Editorial: Hey BP, F**K YOU!

From the NY Times:

BP’s new chief executive said Monday that its rivals and the media had helped cause a climate of fear during the summer when the oil giant’s blown-out Gulf of Mexico well caused the worst ever oil spill in the United States.

I like the sentence above. This WAS the worst ever oil spill in the U.S....EVER. So if the public wants to be fearful, if fisherman along the Gulf Coast want this foreign oil giant to be appropriately contrite and if environmentalists and people who just generally care about stuff want to be pissed off, I think it's properly warranted here.

I love how BP went for the Sarah Palin counterattack of blaming their own stupidity and malfeasance on the "media."

Anyway, I'm outraged by this. Not because I oppose offshore drilling (I do), but because when you f**k something up so royally that it can be called the "worst ever" of anything, you need to suck it up and just admit that you're the asshole, not everyone else.
