It's great that Simon caught Davis in this blatant lie, but I have a problem with Simon positioning himself to the left on a completely bogus environmental issue.

It's not only bogus, Simon's position on offshore drilling is environmentally destructive. Pumping oil in the Santa Barbara Channel reduces the static pressure of the oil that would otherwise seep to the surface. That oil will now foul the water at an increasing rate, killing birds and intertidal marine life. The Chumash Indians used to seal their fishing boats with the stuff that floated up on the beach.

Too bad he can't seem to get decent help on this issue when it's available free of charge.

Glad to see someone else caught that.
