Bill Clinton: We May Have to Blow Up Oil Well Posted by Brian Montopoli 13 comments
Former President Bill Clinton said during a panel discussion in South Africa that it may become necessary to blow up the Deepwater Horizon well that continues to spew oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
"Unless we send the Navy down deep to blow up the well and cover the leak with piles and piles and piles of rock and debris, which may become necessary - you don't have to use a nuclear weapon by the way, I've seen all that stuff, just blow it up - unless we're going to do that, we are dependent on the technical expertise of these people from BP," Clinton said.

From “Just plug the damn hole” to “Blow it up”. They’ve got it covered.
So do we call this the Big Lewinsky?
What?
No Ice?
“Yeahhh; that’s the ticket!”
Aww Geez, do we have to put the words “Clinton” and “blow” in the same headline again?
1990’s redux...........
How about heavy gauge steel chain and some cinder blocks. Let's give them all a closer look that the oil "spill"...
It is unfortunate. We are at a loss.
On second thought, bad idea. democrats have a propensity to vote early AND often when dead.
Space, that's where they need to go. Anyone know of an impending supernova far, far out in the reaches of darkness? I'll settle for a super-massive black hole as well.
“Unless we send the Navy down deep to blow up the well”
I guess that would be Mabus
“From Just plug the damn hole to Blow it up. Theyve got it covered.”
Has bammy kicked a$$ yet?
Oh, no, wait...that's the other one.
Can we send them down in a sub?
It really is surreal.
What’s he know, anyway? Like he’s some sort of geological hydrodynamics, drilling engineer expert.
Was he drunk when he said this?
When clintoon becomes involved I get worried.
Blowing is a subject Bill Clinton knows a lot about
Problem is that if you start exploding the hole, unless you manage to fill it back up with “piles and piles and piles of rock and debris”, all you have then is a bigger hole. I’m no expert, but I think getting debris into a hole that’s
a: thousands of feet below the surface
b: gushing out a viscous fluid at high pressure
is not easily done.
Politicians offering silver-bullet solutions has a bad track-record of panning out.
“Can we send them down in a sub?”
Jimmy, Bill & Barry...right on! Maybe one of them NK subs with the nuke devise welded to the sub...

I guess he’ll pass this job onto Monica.
He actually is close to the answer which is a 5 megaton nuke (easily guided in by a US Sub). Leak over. We fired these thing under water by the dozens and no lasting effect but by God we better do something!! Close the damned hole!!!
