For your benefit, a summary.
- “I’m going to fight the oil! Call out the national guard! Fight, fight, fight! Oo-rah!”
- “It’s Bush’s fault!”
- “Pass Cap and Trade—er, I mean, the new clean energy proposal that will wean us from our dependence on dirty, dirty oil that is fouling the Gulf!”
- “Bad BP! Evil BP! BP must pay! (Please don’t mention that I am the top recipient of BP money over the past 20years) I’m going to talk to the CEO tomorrow (since you all got mad that I haven’t talked to him yet) and make him pay, the rotten corporate greedy evil bastard!”
- “Have I mentioned alternative energy yet? Oh, yeah—no more drilling!”
- “It’s Bush’s fault!”
