Gas bag

Newt Gingrich says vote for him and he'll lower gasoline prices to $2 a gallon. If bogus campaign bloviations could do that, we'd be paying the oil companies.

And kudos to the Associated Press for stepping outside what is likely it's normal comfort zone and calling out Gingrich and the GOP chorus for thinking presidents have all sorts of unfettered powers to move heaven and earth.

As we have seen, they have a hard time moving congresses that are as stubborn as jackasses.
