"Get Friendly" with the Oil Companies

Today, with chatrooms, IM's and text messages, "to socialize" means to hang out, so when a dolt like Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters flubs the multisyllabic verb and threatens "to take over" oil companies, it really doesn't raise too many plucked eyebrows.
“And guess what this member would be all about? This member would be all about socializing — er, uh. [Pauses for several moments] …. would be about … [pause] … basically … taking over, and the government running all of your companies.”
It's fascinating to see Congress complain about the oil companies. Exxon, Mobile, BP, at the very least, provide a product. I'm really not sure what the representative from Southern California does when her fingers are not tracing the words in a Hooked on Phonics lesson, but I doubt Ms. Waters could run a hotdog stand, much less pump gas.
Rush Limbaugh explains the levity of the threat, while giving a recommendation.
Of course, you don't see this story on any of the big three networks.
