HALLIBURTON employee: "I LOVE these gas prices! Higher the better!"

[Bluebear]

`I love these prices. The higher, the better,'' said Frank Gafke, of Galveston, a senior service leader for Halliburton on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Gafke said Halliburton's profits - and his savings account - had increased markedly since fuel prices began rising. He predicted that prices soon will reach $3 per gallon for automobile drivers, as well as for recreational boaters.

And, he said, relief at the pump probably won't come anytime soon.

``Oil just hit $66 per barrel and gas jumped up 6 cents,'' Gafke said. ``And if we take any action against Iran, that's only going to cause more price increases. But if you can afford the boat, it doesn't matter what gas costs.''

1. Then raise the price of gas for boats to $6.00 per gallon...

If those guys don't give a shit and want to blow the money then more power to them. Meanwhile the rest of us get RAPED just trying to drive on a daily basis--something we HAVE to do.

BTW,FUCK THAT ASSHOLE AT HALLIBURTON!!

2. I bet oil executives are saying the same

just not to reporters. So nice that we gave them so much money in that recent energy bill. What a farce! Poor little companies making extra billions in profit.

So F congress too.

6. These people are filthy rich

they don't care about gasoline prices because they can afford it.

14. Then they smirk & laugh & say "can't afford it? Don't drive libby!"

Ha ha ha ha. :crazy:

Sadistic bastards.

9. Recharged, good as new!

It was actually good to let the brain go out of outrage mode :) Thank you.

8. This attitude just pisses me off.

Here we are in California, and we can't afford a boat, we have a fuel efficient Echo, and we're still getting raped at the pump.

I mean, geez, Halliburton isn't even buying me dinner, and they're fucking me like this? I am not impressed.

12. Sounds Enronish to me.

Aaah, poor granny.

13. You beat me to it...

I was going to say that sounded like a line from one of Enron's energy traders that was echoed again in the "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"... All of them look to be aspiring "Economic Hit Men" that Jack Perkins has told us about so well! SCUM!

10. UH....could someone please, please, please, please

post this over at "the inside of Satan's asshole," so I can see how the freepers react? This is pretty blatant. I'd like to send anyone who attempts to rationalize this a "how's it feel to be a sheep with Cheney's dick in your ass, you brainless puke of a piece of human capital?," e-mail. Thanks, in advance.
