You Have GOT to be Kidding Me

Former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond has been appointed by Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman to "lead an influential study to develop policy solutions to America’s energy crisis."

Lee Raymond, who received "one of the most generous retirement packages in history, nearly $400 million, including pension, stock options and other perks, such as a $1 million consulting deal, two years of home security, personal security, a car and driver, and use of a corporate jet for professional purposes," after Exxon made made the biggest profit of any company ever in 2005, $36 billion.

Lee Raymond, who said that he recognizes that high gasoline prices "have put a strain on Americans' household budgets" but nonetheless defended his companies huge profits.

This Lee Raymond:



Who made $6,000 an hour in 2004, yet said of high
gas prices during Congressional testimony, "We're
all in this together, everywhere in the world."

This fucking useless pig of a corporate welfare recipient, who shits money made at the gas pump and has oil pouring our his ears, has been appointed by the Bush administration to head up a study to find ways to solve our energy crisis. We are so far through the looking glass that I fear we’d need more fossil fuels than are left in the world to find our way back.
