<<Laurie David, wife of comedian Lary David, fulminates against the Bush Administration pandering to the energy industry in today's Los Angeles Times. Precidely how she would fuel her private jet for flights to New York, in the absence of the evil oil giants, remains a mystery only she can explain.>>

Here is an extremely simple example of "extension" distortion.

She is fulminating against the pandering, not against the industry. No mystery involved unless you distort/exaggerate. Obviously she has use for the oil industry. Makes a great gag, but it's it not cognitively sound.
