Angle’s ‘Slush Fund’ Becomes ‘Important First Step’

Wingnuts • Views: 2,940

Remember earlier today when Sharron Angle was quoted calling the $20 billion BP escrow fund a “slush fund?”

Well, what she really meant to say was that it’s an important first step.

Which is a little like a slush fund, isn’t it? Kinda?

There’s been some confusion this morning regarding my position on BP and the oil spill.

Having had some time to think about it, the caller and I shouldn’t have used the term “slush fund”; that was incorrect.

My position is that the creation of this fund to compensate victims was an important first step— BP caused this disaster and they should pay for it. But there are multiple parties at fault here and there should be a thorough investigation. We need to look into the actions, (or inactions) of the Administration and why the regulatory agency in charge of oversight was asleep at the wheel while BP was cutting corners. Every party involved should be held fully accountable.
