The Republicans' silence on the BP spill is deafening.

Has anyone other than Rand Paul or Bobby Jindal said anything?

1. A Republican group that wants to limit BP's liability to the FIRST 5 DAYS!

Lead by the woman from Alaska, the other one.

4. Yes, the group of Reps led by Sen. Lisa Murkowski says BP shouldn't have to pay for the cleanup.

7. Poor, beleaguered BP

I'm so glad they have someone looking out for their interests, trying to limit the damage to their bottom line. Such noble, dare I say, Christian, charity being extended to a multi-national corporation that barely scrapes out a dime scrabbling for oil from the harsh and unforgiving earth. Can we not find it in our hearts to let them off the hook for this unavoidable, no-one-could-have-predicted-it mishap? It coulda happened to anyone!

9. Oh, you hard-hearted libruls!

Don't you have the least amount of compassion for the executives at BP? Some of them can barely finish their third luncheon gin and tonic at the club nowadays! I even heard one of them was considering cutting back to one manicure a week! What sort of monsters are you that you can just let this go on?
