From the VOMITORIUM
By now ALL Americans know the cost, the suffering and the BS that goes along with the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico….lives along the Coast will be screwed for many years to come, especially the fishermen, shrimpers and oystermen in Louisiana…….and in the past I have written about the Rational Ignorance Effect (RIE) (Go to my pages for a definition)….the reason I bring this up is to illustrate just how stupid the voter can be….why would I make such an outlandish statement? Easy! IT IS TRUE!
One of Louisiana’s reps, David Vitter, you will remember him from his involvement with the DC Madame case, has put his foot in his Post Toasties……
a GOP senator facing re-election to court a conservative base he alienated by cavorting with DC prostitutes: Push to limit the liability of a company that just delivered what may be his state’s worst-ever man-made disaster. That’s what Louisiana’s David Vitter is doing: Last week Vitter introduced legislation to cap BP’s liability for the Gulf oil spill at the last four quarters of the company’s profits, Time reports. Vitter also says the state needs more offshore drilling leases—no surprise to those familiar with bring-home-the-bacon Louisiana politics. Even Vitter’s Democratic opponent supports expanded drilling in the wake of the spill. Louisiana Dems are, however, definitely not with Vitter on the BP liability cap, and have taken the issue as a chance to pound him for trying to limit the damages his own constituents might claim from the oil giant.
I bring this to people’s attention because he will most likely get re-elected even though he is trying to screw his fellow state residents out of justice from the oil company, BP…..you can bet that he, Vitter, will once again return to the Senate to be a voice of the people of Louisiana….if that ain’t stupid I will kiss your butt and give you an hour to draw a crowd!
