Yep, Barry is a mechanic. No, don’t be silly, not that kind of mechanic. Although his stance on abortion would suggest otherwise. No folks, ol’ Barry is an auto mechanic. Check out this polished turd:
“We could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could save just as much.”
Emphasis by me. Video here
I am really starting to question the validity of Harvard’s education system. Really, I am. You get this guy away from a scripted, rehearsed, laid-out-for-him tele-prompter and he is lost. I mean a real deer in the headlights. And for the love of God, stop saying “uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, ummm, ummm, ummm, uhhh.”
By the way, Powerline absolutely destroys this absurd, ridiculous claim. In a nutshell:
How does this stack up against “all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling?”
ANWR: 10 billion barrels
Outer Continental Shelf: 18 billion barrels (estimated; the actual total is undoubtedly much higher, since exploration has been banned)
Oil shale: 1 trillion barrels
So, on the above assumptions, it would take only 11,308 years of proper tire inflation to equal “all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling.”
Eventually the media will stop protecting this guy.
