Appearing on the Situation Room today, conservative pundit Mary Matalin insisted on opening more U.S. land, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to oil drilling, claiming that the U.S. is “the only nation” impeding efforts at more drilling.

Watch it:
Last week, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) was so furious at his party’s false statements about drilling that he took to the Senate floor to decry the “fabricated China/Cuba connection” that he said “has no merit.”
