Hopefully, their arrogance will be their undoing.
I didn’t know much about this Van Hollen guy. I don’t recall ever seeing anything of him before. But, you could have injected botox into his face, and put a wig on him, placed a failed book in his hand, and it would have come out as Nancy Pelosi spewing her spin. The guy had a real condescending and snotty attitude, and as I said, offered the same old same old, “we can’t drill our way out of this”, blah blah blah, “it will be 10 years before any production starts” blah blah blah “and then, negligable effect on prices” etc. etc. etc. And when Steve Doocey asked him about China drilling off of our coast, his response was basically “so what”. As I said, it was too bad Eric Cantor couldn’t get through to counter this spew.
I just hope someone in Maryland’s 8th district, (Van Hollen’s; I looked it up), was paying attention, and remembers this clown when they gas up to go to the polls in Nov.!
Yes soon you'll be able to see Chinese oil rigs off the coast of Florida, but we will not be allowed to drill in the same area by our illustrious Congress. I'm glad these idiots - who, after all, are trying to save the planet! - are so stupid. Makes it easier to defeat them.
Unfortunately Marylnad is true-blue Democrat. Somehow, miraculously, Ehrlich was able to get in for one-term (even defeating a Kennedy in the process) as governor, but now it’s Marty O’Malley and the Dem machine. Michael Steele couldn’t bust through in 2006.
