"When the Oil Platform Exploded, Rick Perry Went to Work -- Defending BP

Rick Perry's first instinct after the oil rig explosion in the Gulf was not to express sympathy for the families who lost loved ones or work to find the cause of the disaster that threatens hundreds of miles of American coastline. Instead, Rick Perry defended the company responsible for the operation of the oil rig. First, Perry oddly invoked the term “act of God” to rhetorically and legally shield BP. Then, Perry praised the company’s safety record despite its many high profile safety failures.

Watch the Lone Star Project video below that details the close relationship between BP and Rick Perry."

1. Oh, Governor Goodhair, I so do not miss you

There are many things I do not miss about Texas and you are certainly one of them. That and the whole of the 'lege, as Molly used to call 'em. God, what a lot of fools in a very small room.

Edited to add: Really, Ricky, you have no clue about this God of which you speak, so I really don't think you need to be telling us which fuck ups are his.............

4. I wonder what

BP will consider "adequate" if any, compensation the 11 dead employees families will receive? Maybe they (or whichever bloodsucking corporation) had "dead peasant" insurance on them.

5. I've never been to Texas...

...and I don't want to go. Considering the kind of people Texans put in office, the majority of the populace must be jerks.

6. having a bad day

Is he saying God was having a bad day, thus the oil spill? Perry's an idiot.
