Transcript of interview on CNN

Right now, there's no oil within 50 miles of the Mississippi. Eighty percent of the oil slick, as it's called and appropriately -- 80 percent is literally just sheen or film right on top of -- on top of the water. That is not toxic. It's not particularly damaging.

[MNJohnnie]

Thank you. I’ve linked to this interview in a couple of other threads but it seems that folks from both sides desperately want catastrophe to use as a club against the other side.

I haven’t forgotten the media telling us that they were eating each other in New Orleans.

[VeniVidiVici]

Wow. Common sense commentary from a politician.

[cripplecreek]

The sad thing is that many FReepers have morphed into New Orleans democrats too busy looking for someone to blame to bother taking a clear look at the situation.
