Maybe in retrospect, allowing BP to forego installing a shut-off valve effective in deep water wasn't such a stellar idea.

Dick Cheney's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Kate Dailey
Poor Dick Cheney. Ever since George W. Bush's presidential term ended, all the former veep has wanted to do is spend some time at home, kick back with his grandchildren, and publicly criticize and undermine the authority of our current commander in chief as often as possible.
And yet, it seems that no matter what he does, he can't stay out of the headlines. Specifically, the terrifying and tragic headlines dominating today's news. First, Alex Pareene at Salon's War Room notes that the giant, toxic, seemingly unstoppable oil spill headed toward the fragile and vulnerable Gulf Coast could be construed as kind of Cheney's fault.

I agree completely with this, well, except you need to delete the last word.

I take it you didn't read the article. How utterly surprising.

Oh goodie. Now we'll bash the poster who read an utterly worthless blog posting bashing Cheney and then had the audacity to point out the Left is about to work itself up into another masturbatory frenzy of Cheney bashing egged on by a blog posting.
This administration is facing multiple and difficult challenges and the Left diverts, diverts, diverts. The Left is ugly and predictable.

Then dispute the facts, or am I repeating myself?

I truly believe that the amount of destruction this one man has brought down on the U.S. and the rest of the world will be coming to light for decades to come.....and much of it may never be known. This is an evil man.

Why not link to the original source instead of directing us to a partisan blog?
Leaking Oil Well Lacked Safeguard Device - WSJ.com
Before anyone goes any further, these switches have been around for decades and to quote the article....
"U.S. regulators have considered mandating the use of remote-control acoustic switches or other back-up equipment at least since 2000."
So essentially, both the democrats and republicans have had plenty of time to make these switches (which are not certain to have worked in this case) mandatory and haven't.
What a dishonest post. But hey, whatever it takes to make your party look environmentally responsible.

I just did.
What's sad is that you didn't go to first source, you went to a partisan blog. Egads, that's actually a step worse than being a Faux News-er.
Basically, you just went Glen Beck on us...a show that makes me want to vomit in my mouth.  Congratulations on helping lower the bar.

Reading is hard and a waste of time. Just stick to blogs and what your friends tell you. Don't worry though, it's ok, that's what the faux news people do.  Really, you can see how moronic the unthinking extreme is of the opposition? Get out a mirror.
