According to the leftists gathered on Capitol Hill, who struck out when they attempted to publicly hang oil company executives a couple of weeks ago, unnamed greedy speculators are to be blamed for the ever-increasing cost of oil on world markets.

Left unexplained is how declining oil markets play into their conspiracy theory, one of the longest-running in the parlors of politics.

If the run up in oil prices is a crime, what is a $30 give back? Which speculators should Pelosi and Reid thank for the public service?

You really can't underestimate their intelligence or overestimate their concern for others.
