The Evil oil speculators have “speculated” the price of oil back down to $113/barrel, a $34/barrel drop from its high of around $147 a few weeks ago when Chancellor Pelosi claimed Bush’s lifting the off-shore drilling restriction was a meaningless gesture. (Unlike her two years as Speaker).  What I find most amusing about this is that one of the many stupid democrat excuses for high gas prices was that speculators were getting rich off the middle class.  But even as the price of oil goes down, the evil oil speculators are still getting rich.  You see Nancy, the selling price is not what makes them rich, it’s the speculating on where the price will go next that makes them rich.   George Bush said see I’m serious about increasing supply, they guessed the price would go down…tap tap…is this thing turned on?

So should we now speculate that there will be a litany of moans and groans from Democrats about how “evil oil speculators are getting rich off the middle class by driving down the price of oil?”  Of course not it’s an obvious lie; as opposed to their previous misrepresentation of the facts for political points. (also known as a lie)  Of course it is entirely possible that some of the dumbo-crats who just blindly toe the party line (Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen come immediately to mind) really do just that, without any introspection or independent fact checking whatsoever.  Speculators do what? 

This is hardly a flattering trait for someone you have appointed to represent your interests, because it proves they are more than willing to ignore your interests, and run off and sell whatever the party tells them to sell you, or more likely what the greenbacked green PAC’s want them to sell you.  Bought and sold takes on a whole new meaning. Doesn’t seem too hard to see whose really evil here.
