When it comes to energy issues, Democrats' hypocrisy grows ever thicker.
This week, Politico.com reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an ardent foe of offshore drilling, is privately "encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically."
**Translation: Pelosi knows Americans are outraged by her opposition to drilling and doesn't want Dems to let principles get in the way of good politics.
Oh, and remember that proposed gas-tax holiday that Dems, including Barack Obama, so vehemently oppose? Turns out the Blue Party really doesn't mind a holiday from taxes - for themselves.
The host committee for their national convention in Denver has been filling up its cars at the city's municipal pumps, thus skirting state and federal taxes of 40.4 cents a gallon. Yet those pumps are meant only for government, not party, vehicles.
