Florida Congressman Connie Mack should shut his yap regarding Citizens Energy, Joe Kennedy's non-profit company that provides low-cost heating oil to the elderly and the poor. Mack called the recent Citizens television commercial -- in which Kennedy thanks "our good friends in Venezuela" for the cheap oil provided by Citgo, which is owned by the Venezuelan government -- propaganda.Mack is upset because Venezuela's leader, Hugo Chavez, doesn't make nice with the US. He even called George W. Bush "the devil" at the UN last year. No one is saying that we all have to agree with Chavez's socialist politics when we purchase his oil.
I'm sure that if Mack were up here in hearty New England and unable to pay his heating bill, he'd refuse the oil from Venezuela, right? Just like he refuses gasoline from Saudi Arabia, which is run by corrupt extremists, or Russia, controlled by the tyrant Putin.
