Political Lipskip

Tomorrow The U.S. Congress Will Embarass the Nation As it Verbally Executes BP CEO

Tomorrow begins the greatest display of political theater we will have ever seen as a nation. Congressmen are set to publicly humiliate and verbally execute BP CEO Tony Hayward. Never mind that this could and should be a civil and forceful questioning to better understand what went wrong and how BP plans on fixing the problem. No, Republicans and Democrats both want to prove they are on top of the situation. One asshat from Louisiana, RINO Rep. Joseph Cao, said

“During the Samurai days, we’d just give you the knife and ask you to commit hari-kari.”

This is a United States representative. Suggesting that this man Hayward kill himself. It is vile. I have no use for BP. They should simply make right what they broke. But this kind of public flogging should be beneath the dignity and honor of the United States. But it’s not.

The abortion traitor Bart Stupak said:

“I expect him to be sliced and diced.”

That’s nice representative. I expected you to vote with honor during the health care debacle but you did not.

Congressman Dingell said:

“He’s going to have, if I’m any judge of the committee and the temperament of the members, a very unpleasant afternoon.”

It seems as if these members want to put on a show to see how badass each one can be. After watching these congressmen completely dismantle any semblance of constitution law I really have no use for what they are going to say to Hayward. I wager that nothing they say tomorrow will do anything positive for the people in living and working at the Gulf. It is simply political theater. hayward will be prepared. I doubt he will be fazed.

Hayward has said he’s got thick enough skin to handle the verbal assaults.

“I’m so far unscathed,” he told analysts in a recent conference call, referring to the general criticism he’s received. “No one has actually physically harmed me. They’ve thrown some words at me. But I’m a Brit, so sticks and stones can hurt your bones but words never break them, or whatever the expression is.”

What we are seeing is the failure of big government. All they can do is talk and set up commissions (think community organizing). They can blather on tomorrow and give BP hell. Whatever. It won’t be impressive. It won’t be dignified. It won’t plug the leak. And it won’t clean up the Gulf.

The government should be using all resources offered and available. But no, the layers of bureaucracy have turned this into a horrible mess. From forcing drilling out into 1 mile deep water to not being responsive to the cleanup. Slice and dice Hayward all you want but take a look in the mirror at your smug face tomorrow night, Congressman, to see where the real blame lies.
