Tornoe’s Toon: Carper Hearts Big Oil
Memo to Tom Carper: Asking tough questions of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar about the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico does not suddenly make you a tree-hugging hippie on the subject.
As a ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, wasn’t it your responsibility to ask these questions BEFORE anything terrible like the BP oil spill happened?
If we had it Carper’s way, we could have had oil rigs off the coast of Delaware. On this issue, he’s to the right of Republican Governor Chris Christie.

Unlike his love affair with Wall Street bankers, which he openly flaunts in our faces.
Carpers a Bankster, he’s just doing the Drill Baby on the side.
And Hey Tornoe! Whats with all the hair on the DINO?
What IS up with that hair, Rob!
I was going to write a post about this hearing yesterday but there’s too much contradictory reporting –I don’t know where to start.
Obama refuses send his MM staffers to testify but he claims to be on top of the disaster?
And all Joe Lieberman can do is bite his fingernails over it – you have subpeona power Mr. Lieberman –force those department staffers to come before you.
Then it looks like Obama is yelling at the GOP for resisting lifting the liability cap
But the next thing you know, ‘Obama breaks with his party on issue of oil spill liability caps’ and is critical of DEMs for scrutinizing Salazar’s defense of the GOP position. Which is it Mr. President?
