Foot in Mouth Disease: The GOP is berating Obama for making BP pay for its mess and claim it will become a political slush fund. The Republican Study Committee called it “Chicago-style shakedown politics”. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) claims it is “a redistribution-of-wealth fund.” and encouraged BP to tell the administration " We're not going to be chumps, and we're not going to be fleeced." Joe Barton (R-TX) called it “a shakedown” and apologized to BP for the White House's behavior. And Haley Barbour, Republican Governor of Mississippi – who keeps telling folks to “come on down, the beaches are fine” - thinks escrowing the money will “make it less likely that they (BP) will pay for everything. They need their capital to drill wells. They need their capital to produce income.” So do your citizens, governor.
