The median voter theorem, in action

Whoops:

Steven Chu, the Nobel laureate scientist who is President-elect Obama’s choice to be energy secretary, said in testimony prepared for his Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday that high oil prices were a threat to the economy, backing away slightly from statements made in his last job, as director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, that gasoline prices should be higher.

Here is the story.  Technically speaking, all of his words are correct and do not contradict each other.  Still, if he can't get appointed for favoring higher gas prices, and in a honeymoon period at that…well…you see where this is headed.
