What, 10 years you say?
Sometimes political attacks materialize all by themselves. John
McCain is set to board a helicopter today and travel 150 miles off the
Louisiana cost to host a campaign event on the Genesis Project oil rig.
The overarching point is to stress the Senator’s newfound
commitment to offshore drilling. But the stop also plays into a meme
critics have been pushing for weeks. The oil rig on which McCain will be
speaking is partially owned by Exxon Mobil. According to the website
RIGZONE.com, the energy giant has a 38.38 percent share in the Genesis
Project, topped only by Chevron’s 56.67 percent.
The DNC sends out an email hitting McCain for his oil rig visit,
adding, among other things that "on that rig, *it took 10 years* from
the date oil was discovered until the rig he will be standing on today
produced a single drop of oil."

It's an interesting point.
I wonder why John is so flexible when he knows otherwise.
