This is really the issue, for me - why are we grilling dudes about making an asston of money? Seriously - if the Senate wants to rein in oil profits, they're going to have to do it with legislation, not some sort of pseudo-moral pandering against capitalism.
The very fact that they'd prefer a dog-and-pony show to actually taking action should show you exactly what this is: playing to the public to no effect, other than soapbox moments to be replayed during the next election cycle. It sucks.
"Record profits" . . . why don't we bring in people who drive Hummers and discuss "record consumption" while we're at it?
