Do Democrats actually listen to T Boone Pickens? posted at 12:30 pm on August 18, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Debbie Stabenow, and the rest of the Senate Democrats have recently begun singing the praises of T. Boone Pickens. Even Barack Obama says that “Pickens is right” when it comes to energy. Why?

Democrat Heaps Praise on Pickens Despite Pro-Drilling
Remarks
Listening to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid talk about T.
Boone Pickens, you'd think the two were in perfect harmony with a

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Over the past few weeks we've seen glowing praise for T. Boone Pickens from Democrats such as Carl Pope, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and Paul Begala. Even Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama got in on the action, saying "T. Boone Pickens is right. We need a much bolder and much bigger set of solutions." This is a grave mistake.
To make matters worse, I've just learned that Pickens will be speaking at The Big Tent in Denver next week. Why is this anti-environmentalist being given a platform at an event which appears to ...
