Haley Barbour just said ANWR would be producing 2 BILLION bbl/day today if not for ...

[Bozita]

... Bill Clinton. Said it on Larry King.

Nobody blinks. Nobody says a word. So it must be true?

These people are unfuckingbelievable.

I'm going back to Abrams. He's gonna do something with the anthrax story.

1. Eight years later, and everything is still Bill Clinton's fault.

The republicans need to grow up.

[NewJeffCT]

6. ha - they're still dragging up Chappaquiddick with Ted Kennedy

and it's been 40 years.

they'll still bring up Clinton in 2040 when something bad happens.

[sabbat hunter]

2. are you sure he said billion

and not million? I don't think there is a field ever in existence that produced 2 billion per day, it is practically impossible considering that is the entirety of some fields.

[Bozita]

5. I swear I heard BILLION.

That's an incredible amount.

[sabbat hunter]

24. its an

impossible amount.

[NewJeffCT]

3. and then counter - we could have had the entire country

powered by hydrogen, wind & solar if we followed Jimmy Carter's energy policies from 30 years ago...

4. Any time you see Haley Barbour on the tube, lunge for the remote

and change the station. Do it fast.

He's one of the most insidious lizards to ever slither out of a Republican fundraiser.

[Canuckistanian]

8. I think that's the best advice so far

Hey, howya doing , OC?

:hi:

[saltpoint]

9. Hey there! Good to see ya on these boards!

We're doin' great. 'Went to see BRIDESHEAD REVISITED and DARK KNIGHT this weekend!

Give me cinema or give me death!

How 'bout you? I hope all's well your way! :hi:

[Canuckistanian]

14. Whoa, wait a minute

'Brideshead Revisited'? I watched that back in the 80's with my mom (now deceased). There's a sequel? I'm gobsmacked.

Otherwise things are well with the Caunuckistanians and the junior Canusckistanianling!

:hi:

[saltpoint]

15. Yes -- a new film.

http://bridesheadrevisited-themovie.com/

A haunting mesh of eloquence and beauty on one hand and incredible despair on the other.

Emma Thompson does herself proud.

[Canuckistanian]

19. Thanks

The original with Jeremy Irons has a special meaning to me.

And it's a hell of a bittersweet story.

[saltpoint]

20. Agree strongly on Irons. In fact, just to be on the safe side, it might be best

if EVERY film had Mr. Irons in it.

He lifts all boats, it seems to me.

7. Saudi Arabia produces about 8 million barrels per day

When you don't know something .... just make it up

[carp]

10. He said two billion barrels today, not a day. NT

11. How the fuck does anyone understand him anyway?

He is barely one step above a cow chewing it's cud.

[Lint Head]

12. Haley Barbour has been video taped making fun of African Americans.

He is a racist not to mention a liar. :dem:

[spanone]

13. haley barbour is a hack.

[CrazyDude]

16. Let's go with the high end estimate of 16 billion bbl of oil reserves in ANWR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Refuge_drilling_controversy#Estimates_of_oil_reserves

Also according to this article, this is at best around 1% of the total world reserves. The reduction in expected oil prices would be negligble taking in to account the 40% volatility of oil on an annual basis.

[Lex]

17. Barbour is a Grade A lying sack of excrement

and always has been.

[saltpoint]

21. Right on all counts, except for one technicality.

There's no sack.

[ThoughtCriminal]

18. Off by a factor of 1000-10000

he must have meant 2 million, but even that is about twice the most optimistic estimates I've heard.

Then again, republicans are notoriously bad at math - he might not know the difference.

At the rate you're quoting the ANWR reserves would be sucked dry in a few days.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Wow it's the magical fairyland of oil!!!

[Ganja Ninja]

25. Clinton left office 7 1/2 years ago.

For most of that time the GOP has had total control of all 3 branches of the government. If drilling in ANWR or offshore would have fixed the problem why didn't they do it while they had their chance?
