The oil's still "out there"; the levees still suck; the Obama administration still hasn't found its inner Embeds. (Sigh.)
First Keith, then comments:
Cripes, is this segment loaded or what? Here's just a taste of what we learn:
- There's at least one plume 22 miles long, more than one mile wide, and 3000 feet below the surface. It's degrading only slowly in the cold water. I'm willing to bet it has friends.
- The government's own report is being called into question. Senator Markey: NOAA released an overly optimistic report that sends a wrong "signal in regard to how much of the problem remains."
Cui bono? (That's Latin for "BP keeps the change and a hefty tip.") - So who does the gov't work for in this matter? Who is our government's client? We know that at Interior, Secretary Salazar sees Norwegian oil giant Statoil as his client. (Click the link and search on Statiol. The Salazar quote is stark, startling.)
- As to the levees, catch what Corps of Engineers whistleblower Maria Garzino says about the hydraulic pumps. What's that song? The pumps don't work 'cause the vandals took the government captive. Yeah, that's the one.
Is Obama a captive? And if so, of whom, his Embeds or his campaign contributors? - Finally, note Harry Shearer at 5:10 in the clip. (He says it better than I could.)
