GOP Hardon for ANWR again rears it's ugly head

[mburbank]

Yep, they've attached ANWR drilling to a budget bill this time, about the twentieth time they've tried to sink their oil seeking weiner into that particular patch of wilderness.

This time there's a funny twist, in that Alaska is in the midst of it's worst oil spill ever, a spill it took British Petroleum FIVE DAYS to become aware of. Thank god that kind of gross and dangerous incompetence could never take place at the rigs we'd be building in ANWR.

I think it's cute how much more dedicated the hard core of the GOP is to this issue than other signature issues, like Social Security. Maybe it's because several of them stand to make billions in profits if it goes through. Or maybe that's just syncial.
