Girlieman of the Week -- Congressman Steven Kagen

From Politically Incorrect Gazette --

Girlieman of the Week
Date Awarded: May 23, 2008

Girlieman: Congressman Steve Kagen
Girlie Antics: Gutless Scapegoating

Even the Clown Posse on Capitol Hill know that gas prices have skyrocketed into the stratosphere and show no sign of coming down anytime soon. Some of the underlying factors - the increasing demand for energy from growing economic powerhouses like India and China - are beyond little Stevie’s control. He might be a legend in his own mind, but nobody in China or India gives a rat’s butt what he says or does.

Other underlying factors fall squarely on the stooped shoulders of Stevie and his Clown Posse cohorts. I refer, as if you can’t guess, to the many roadblocks that Stevie and his cohorts erected to prevent America from taking simple, no brainer, steps to resolve its unmet energy needs. These steps would include freeing known petroleum reserves in Colorado, the Dakotas, Alaska, and offshore for production. These steps would also include opening the path for more nuclear fueled power plants, a move that would reduce our need for oil, considerably.

In addition to keeping our proven oil reserves off line, Stevie and his big spending homeboys have made a bad situation much, much, worse by putting the dollar into freefall. Since oil is priced in dollars, prices are driven up every time the dollar hits a new low.

This week, ignoring those clucking, ‘public policy’ chickens that are coming home to roost at every gas pump in this great nation, Stevie went gutless and girlie and decided to take his whining to the next level. How? Stevie perpetrated some legicrap that allows the United States Justice Department to - TA DA - SUE OPEC for limiting oil supplies. If anyone needs to be sued for limiting supply it’s Stevie and the other 323 gutless wonders who voted for this stinker.

For failing to man up and admit his on-going complicity in keeping America dependent on foreign oil...for lacking the stones to shore up the U.S. dollar by cutting spending and imposing sound fiscal policy...for looking for a scapegoat instead of viable solutions...for exacerbating the problem through his craven cowardice and steadfast refusal to admit his role in this energy price debacle, Congressman Steve Kagen is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.

Parting shot: Granted, it took 324 pinheads to pass this stinker, but Stevie is the gutless wonder who sponsored the damn thing.
