Video--Big Hypocrites: Congress Has No Moral Authority to Rip BP
Conservative Examiner ^ | 6/17/2010 | Anthony G. Martin

In a display that was indicative of political opportunism at best and hypocrisy at worst, members of the House committee on energy ripped into BP as if Congress is the shining example of honesty and integrity.

Time for a serious fact-check. Congress has no moral authority to rip BP if they do not include themselves in the blame-game.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon). BP CEO Tony Hayward with Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, one of the worst of the extremist environmentalists in Congress.

Of course. The level of Obama’s outrage is proportionate to his culpability. Equally for this committee. sickening.

I am waiting on someone from BP to rip into them, just as Hoffa did, just as many that were called before McCarthy. Time for someone to put those a_____holes in their place.

Why in the heck is he or anyone called before Congress just taking their hateful rants?
