Pelosi Responds Predictably to New Poll

Fancy Nancy had these comments just a few months ago promising more government programs to punish oil companies thus reigning in the runaway costs of fuel that impacts the entire U.S. economy. She calls these programs “common sense.” Somehow, I just can’t see how raising the cost of doing business to oil companies can possibly do anything but raise fuel costs even further, but, maybe I’m missing something—or not. Since this press conference the cost of fuel at the pump has risen another 25%.

In a new Rasmussen poll the grand dame of Pacific Heights is shown to be presiding over the worst Congress in the history of the Republic, having an approval rating of 9%. In an attempt to shift the blame for her monumental failure as Speaker of the House, Pelosi is now blaming the oil crisis on the Bush administration for not tapping the strategic oil reserves so as to lower fuel costs. Democrats criticized John McCain’s proposal for a gas tax moratorium as “gimcrackery” and they were right. And so is Speaker Pelosi’s proposal to release strategic reserves, made even more absurd by the fact that she had announced only weeks before plans to solve the crisis with Democrat congressional initiatives that were doomed to fail from the outset.

There will be even bigger and better solutions from the fertile mind of Ms. Pelosi, this we can be sure. We can also be sure that she will not cross the enviro-fascists who have done so much to ensure our country's dependence on foreign oil and to whom she has pandered shamelessly, even to the point of fabricating Bible quotes advocating radical enviromentalism.
