Bill O'Reilly (Talking Points Memo, on aiding the recovery):
"Every American should immediately cut back gasoline and oil consumption right now. Don't drive unless you have to, watch the thermostats in your house. Energy secretary Samuel Baden should inform American oil companies not to profiteer. In fact, I think their profits should be cut back by 20% to spare Americans pain. Any oil company that does not voluntarily comply with that should be exposed. President Bush should ask OPEC to drop the price of oil $15 a barrel tomorrow. It costs OPEC about 4 bucks a barrel to produce and market the crude. They're getting 70 dollars a barrel on the open market, do the math!! This is a gouge!"
Of course why stop at just 20%? C'mon Bill, where's your compassion?
