When you let oil companies write the energy policy

 this is what you get. You reap what you sow.

That was Steve McMahon on Hardball this afternoon, speaking about high gas prices. A great frame. The point that oil companies have written the energy policy under the Bush administration, was simple and rang true.It should be included in all democratic talking points.

McMahon was better than I've seen him in a long time.

It was a great to see him pit the republican, Susan Molinari, against the president on the subject of immigration. Saying that the democrats agreed with Bush on a compassionate approach to earning citzenship. That democrats believed it was wrong morally to make it a felony to help a person. He left Molinari to sputter.
