The BP oil spill - millions of gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, coastal businesses from Houston to Tampa shuttered, the potential for higher energy costs across the country and untold ecological damage. But according to Mother Jones magazine's David Corn, there is a silver-lining in all of this - that is, if you're a Democrat.
MSNBC's June 21 "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" deviated from its usual efforts to blame the previous administration for the oil spill and instead gave thanks that the spill led to Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, apologizing to BP CEO Tony Hayward in a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing.
"I think it's every single Democrat in America - they're saying, ‘Joe Barton, you go for it,'" Corn said. "You keep that ranking member position. Don't - you know, stick to your guns. I mean, after all, I mean, you made this point, I've written about this, others have made this point - It wasn't a gaffe. Joe Barton said what he believed."

Mother Jones? David Corn?
Hahahahahaha...talk about irrelevant...outside of three commies on the West Side huddled in a basement, does anyone pay attention to Ma Jones or Cornholio?
A mindset made of idiocy...Dems are burnt toast come November barring any miracle.
Exactly. This is the best they can do?

The only reason this may be true is because the MSM is an arm of the Obama administration. Just ask Mika Brzezinski.
I’d like to see David Corn try to excuse the deal Barry helped BP do that resulted in the release of the Lockerbie bomber...
Wow, the Left is truly desperate spinning it this way but I am not surprised. They are grasping at straws.

Hopefully, but never underestimate the wired-in loyalty of the parasitic, dead-assed entitlement crowd...now in the neighborhood of dangerous majority status.
She’s wrong about the Podesta Group. That’s run by his brother Tony.
Hmmm so they have a vested interested in see it go on and on...like we ARE seeing...
As the Democrats ramp up their attacks on the GOP for being lapdogs to BP and rapists of the environment, the response from Republican leaders will likely be, "Gee...we're sorry. Who can we apologize to?"
I would like to see the results of a poll on who should distribute compensation to Gulf residents damaged by the spill: BP or the Obama Administration. I imagine the results might suprise Dems.
