Hugs For The Oil Execs

Senator McBush via Barbin:

My friends, we have to drill off shore. We have to do it. It's out there and we can do it. And we can do that. The oil executives say within a couple of years we could be seeing results from it. So why not do it?

Why not do it? Oil executives? Results?

If all of the drilling took place and yielded maximum resutls, oil prices would drop 3 to 4 cents according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. That's 3 to 4 cents lower than some random potentially higher future number.

Next, McBush will insist that everyone take up smoking because tobacco executives say it's harmless and non-addictive.
