Sununu Spreads Debunked Cuba Oil Drilling Story Again

by: Dean Barker

Wed Jul 02, 2008 at 21:08:17 PM EDT


Remember when John E. was pushing Cheney's talking points about drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba? The ones that were quickly debunked?

Well, what do you do when you've been caught peddling propaganda?  You just drop the word "China" and hope nobody notices.

Too bad for John E's integrity that someone noticed and it ended up at TPM:

So now Sununu has simply subtracted China from the story, making Cuba the lone culprit -- but this version isn't true, either.

We've asked his campaign and Senate offices for clarification, but they have not gotten back to us.

I wouldn't be waiting too long by the phone, Eric.

But don't worry about the shamelessness of using misleading statements to prop up Big Oil. Remember - the smartest guy in the Senate votes with New Hampshire 100% of the time, and that's all that matters.

Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) (4.00 / 2)
Who are the people in America who, according to John E. Sunoco, "say 'no, we're not going to explore'"?  Here's one:  Charlie Crist, the popular Republican governor, McCain ally, and VP frontrunner.

When Crist was running for his current job a few years ago, he condemned a deal that would have placed oil drilling rigs within 125 miles of his state's beaches:  "I don't think it's good for Florida."

States' rights can be so damn inconvenient!


"Remember - the smartest guy in the Senate votes with New Hampshire 100% of the time" (0.00 / 0)
That's probably true, but it's not John E. Sununu.  I can think of a few other possible choices for that title, but none of them are social conservatives...

Votes with New Hampshire (0.00 / 0)
or votes with Bush (big oil?)?
