SocraticGadfly: Passive Pelosi™ flopping again?

Passive Pelosi™ flopping again?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi supposedly now will allow a House vote on offshore oil drilling.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is going to try to keep a lid on the issue on his side of the Capitol via a continuing spending resolution, but that might not hold up.

Given the amount that oil and gas prices have dropped recently, this is stupid as far as political strategy.

Given the need for an increase in gas taxes, this is stupid policy.
