I've repeatedly said that Harry Reid is the most delusional leader that the House or Senate have ever seen. After reading this article in the Hill Magazine, I'm forced to rethink that. It's possible that Nancy Pelosi may have eclipsed Sen. Reid. Here's what I'm basing that opinion on:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday shut the door on expanding oil and gas drilling beyond areas that have already been approved for energy exploration, drawing a clear distinction from her counterparts in charge of the Senate. “This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.” Pelosi’s stand may put her at odds with a growing number of members of the Democratic Caucus who have been moving toward possible compromises with Republicans on ways to expand domestic energy production. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Wednesday told reporters that expanded offshore drilling is not off the table, and that Democrats will take a look at whether states should be able to choose to drill off their coasts. “I’m not knee-jerk-opposed to anything,” Reid said.Reid's signalling that he's open to increasing exploration, though I suspect that that's because he knows that Pelosi will stop the bill in the House.
When Ms. Pelosi says that drilling is a hoax, how does she explain the cuban Economic Zone?
