The only reason I can think of that Cheney and Rove haven’t been prosecuted — Cheney for unconstitutionally approving torture, at the least, and Rove for perjury in Valerie Plame’s outing and what he did to Don Siegelman in Alabama — is that these characters have something on anyone who might be in a position to put them behind bars, possibly including Obama. I have no doubt they misused their offices, and the resources of the FBI and CIA, to compile, like J. Edgar Hoover and their hero Nixon, secret files on their potential enemies. Nothing else makes sense, especially with Cheney brazenly and publicly admitting he violated the law.

You’re absolutely correct, RS. A $500,000 blow-out device would have prevented all this misery. Mike Malloy had an attorney on his show tonight who will be part of the legal team filing a class action suit against BP for this, and he mentioned that. The deregulation that allowed that can be traced back to Cheney’s secretive energy conference in 2001. That evil sonofabitch should spend the rest of his life in prison for this alone, not to mention all the other misery he has caused millions of people.

I just talked to a friend who lives in NOLA. She says there are microscopic oil droplets in the air and it’s making people sick. She’s trying to stay indoors in her air conditioned apt. as much as possible to avoid the ‘oil mist flu.’ An unintended consequence of this massive oil spill the Big Media haven’t mentioned. They also aren’t talking about the shrimp crop that’s been devastated — if you eat shrimp, the price is about to go through the roof and most of the shrimpers will likely go out of business this year, adding to the misery and unemployment in the Gulf. And all of this because the obscenely profitable BP didn’t spend a half-million on some basic undersea oil equipment they use elsewhere in the world.
