I also heard Sally Quinn blames Bush for the Gore's divorce. Seems that since
the 2000 election the Gores just haven't been the same. Instead of a tragic
death, it ends in divorce.

*Nobody* knows how to fix this disaster. Given that there
were no plans for dealing with it beforehand, BP's doing
as well as anybody else could, trying one thing after
another. It's a tremendously complicated problem to shut
off the oil flow, much more so than most people realize.

They're in a heap o' trouble as it is. It's beginning to
look as though BP's American subsidiary may not survive
(she said hopefully).
It should be noted that the reason they were able to get
away with the laxity that brought about the blowout was
that under Bush, the MMS, the agency that's supposed to
supervise and regulate the oil drilling industry, had
become an arm of the industry. And when Obama took office,
reforming the agency was not at the top of his list of
priorities.
So it isn't *just* BP that's to blame here.
