President
Obama has declared the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico a national disaster and
Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal initiated a state of emergency, calling for
urgent help to prevent fragile wetlands and vital fishing communities along the
coast from pollution on a massive scale.
While
there's not yet any indication as to what caused the disastrous explosion that
sunk a British Petroleum drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico, right-wing
radio personality Rush Limbaugh has come up with a rather coy suggestion:
"environmentalist wackos" did it.
Noting
that the explosion happened on Earth Day, Limbaugh at times known as the Republican
Party’s true leader hyped the coincidence in which "the jury was still
out," but ‘the regime’ will let everyone know what really went down.
On
Thursday HBO's Bill Maher Tweeted,
"Every asshole who ever chanted 'Drill baby drill' should have to report
to the Gulf coast today for cleanup duty."
