you read it here first, let's hope it doesn't take 27 years to haul jindal off to the pen like it did eddie price, where's the fbi when you need 'em? 2010-12-17 - 10:11 a.m. In June, I left this post: The Death of Holly Beach, where I vented because top thief and so-called governor Bobby Jindal was using the oil spill as cover to steal millions of dollars while uselessly moving sand around. He'll never go to prison for his crimes, but at least a bi-partisan panel has finally squeaked up about his activities. From yesterday's Yahoo News: Panel: Jindal sand berm project was a colossal waste of time and money For months, critics of Louisiana GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal's BP-funded $360 million sand berm project have blasted the effort as a tragic misuse of time and resources. They charged that the governor and his lead advisers could have undertaken scores of other projects that would have been far more beneficial to the damaged Gulf and the inhabitants of its coast. Some have even charged that the plan was nothing more than a multi-million dollar kickback for the governor's supporters. "The only reason those sand berms are still being built is because Bobby Jindal has supporters he needs to pay back," a current Louisiana officeholder, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of ongoing dealings with the Jindal administration, told Yahoo News back in October. "It's that simple ... follow the money. The people making money off this thing are people that gave money to Jindal." As one might expect, the Jindal camp took vigorous issue with that complaint -- as well as the more general broadsides from the scientific community pointing out the inefficiency of the berms as a means of containing damage from the enormous spill. Now, however, the independent commission appointed by President Obama to investigate the oil spill has chimed in as well. Its verdict is, if anything, more harsh than the assessment offered by earlier critics: In the report the commission's members released today, they concluded the berm project was a total bust that succeeded in capturing virtually no oil. --by Brett Michael Dykes Gosh, what was your first clue, dudes? Maybe the fact that a lot of these berms were being deployed in places like Holly Beach where there was no freakin' oil to begin with? This was a blatant theft of millions of dollars, pure and simple. You know, there are lots of boots on the ground Republicans who are just stupid. However, every time I give a credit to a powerful Republican for trying to do the right thing and just being too stupid to figure out what that right thing is -- I'm ALWAYS wrong. If you just assume, upfront, they're in "public service" to steal, then you're going to right 99.9999 % of the time. Hell, you're going to be right 100% of the time, as far as I can tell. The followers, sure, they're stupid. That's why they're followers. The leaders are out to line their pockets, and they don't feel any shame about robbing stupid people. Heck, maybe they shouldn't feel any shame about robbing a bunch of idiots, bigots, and racists...but when their activities spill out and harm the innocent, they're just going way too far. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
