How do these people get elected?

Just saw a news item on Drudge. Seems one of our esteemed New York politicians has suggested that we buy foreign ethanol to add to our gasoline.

Hey Chuckie... pay attention it's foreign oil that's got us by the gas now. Isn't it kind of odd that the governor just announced a new ethanol plant IN the state of New York? Shouldn't we be buying our ethanol from the corn produced by the hard working farmers in THIS state?

How does this guy keep getting elected?
