Breaking news: someone in the loathsome vortex of Congress actually says something intelligent. Here's what BP is currently contending:
BP is warning Congress that if lawmakers pass legislation that bars the company from getting new offshore drilling permits, it may not have the money to pay for all the damages caused by its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico."
Here's what Rep. George Miller's chief of staff has to say about that:
“The risk of having a dangerous company like BP develop new resources in the gulf is too great,” said Daniel Weiss. “Year after year after year, no matter how many incidents they’re involved in, no matter how many fines they’ve had to pay, they never changed their behavior. BP has no one to blame but themselves.”
Zing!
