Massey CEO Lashes Out at ‘Evil’ Critics (Like Obama, Unions, Rockefeller)
By Mike Lillis 5/4/10 10:29 AM


Don Blankenship has never been accused of being genteel. Still, you’d think that even the pugnacious CEO of Massey Energy would recognize the disadvantages inherent in attacking the very policymakers who are weighing ways to reform the industry in the wake of last month’s deadly blast at the Upper Big Branch Mine, a Massey-owned project in southern West Virginia.

Yet as The Charleston Daily Mail reports today, that isn’t the case. Instead, Blankenship was found over the weekend attacking the critics of Massey’s long and damning safety record, including Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), who had called the company a “rogue” operator in the immediate wake of the tragedy.



That wasn’t all. Blankenship also went after President Obama — for seeking counsel from “the union element” — and United Mine Workers President Cecil Roberts for his “political agenda.”

“Cecil has no more idea what happened at UBB than I do,” Blankenship said.

In Blankenship’s defense, at least we know exactly where he stands.

Use him as a canary in his mines.

Laughable. But not surprising. Greedy corporate bastards, they are all the same...even when it comes to human lives.

the whole bushcheneymccain crowd.

“I think about how evil people can be and how misplaced their priorities can be and unfortunate it is that people that can reach the level of senator or president or representative or head of the unionCEO — how wrong they can be,” Blankenship said. “But I’ve seen a lot of it over my time.”

he has richly earned it
