Have ex-Presidents Bush made any public comments about the Gulf catastrophe
I watch a lot of cable news and read some on the internet. It just occurred to me that I haven't heard any comments about the BP 'spill' from either ex-Prez Bush. Or ex-Prez Bill Clinton.

Tell me I'm wrong, please.

2. The Onion did a great story on Papa Bush crying over the Exxon Valdez spill...
and saying it was a tragic loss of precious, precious oil.

I suspect the Tard King, Baby Bush would have the same take on it.

3. You're probably right...none of the repukes will say anything because they'er culpable...
the Dems-Clinton and Carter-won't say anything out of deference to Obama...that is standard protocol...although one might think that no longer applies with Cheney spewing shit from his mouth every 5 minutes.

11. For that matter, Dick Cheney has been suspiciously quiet.
He set this whole thing in motion back in 2001 and now that those actions 'spilled the milk' he's not around for the aftermath.

Although his daughter Liz is going around parroting to the media as usual.
