The hapless Tony Howard refuses to recognize what experts in his field see--the large "plumes" of oil that remain below the surface but are killers of sea life just where they are. He is a character Monty Python would have made short time of. To his rescue came Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who accused the Obama Administration of gangsterism and actually apologized to Mr. Howard for his very rich company being required to set aside funds to reimburse Americans who have lost their livelihoods due to its shoddy performance. Trust a Republican congressman to step in it every time!
Sometimes we Democrats wonder if the GOBP-ers could possibly be as clueless as they seem, and today we got an answer: they are snake-bit--infected with a type of goddam ignorance that has no earthly cure.
