Wikileaks Releases Damning Keystone Pipeline Emails

[Champion Jack]

e-mail conversations between the two Canadian oil execs...

Kerry: I tried to keep everybody focused on the physical pipeline and jobs they might get but a few people were asking questions about where the oil was going once it came through the pipeline.

Girling: Where the hell do they think it’s going? It’s going to China for Christs sake. Do they think it was going to the Shell station around the corner?

Kerry: The poll we did last week shows that 80 of Americans think that the oil is coming right into the US for their own consumption. Well when we told them it was getting piped to the Gulf, they assumed it was the Gulf station on Main street. We have about 30 senators and congressmen that seem to have a problem with us laying a 1700 mile skid-mark through the center of America that won’t benefit the US one bit.

1. It becomes harder to distinguish satire and reality n/t.

2. Reality probably does go pretty much like that

I'd love to be a fly on the wall sometimes.

3. That's a photo of Kirby Drive

It runs through River Oaks, the wealthiest 'hood in Houston, and actually was torn up like that with a drainage overhaul a year or two ago. Still, the Photoshop could have been better, and so could the proofreading.

Everybody lately is crowding in on The Onion's turf. Not that this is a bad thing...

4. Knew it was satire, but sheesh, where's the spelling police when you need them?

Racist, also. Not really funny. Looks like what FR would print as gospel.
