Conservatives forget talking points, rant against left on gas prices
To read the whole article, click here.

Sean Hannity the other day said that liberals and the media owe President Bush an apology for questioning his leadership when gas prices were on the rise, and should give Bush credit for the recent price drop -- about 22 cents/gallon on average over the past two weeks.

Meanwhile, radio clown Mark Levin ranted last night about how liberals don't understand the laws of supply and demand. Supply is up, he said, and prices have dropped. He then made fun of "Schmucky Schumer" (Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and demanded that Schumer apologize to the American people for questioning earlier this year whether Big Oil was artificially hiking prices.

I found this all very amusing.

5. i just think the hypocrisy of the right-wing talkers is incredible
at other times, you'll hear the wingers say that Bush has no control over the economy -- to discount Clinton's role in the good economy of the 1990s. in the next breath, they'll say that bush deserves credit for lower unemployment or whathaveyou.

2. Not so fast
We have a long way to go before we back down to Clinton era gas prices. In addition, they should apologize to him for screaming bloody murder when gas prices went up to a $1.60.

6. Either the prices were artificially too high before, or they are now
artificially too low ... remember, the "BP pipeline" still needs repaired ... meaning "shutdown" ...
