Ed Schultz Suspects Right-Wing Conspiracy Behind Lower Oil Prices

Most people, those on the rational end of the spectrum anyway, are probably not bothered by oil prices dropping from their nosebleed levels of last summer.

Not radio host Ed Schultz. He's convinced that tree limbs over at the grassy knoll are actually a firing squad. Take a closer look, can't you see it?!

This being an election year and all, nefarious right-wing forces must be at work, at least according to Schultz. Here's what the Fargo, N.D.-based liberal talker told his listeners on Nov. 12 --

You know what's gonna happen? Gasoline's gonna be a buck 47 ($1.47) when Bush gets out of office. This has just been all so pre-arranged. Oil fell 5 percent to 56 bucks a barrel today. Wow. OPEC officials concerned about the oil's steep drop from record highs of $147 per barrel in July, said the cartel could possibly decide by the end of the month to cut production again to raise prices.
