Pelosi Digs in As Obama Gives Ground on Offshore Drilling

After weeks of steadfast opposition, Barack Obama now says offshore drilling is on the table. We hate to call him a flip-flopper, but if Barack were Whitney Houston he’d say: "Show me the receipts!" And if we were Diane Sawyer, we would gladly produce a handful of speech transcripts proving us right.

While Barack (and McCain) think offshore drilling will help them become President, Nancy Pelosi is House Speaker. (If the Federal government were a game of Asshole, she’d be Treasurer…unless only four people were playing, in which case she’d be Vice Asshole.) Number Three refuses to hold a House vote on the issue—despite the political heat—that would put legislation in motion to allow the first new oil rigs off American shores since 1982. Politicians are so much ballsier when they’re not facing reelection.
