Venezuela's vice president on Monday told top U.S. Republican Sen. John McCain he could "go to hell" for suggesting that "wackos" were governing the oil-producing South American country.

Commenting on U.S. reliance on foreign oil supplies, McCain told Fox News Sunday, "We better understand the vulnerabilities that our economy and our very lives have ... when we're dependent on Iranian mullahs and wackos in Venezuela."

By the way, those "wackos" send something like 50% of their oil to the US. Regardless of the regime in the US and Venezuela, the oil never stops flowing. McCain is full of crap on this one. You want to not depend on mullahs and wackos, you come up with a plan to develop energy alternatives. There is no other solution. The US cannot drill itself to oil self-sufficiency. That's just political rhetoric that has been taken as reality by politicos like McCain.
