Might be better all the way around, and it's definitely not worth killing more people in a pointless war. At least if gas was $9 a gallon we’d learn to do with less of it after a while.

KO last night nominating his “worst person in the world”:

“But our winner tonight, Nevada Congressman John Porter, returning from one of the administration‘s guided tours of Iraq. He met top U.S. and Iraqi officials. Porter then telling the newspaper the “Las Vegas Review Journal” that if the U.S. withdrew from Iraq prematurely, quote, to a person, they said there would be genocide, gas pries [sic] in the U.S. would rise to eight or nine dollars a gallon.

“Does it bother anybody else that when we went into Iraq and protesters said this was a war about gas prices, the right wing fringe branded all of them as lunatics and traitors. Now the right wing fringe, including the president and this guy Porter, are using gas prices as a perfectly legitimate reason to get Americans killed in Iraq. Congressman John Porter of Nevada, today‘s Worst Person in the World!”

By the way, speaking of Tauscher, Moran and Porter’s recent trip to Iraq…guess what type of bio information the Pentagon is distributing to anyone in the Green Zone about Democrats who visit? If you said Green Slime!—give yourself a pat on the back.

It just might have the potential to break through the defenses of the knee-jerk chicken-hawk cheerleaders. I’d like to see this story spread far and wide…by the daily show, by KO, by TPM.
