As the oil executives hearings on Capitol Hill received great media attention given soaring gasoline prices, supposedly impartial press members missed a classic flipflop by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as it pertains to the benefits of OPEC raising production quotas versus America drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
On Wednesday, Schumer once again claimed "if [Saudi Arabia] did a million barrels of oil a day increase from today, it would go down about -- the translation to gasoline would be about $.50 a gallon, maybe $.62."
Yet, on May 7, Schumer felt a likely similar increase from drilling in ANWR would "reduce the price of oil by a penny."

Hey -- "Chucky Schmucky Schumer" (Mark Levin's nickname for this idiot) -- which is it? This is what I love about the libs -- always so honest and forthright -- so deserving of your trust. Yes, you can believe everything out of their mouths.
I guess he's really in trouble now, eh? Yep, I'll bet the media will be ALL OVER this -- non-stop stories commin' up. All you libs hold your breath until an objective jourrrrrrnalist brings it up.
Hey -- Schmucky -- why aren't you in jail for outright lies from your senate seat? How dumb do people have to be before they vote for you a second time? Braying jackass.
