Dems Hate Gas
Dems are calling out some oil-grubbing jerks:
As the debate over what to do about high gas prices continued on Capitol Hill, Democrats on Wednesday called for a new energy bill and federal legislation to punish price gougers.
"There’s no reason why we can’t put forth a real energy policy that addresses the needs of this nation," said Rep. Bart Stupak, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, "from gouging to market manipulation to biofuels. We can do it."
Jim Clyburn, a representative from South Carolina, welcomed President Bush’s call for investigations into possible price gouging but put the blame for high prices on the White House.
"All he has to do is take a short trip to the nearest mirror, and he will see what the problem with the prices at the pump," Clyburn said.
I have no idea what oil has to do with the creepshow George W. Bush would see in the mirror, but whatever cliche works.
This has been Andy D.
