Harry Reid: "Coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick."

Harry Reid, leader of the Senate Democrats, must be one of the most pathetic leaders produced by either political party in the past 2 decades. Watch this video (35 seconds) and ask yourself if this is really the best the Senate Dems have to offer.

In the midst of an energy crisis you hope for leadership to emerge. So far the Democrats have offered no leadership, just hectoring of oil executives, threats to nationalize the oil industry, and now, claims that oil and coal make people sick.

Pat Dollard has this quote from Thomas Pyle:

Now adjourned for its Independence Day recess, the U.S. Congress has convened at least 40 hearings on the issue of skyrocketing energy prices in the first six months of 2008. At least 160 witnesses have been sworn-in and questioned. But, even as consumers suffer, the Congress still has done nothing to increase American energy supplies.

How long til American voters get sick of the Democrats?
