Blame Us!

Say what you want about Larry Craig, but he's giving a great speech about domestic energy development on the Senate floor right now.

He says no one else but Congress deserves the blame for sky-rocketing gas prices.

"Blame us!" he's saying. "Blame your friendly senator. Ask them how they voted," on energy legislation to increase permissible areas to drill and allow more refineries to be built. (These sorts of measures have been repeatedly rejected by Congress.)

"Shame on us!" Craig ended his speech saying.
