Joe Kennedy Bends Over, Spreads His Ass Cheeks and Gets Pumped With Oil From Hugo Chavez....

Count your blessings if you don't live in Massachusetts, we are barraged every winter with TV ads from Kennedy touting his "friends in Venezuela" that give him free oil......

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez will keep donating heating oil for poor American families in a costly decision that suggests the Venezuelan leader wants to keep to his pledges — and buttress his image — in spite of falling oil prices. (could the AP fawn any harder over Chavez? I think not -ed.)

"Chavez decided that it was a mistake," said Larry Birns, director of the Washington-based Council on Hemispheric Affairs. He said Citgo officials probably recommended the cost-saving measure to Chavez in the first place, but the impact may not have sunk in until the president saw the reaction.

He then "began to understand that the cutbacks of the U.S. program were very damaging in terms of image," Birns said.

Former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy, who heads Citizens Energy, said Chavez intervened directly to continue the program, which provides fuel to 200,000 households in 23 states and 65 Native American tribes. His group said Citgo donated $100 million worth of heating oil last year.

Once again...why the US needs to drill for its own oil and promote natural gas.

Count your blessings if you don't live in Massachusetts, we are barraged every winter with TV ads from Kennedy touting his "friends in Venezuela" that give him free oil......

Here in the D.C. area, we get baraged with those same ads during January and February, the heat-the-house season.

Joe is a far leftist. Goes without saying, of course.
