I had to dust off the old blog because I couldn’t fit comments about this into a tweet.
“I’m ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday. I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown, in this case a $20 billion shakedown … I apologize.”
Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX)
A tragedy of the first proportion?
British Petroleum has probably killed a million inhabitants of the Gulf, destroyed the habitat of many more, and ruined a way of life for millions of Americans who live and work on the coast. This idiot can’t think of a greater tragedy than BP paying for the cleanup.
I’ll give it my best shot …
- Airplanes fly into the WTC and kill thousands
- An oil rig explodes in the Gulf of Mexico and spills millions of gallons of oil into the water
- This moron gets elected to the United States House of Representatives
I’ll stop there.
