Summary: An announcer praises Landrieu for opening up land for offshore drilling -- a move he says her "confused" opponent has rejected.
Script of "Oil" (TV)
(Text on screen: U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu; Fighting and Winning for Louisiana!)
MARY LANDRIEU [v/o]: I'm Mary Landrieu, and I approve this message.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: To free America from Mideast oil and to lower gas prices, Mary Landrieu opened up 8 million acres for new drilling in the Gulf.
(Text on screen: Landrieu law "opens 8.2 million new acres in the Gulf of Mexico to oil and natural gas drilling" -- Monroe News-Star -- 12/21/06)
Now she's uniting both parties with a plan to expand domestic drilling and develop alternative energy.
John Kennedy? He opposes her plan to open up 120 million acres for drilling.
Under Kennedy: no new oil, higher gas prices, lost Louisiana jobs. Now that's one confused politician.
