Larry Craig: Don't Jerk Us Around by the Gas Nozzle

Yes, you heard that right! In speaking about energy independence on the Senate floor, Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) said that America needs to start producing oil once again so that foreign countries won't "jerk us around by the gas nozzle."

Now, I'm no expert on energy independence, but I would think that Bush, McCain, and the rest of the Republicans pushing for offshore drilling wouldn't want Craig and his scandalous past to come anywhere near a campaign with soundbytes like this that could be misconstrued as innuendo. But that's just me.

What's also funny about this clip is that Craig somehow thinks that offshore drilling will suddenly fix our economy and national security, as well as allay the xenophobic fears that he and his cronies have been implanting for years. Oil, the magical cure-all. Gas nozzle!

3. So we'll increase the oil supply by drilling offshore and give the Chinese more oil!

Yeah, that'll show 'em. This whole "debate" is sickeningly disingenuous on both sides. It's a global market, and the Chinese are the biggest financial players right now. Oil found here doesn't mean it's automatically ours.
