Florida congressman Connie Mack criticized Joe Kennedy, not for utilizing Venezuelan oil, but for praising Hugo Chávez in the process. Kennedy's response:

Once we've followed the Mack Doctrine and refused oil from every country that fails to meet our disciplined moral standards, I'm sure you'll enjoy your walks to Washington, because there certainly won't be fuel to fly you there...

I hope Joe Kennedy is being disingenuous to preserve his entrenched position. The alternative would be that he doesn't understand the difference.
