Nobody
“Nobody’s happy with gasoline prices being where they are,” said Representative Joe L. Barton, Republican of Texas and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, who last year championed scores of new tax breaks for the industry.
Yeah, nobody. ExxonMobil’s 2006 first quarter profits will be announced at 10 AM CST today. This is a first in Washington. Everybody who is anybody who voted for the oil companies and their tax breaks eight months ago is now nobody. Nobody thinks anybody will notice. Nobody is going to get elected in November if they think anybody is that dumb.
Plus a few things W doesn’t want you to know about.

Representative Barton was just blowing smoke. Down here in Texas he’s not called ‘Smokey Joe’ for nuthin!
