If the the original bit that broke came from Halliburton, the presstitutes will focus on that and not the other equipment such as the blowout preventers and fishing tools that Halliburton brought to the site. Can't give credit to a company that does real work and was strengthened (if not saved) by a man who is now the US VP and who is hated by the Rats for his success, can we?

Our small company does contract work for Halliburton and they have a big presence in our oil patch town. I'm sure their having a lot of the rescue equipment won't get a big play on the national news, because it isn't a deck-of-cards company like Enron. I'm just too cynical to think the liberal press can have anything nice to say about a business, especially one formerly run by VP Cheney.
