Nanna Oompa Loompelosi: The Plot Thickens
~Snooper~
In a WND article, a DMN article and 2 from Michelle Malkin, it is obvious that Nancy Pelosi has been outed as a Capitalist Pig. That's right. The socialist Nanna, the one that demands the empowerment of the Fairness Doctrine in order to silence the Conservative news outlets because of their success and majority audiences, has been had by the Main Street Media. Not so oddly, the old passe media hasn't caught onto this story - or have they? No worries. We'll take care of it.
Nanna is in bed with the fraud oil man T Boone Pickens. By the way, he isn't an "oil man" by any stretch of the imagination. He made his money in the futures markets. This makes sense because, after all, does not Nanna absolutely loathe "oil men"? Would she dare be seen as remotely appearing to be associated with an evil BIG OIL MAN demon? Perhaps but perhaps not. If that BIG OIL MAN demon agreed with her, I suppose she cold make an exception. Just once.
Coupled with that revelation, if that BIG BAD EVIL OIL MAN demon could line her pocket with funds created by the subsidies of the USG to the tune of $5,000,000.oo, perhaps she would be so inclined to press the issue of "renewable fuels" by wielding her position as Madam Speaker Brothel Master Queen of the People's House. Certainly she would not perform in such an unethical and possibly illegal maneuver, would she? Didn't she promise to lower fuel costs during her campaign? Didn't she promise the most open and most ethical Congress in US history?
In CNN's Larry King Live Show she claimed to be a Washington Outsider. I guess because she stated that it must be true. In the interview transcript, she reveals many things one of which is her blatant lies and her tongue-in-cheek hypocrisy. I have taken just a smidgen of the interview that caught my analytical attention: (emphasis clues my own)
KING: Would you vote yes on a package that includes drilling?And there you have it. Did it leap out and smack you in the face? It should have. At first, she didn't know if she would allow drilling right after she ruled it out and then she said that the oil belongs to the American People and then whined about "profits" made by the oil companies because "they don't get anything in return". Now, THAT is snortworthy indeed.
PELOSI: I would not. It depends how the drilling is put forth. But I don't -- that is not excluded, let me say it that way. It depends how that is proposed, if the safeguards are there. Now, mind you, 68 million acres -- 10 million more acres in Alaska where they can drill. But if there's -- if we can get some great things, in terms of renewable energy resources; a renewable electricity standard; wind, solar, biofuels and the rest in that context, because if you make a decision only to go with the offshore drilling, you are increasing our dependence on fossil fuels and you will never free yourself of that addiction unless you invest in the renewable energy resources that are good for the environment, cheaper for the consumer and will reverse global warming.
And the consumer is our first responsibility. The American taxpayer owns this oil offshore, by the way. Let me make this one final point. This oil is owned by the American taxpayers. The oil companies drill. We give them money to drill there. But we get very little in return.
So I think as we have this debate, which is a very healthy one to have and I welcome it, we have to review and realign the relationship between our oil, big oil's profits and what it means to the consumer and the taxpayer.
And what is she about to do with "American tax payer dollars" in the realm of the largest land and water grabs in US history subsidized by US tax dollars? She stands to make a fortune. That all in itself is not a big deal to me. What bothers me is the blatant double standard. It is only a good thing if SHE makes a fortune from the American People but not the oil companies because she is trying to save the world.
If the consumer is her first responsibility like she said it was, then she should drop everything she is doing and have a vote to do ALL OF THE ABOVE just like the American Energy Act so stipulates. Period. End of discussion.
