SPILL BABY SPILL

News Item: Oil Rig Sinks, Raising Fears of Major Spill & Signifigant Enviornmental Damage.

They say timing is everything.

As thick, black, poisonous crude oil, flows unabated, out of a man made hole deep in the ocean floor, the only thing flowing from the party of drill baby drill is an eerie silence. Shame on them for always putting the interests of big oil and corporate profits ahead of the public interest in protecting our environment. Shame on them for lying to us by telling us that drilling was environmentally safe. For the republicans, this is nothing new but for democrats it is uncharted territory.

I wonder if The President now regrets his decision reversing long standing Democratic opposition to offshore drilling. It was an opposition based upon the understanding that it only takes one major accident to foul our oceans and devastate our environment in ways that we may never fully understand or recover from.

While The President has been right on almost every issue to come across his desk, he was wrong on this one. No one bats 1000.

But the absolute poster child for drilling in environmentally sensitive areas has got to be Sarah Palin, who, it is rumored, has now changed her campaign slogan to SPILL BABY SPILL!

Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
