There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

Dick Polman:

When word got around yesterday afternoon that BP had indeed agreed to establish a $20-billion escrow redemption fund, I knew it was only a matter of hours before Obama’s critics jerked their knees anew, and declared that the president (whom they had previously condemned for not being tough enough during the oil spill crisis) was now being too tough, especially in his attitude toward poor old BP. So I started the countdown. Three, two, one…sure enough, there it was: an email blast, late in the day, from the House conservatives who call themselves the Republican Study Committee. Who better to defend the worst environmental despoilers in the nation’s history, and paint BP as the victim of presidential thuggery?

Their gall no longer surprises, but it still appalls.

Addendum:

The Richmonder weighs in.

Addendum-Dee-Dum-Dum:

Steve Benen:

We talked earlier about the lengths Republicans are going to side with BP, despite the oil giant’s role in the worst environmental disaster in American history. I argued that the GOP is approaching the point at which Dems will reasonably be able to argue that Republicans are siding with BP over the country.

(snip)

I just never thought I’d see the day when a leading Republican publicly groveled to a foreign CEO, who just happens to be leading a company responsible for a devastating oil spill disaster.
