You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
This morning while simultaneously reading the Dispatch and surfing the net, I first came across this story about how Phil Hare “wants to fight high cost of gas” and how “(h)e’s convinced oil companies are gouging prices”.
A few minutes later, I was reading this about how the 41 Democrat House Freshmen have selected a registered lobbyist to form it’s PAC. This lobbyist has recently represented such clients as the OIL INDUSTRY, tobacco interests, pharma interests and American Indian gambling interests. It seems that the lobbyist has been removed from several Dem PACs due to conflict of interest concerns.
Ethics watchdog groups and the GOP are calling this a contradiction of Dems promise to end the culture of corruption in DC.
Gee, ya think?

Yeah, that seems like a dumb move to hire that guy. Why the hell do they need a PAC anyway? That’s all people in D.C. do… Form PAC’s so they can raise money and get re-elected.
I do like that Phil Hare wants to help keep gas prices down, but he’s been saying that for months now. Nothing new there.

Every time gas rises attention starved politicians get on the investigate and windfall profit war wagon. In the end all they do is spout hot air. Windfall profit does not work. And every investigation has shown no gouging. The only real gouging has occurred with companies like Caseys back during the gas scare after the WTC bombing. And they got caught.

LMAO, you could make this stuff up - but with jokers like Feel Hair in office you do not have to create your own comedic tragedy.
