BOSTON - In a TV commercial, former Rep. Joseph Kennedy stands aboard an oil tanker moving across the Boston skyline and promises that millions of gallons of discounted heating oil are on their way to poor, shivering families, courtesy of "our good friends in Venezuela."

1. What about Saudi Arabia? They are the chief sponsors of...

Islamic-Fundamentalist terrorism.

Chavez has no such history.

2. Good for Joe Kennedy.

"Kennedy fired back by saying that if Mack wants to create a moral litmus test for oil-exporting countries and other trade partners, the congressman should hold Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Russia and China to the same standard.

"Once we've followed the Mack Doctrine and refused oil from every country that fails to meet our disciplined moral standards, I'm sure you'll enjoy your walks to Washington, because there certainly won't be fuel to fly you there," Kennedy wrote to Mack."

Connie Mack, fascist shithead, FLA, got pwned.

"Kennedy said he approached other oil companies but only Citgo, the Venezuelan government's Texas-based oil subsidiary, responded with an offer of aid. He said nothing in his contracts require him to publicly thank Citgo and Venezuela. That was his decision, he said."

The other companies were too busy counting the obscene windfall profits they are making to bother providing a bit of oil for those who are freezing this winter, freezing right here in the good old USA.

Back atcha Mack.

3. The Repubs are trying to win the battle of media attention by manufacturing as many phony scandals

as they can.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. ya think?

It is their modus operandi. The coordinated bullshit attack du jour. And note the follow up maneuver: never stop to defend from the counterattack, move on to the next round.

7. What I can't understand

is...the poorest of America should be the ones to sacrifice so the richest can profit. That makes sense. If Chavez is going to send the poor discounted oil and the RICH BITCHES in this country don't like it, why don't they discount the oil, or give it to the poor who can't afford to heat their homes.

Just like the Iraq War...the poor are fighting the war and the rich are approving of bush sending them there, while they sit on there butts and drink champagne.

8. So, we can BUY it from Saudi Arabia and Iran, but we can't take free oil from Venezuela?

What the fuck?

9. Good for Joe.
