By now, most of you have seen his moronic "Celeb" ad equating Barack Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. If not, here it is:
Beside the just plain insulting (and ignorant) equation of Obama with spoiled starlets, his continued reliance on the off-shore drilling argument assumes the American public does not understand that any oil that might come from such drilling would not impact gas prices for several years -- and unfortunately, he is correct, the populace is that stupid (2 out of 3 agree with Bush and McCain about drilling).
But if you don't believe me, just ask the government:
According to the federal government's own Department of Energy, drilling off America's coasts would not have a significant impact on domestic oil production or prices before 2030. And off-shore leasing wouldn't even begin before 2012.Oops.
But, hey, McCain's a maverick, and like his buddy W., he'd never let the facts get in the way of a politically expedient argument.
