Democrats blame Bush for gas prices

I don’t know how they think this will fly with Americans, but CNN reports that Congressional Democrats (including my punk-ass Congressman Chris Van Hollen) have hired a Bush impersonator to do radio spots;

After an opening tailor-made for each targeted Republican, the impersonator then reads this boilerplate script:

“‘W’ here, wanted to thank you for your support of the big oil energy agenda. ‘Preciate you voting to keep giving billions in tax breaks to the big oil companies. Sure, gasoline is over four bucks a gallon and the oil companies are making record profits, but what’s good for big oil is good for America, right? I guess that’s why they call us the Grand Oil Party. Heh, heh, heh.”

Yeah, um, Americans aren’t so gullible that we’re going to believe that Bush energy policies got us here…especially since Democrats have blocked nearly all of the Bush policies in the first damn place. Did I mention that 76% of all Americans are agreed that we need to start drilling our own oil and refining our own gas? I guess we know who the other 24% are voting for in November.

As for my punk-ass Congressman, Chris Van Hollen, every time I call his office to talk to the numbnuts who knows about Van Hollen’s position on our energy policy, the clown doesn’t seem to be in the office. But punk-ass Van Hollen finds time to talk to CNN, apparently;

Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the DCCC, told CNN that Democrats chose to use a Bush impersonator because the president’s “big oil energy policies delivered high gas prices to the American people, so who better to deliver our message than someone who sounds like him? Every time Americans fill up their tanks or buy groceries high gas prices grab their attention, so it’s important to give credit where credit is due.”

Yeah, well, actually it only makes sense for a phony party to make a phony point using a phony Bush.
