Self-Parody

The drones over at the AP and Maria Cantwell literally must have been smoking something funny today.

Check out this headline of a Cantwell screed:

“Dems Decry U.S. Dependence on Fossil Fuels.”

Riiiiiiiiight.

Let’s see, which party’s special interests and elected representatives have spent the better part of the past 25 years blocking such things as, well, you know, nuclear power plants?

And which party’s special interests have spent the past couple of decades filing lawsuits to prevent the construction of new dams and thereby to block new sources of hydro-electric power? And how has that affected the ability of local and regional utilities to invest in renewable sources of energy, e.g., wind power?

I mean, come on.

The AP and Maria Cantwell are walking and talking political farces.
