...summer - which Senator Hillary Clinton also supports - is exactly the sort of energy policy we don't need, a pandering fix that will barely affect gas prices and only encourage Americans to drive more.)

Not that this is necessarily a partisan issue, either: Sen. Larry Craig was positively marooned by his Republican Party—presumably because its members find cloacal homosexual activity abominable—while his Louisiana counterpart David Vitter emerged unscathed from an encounter with...
