We all know Republican Senator David Vitter uses diapers instead of condoms to practice safe sex while being spanked by prostitutes in New Orleans and DC. As long as Vitter continues to "vote" to defend marriage and pledge allegiance to the almighty Tea Party, God will allow him to continue to define adultery as Democrats engaging in extramarital sex. His latest fetish involves the favorite lubricant of Republicans - oil.
Vitter has his panties in a wad over the president's energy policy speech.
"Yesterday, the president offered some vague platitudes, but no concrete plans to rein in rising gas prices, even as they climb toward $4 per gallon," Senator Vitter said at a press conference.
Vitter announced he and fellow Republicans will introduce a bill to force the administration to open drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska and the Arctic ocean, stop legal challenges to federal mineral leases, and approve the Keystone XL pipeline to import tar sands oil from Canada.
The ANWR drilling plan is embedded in energy legislation that also would restrict legal challenges to federal lease decisions, force the government to approve a pipeline that would bring Canadian oil sands crude to the Gulf Coast and clear the path for Shell to drill in Arctic waters near Alaska.Houston Chronicle, March 31, article by Jennifer Dlouhy
The legislation will provide billions of new revenues to BP, Shell, and Koch Industries, while covering for fiscally irresponsible Republican governors in Alaska, Oklahoma, and Texas. Pushing polar bears closer to extinction and drastically increasing greenhouse gas emissions are just amusing side benefits.
