One Man, So Much Evil

Looks like the numero uno evil curmudgeon - Dick Cheney - has his imprint all over the BP disaster. Not only did he formerly run Halliburton (with a record of shoddy work and fraud), which cemented the deep water drill hole improperly, he also decided precautionary oil well shut-offs were too expensive and allowed oil companies to ignore this safeguard.

Seems as though the, "It's Bush's fault" mantra still holds.
