OT, but Someone Wrote: "Try describing the many images of the oil leaking
from the Deepwater Horizon
in a 5 minute radio newscast, if you can find one.
Last I knew, there is still an FCC rule that forbids the transmission of
'false or deceptive' information over the airwaves."

timing, here." -Rush Limbaugh, suggesting that
"environmentalist whackos" deliberately blew up the oil rig
in the Gulf of Mexico in order to stop offshore drilling,
April 29, 2010
4. "Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice
to meet our country's energy needs, but your protests and
lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling
have locked up safer areas. It's catching up with you. The
tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it."
-Sarah Palin, blaming the Gulf oil spill disaster on
"extreme environmentalists," Facebook message, June 2, 2010

this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP. I
think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of

the spill. And I think it's part of this sort of blame-game
society in the sense that it's always got to be someone's
fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen."

Republican Senate primary in Kentucky, May 21, 2010
