"I pwomise you, we’ll make that big ole BP pay a lot of money, OK? Billions of dollars, I pwomise you. We’re going to have a big cleanup job and it’s going to get cleaned up, all right?" said Landrieu.

[Newest Reality]

1. Death penalty and/or life imprisonment, plus penalties

for ALL BP executives according to their involvement. That's the only just result considering the gravity of negligence and its ongoing, long-term impact.

I say that easily even though I am not an advocate of corporal punishment in most cases.

2. Pull those kids in and smile for the camera.

Well, wasn't that just a fine little puke-inducing display of self-promotion?

5. That was my reaction too. n/t

3. How can she promise a cleanup?

She doesn't even know if the oil volcano can be stopped!

4. I have several infants/toddlers in my immediate family circle and another

on the way. "Baby talk" is discouraged when vocalizing to our young ones. Yes, we do have fun with them and amuse them, but we talk to them normally.

6. the words "clean up" are really not applicable in this thing--

"salvage" maybe..."restitution" maybe

But "clean-up"--implies something really can be done to FIX it. Not that they shouldn't do whatever can be done safely. But it's basically a lie. Americans buy the line that they can fix anything. A whole ecosystem can't really be fixed. It's a long-term recovery process. Years and Years.
