Lately, I’ve become outraged that the myopic and rabidly right-wing socio-political sector has taken so little punishment for its earlier and oft-quoted cry for irresponsible, runaway corporate greed as embodied in its aggressive demand to “Drill, Baby, Drill!”
Now that same body of near-sighted running dogs for the corporate oligarchs has conveniently forgotten that such blind adherence to a policy of oil at any cost is largely responsible for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, its adherents have sought to make this a test of the Obama administration’s competence to lead the nation, all the while hoping that the rest of us will not take the trouble to notice the blatant hypocrisy implicit in their criticism.
But I think they deserve to get a little more of a spanking than they’ve received up to this point. I think that Keith Olberman should end each of his nightly broadcasts not with a reminder of how many days have passed since BP’s huge debacle started polluting the world, but with a short video clip of Sarah Palin proudly and defiantly chanting “Drill, Baby, Drill!”
The right-wing apologists for corporate carelessness and enviro-terrorism need to be reminded on a regular basis where the blame really lies for the BP fiasco.
They are, after all, a forgetful lot.
