Jindal Lies While the Pelican Dies

[6079smithW]

Guess who had no contingency plan, at all, for a Gulf Oil Spill?

Wee-zee-ana, that's who.

So Jindal makes up some screwball, detail-free, "sand berm" plan at the last second, that'll probably make things worse, and then blames the evil Demon-crats for anything that goes badly thereafter!

Brilliant plan, really.

While most of us are oil addicts, LA is more deeply addicted than most.

We've all seen what happens when you try to take the drug away from the addict. Jindal doesn't think he can live without his drug.

Jindal is governor of one of the poorest and most badly educated states in the union, with wall-to-wall right-wing radio and not a single progressive radio station, a state that has over the past few decades come to be more and more dependent on Big Oil offshore drilling revenues to keep its people employed as manufacturing jobs were sent to China. Thus, Jindal must now share his bed with BP and Shell and Exxon-Mobil if he wants to politically survive.

Aah, yes......Bobby Jindal----a gatekeeper for the right-wing "Big Oil" cabal.

Tell you what, PADMA.....let's all join hands & "protest" the "addict" LA by not purchasing ANY of it's "drug" for one month.

Now bare in mind, PADMA, that this needs to include ALL of the elite leftists that YOU support---Gore, Clinton, Kerry, Rockefeller, Pelosi, Boxer, Obama, the Kennedy family, etc, etc, etc---who "rely" on the "drug" in order to "function" on a regular basis with their private jets....yachts...carbon footprint-crushing mansions & beachfront vacation homes....gas-guzzling limousines....and all their other "business necessities".

All in the name of.....BOBBY JINDAL!

The stunning thing, PADMA, is that like many idealogues on the left, you're not even the LEAST bit embarrassed by your terminal hypocrisy.

On second thought......why should anyone be stunned anymore? You've displayed it as an intellectual COMPASS.

Credible link, see-voo-play.

Does the BO administration get any criticism from you about not answering Governor Jindal's multiple requests for the berm permits?
Just another one of the many opportunities I've given you over the years to show you have a molecule of credibility, even amidst all that hyperpartisan thought process.

It is amazing that Bobby Jindal wants to rush back to "deep water drilling" yet all the facts aren't in on the present "gusher."

So what does Bobby do if another one blows out? He can always stand on a boat and complain he's not getting enough help from the Government.

Seeing that BO rushed to get billions from BP for the disaster, the facts ought to seem pretty sufficient by now. Negligence is what led to this. BP and MMS officials are to blame, not the fact drilling was happening.

With the rarity of disasters like this, why would any reasonable person want to shut down? Deadly car accidents happen very frequently, yet we don't stop driving. Teachers prey on kids all too often, yet we still send them to school.

So wouldn't it be a good idea to gather more information (regarding the existing spill) and check-out other wells in an orderly fashion to make sure they are compliant?

A better idea: let the oil companies' workers keep working, investigate the MMS, and assume that crooked execs who sidestep safety measures are the exception, not the rule (which is accurate).

Perhaps you might gather some information on which person has spent more time talking than doing: BO or Governor Jindal.

[ScottT]

Umm......how 'bout drilling in 300 feet of water instead of 5,000? Or in a place like Anwar??

Just a guess.....but a leak would be a whole lot more repairable. Don't you think?

obama took the most money form oil, in fact british petroleum i think. progressive radio isn't profitable, which i find deliciously ironic. i'm not quite clear on "do you like jindal more or less or about the same as "schoolbus nagan"." http://wizbangblog.com/content/2005/10/ ... oded-n.php

Keep drinking the Kool-aid, and pretending that the Feds have "failed to act" on Jindal's poorly considered, rough-sketch, 3-page "plan" (only devised AFTER the spill) to build berms, even though, in fact, the Feds have acted.

Ignore the fact that the feds have acted promptly, while Jindal sits on 5/6 of the National Guard troops that the Pentagon gave him.

Ignore all the other unpleasant facts that help explain why Jindal is so desperate to point the finger of blame:

But even Haley Barbour says that the Obama Administration has done more right than wrong.

Well at least Obama has two fans left! If you missed the critizism from his hardened lefty commentators about his command and control, here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp-_u2e3rCM

Another great article below on Obama's command and control:

It seems like everyone on earth wants to skim oil with some even bucking the system to get it down.

That's commentary on a SPEECH, not what you said.

That's commentary on the COAST GUARD, not what you said.

As I recall, Obama has already replaced one Coast Guard commander down there, maybe he needs to replace another.

So what if it happens again? It's obvious deep water drilling is "risky" why gamble now before a full investigation is conducted?

The only one on Kool-Aid here is you, Smith. You have yet to admit that BO has done anything poorly here, which he absolutely has.

And citing one Republican doesn't suddenly show you've made a point. It only shows that Republicans still show far more class towards democrats than the latter are capable of.
I could play your game and name a certain bald, liberal Louisiana native who showed absolute disgust with BO's lazy non-response, but even you aren't so blind to have missed that. Doesn't matter. The precious few people who actually approve of his performance suffer from LHBD (Liberal Hyperpartisan Brain-Death).

For Pete's sake try to be honest for once, and I'm still waiting for proof that Governor Jindal is a liar.

If you somehow pass that test, I might challenge you sometime to prove that BO isn't a bigger liar than Clinton.
