Dick Durbin spanks Neil Cavuto on oil company windfalls (VIDEO)
It's on the Fox website, so hold your nose, click here, and follow the video link that says "Cavuto vs. Durbin: Pump Politics".

Durbin effortlessly swatted away Cavuto's attempts to somehow blame Jimmy Carter and Democrats for the price of gas, and made it absolutely clear that the oil companies are gouging us and reaping record profits. Cavuto was reduced to mumbling "Well, I'm not apologist for the oil companies, and I think you know that." Durbin: "Oh, I'm not so sure."


Watch it.

1. "Conservative" experts make it so easy
They are the cowards who are comfortable with their own kind behind a microphone. Cavuto is an apologist for the oil companies and george bush and every thing else that is hurting America. Why else would he work for faux?

Thanks for posting this. I never get tired of watching "conservatives" makes asses of themselves.

3. Wow, thanks for the clip. Durbin really got Cavuto flustered !
He is so obnoxious, he was double-talking, and foaming at the mouth.

Kudos, Mr Durbin !!

5. Durbin makes sense to me! Fox can't stand it when someone comes on and ...
points out ineffective Bush is with the oil companies with regards to the publi's interest.
Dedicated to Bush to the point of making a complete ass of himself.

7. How drunk on Kool-Aid must you be
to hear about the obscene profits by these oil companies and still buy into what Faux is trying to sell?

According to Cavuto's talking points, the poor oil companies are only making 9 cents a gallon. Suuuure, that's right, they're barely scraping by. It's only because they're so efficient that they're able to turn a profit. /sarcasm.

Durbin kept his cool, even as Cavuto repeatedly interrupted him. He got some good concise points out there. I was impressed by him.

9. I wish someone would just point out the math
Simply divide the profit by the number of gallons sold and you get how much per gallon the companies are gouging us. My guess it is at least a dollar or more.

11. Cavuto is a T-O-O-L!
What a fucking W-H-O-R-E!! Fortunately, I have managed to avoid his smarmy bullshit, for the most part, up to now. Durbin gave him a righteous ass-whuppin' and I hope more Americans see it and see what a pack of whores their beloved Fox "News" Network is.
