In a grilling of oil executives by a House panel yesterday, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., threatened to nationalize the industry if it didn't do something about the rising prices at the pump.
A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com, showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.

Maxine probably views herself as the reincarnation of Lazaro Cardenas, who nationalized the oil industry in Mexico in the 1930s (much of which was drilled by William F. Buckley Sr.).
Since I brought up Lazaro, I met his son, Cuatehemoc when I was a student at the University of Chicago, back when he was running for President of Mexico. He was one of the dumbest public figures I ever talked to (couldn't answer the most basic questions about Mexico-US relations), so he and Marxine would be pees in a pod...
