I have written before abour Senator Chuck "the snake" Schumer's silly assertion that another million barrels per day oil supply from ANWR would have no effect on the price of gasoline. I suspect everyone knows that you have to be naive to believe anything Schumer has to say. This is from Ace of Spades.

Charles Schumer says that if Bush can "merely" convince his "Saudi friends" we'd reap great rewards -- an extra million barrels per day would save Americans $0.62 per gallon in gas.

But: ANWR would provide one million barrels per day at a generally agreed-upon basement minimum.

Charles Schumer claims that ANWR would at most save Americans one penny per gallon in gas.

Is Saudi oil magical?

Or is it just caribou that are magical?
