New LCV ad: "The Fattest Wallet"

Big Oil has opened its big fat wallet to pay for a series of radio ads in key swing districts to spread distortions about the Waxman-Markey clean energy bill. Today our allies at the League of Conservation Voters has decided to fight back with a powerful ad of its own. The ad is running in three key swing districts and it takes Big Oil head on. The name of the ad says it all: The Fattest Wallet:

I've also included the text of the ad script below:

“This is the story of the fattest wallet in the world. The fattest wallet in the world has resided in the sagging back pocket of Big Oil for years. Then last year, Big Oil's wallet became even fatter than the fattest wallet in the world; it became the fattest wallet in the history of the world, as Big Oil made more money than any industry ever in the annals of recorded civilization. You know how it got that way. It got fat on your money. Unfortunately for you, Big Oil isn't satisfied. It's spreading lies about a new clean energy act and making plans to let out the sides of the wallet so it can jam in more of your cash. Don't let it. Call Congress at 202-225-3121 and tell lawmakers to say ‘no’ to Big Oil and ‘yes’ to the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which will mean cheaper, cleaner energy and millions of new jobs. Brought to you by the League of Conservation Voters.”
