Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy said Tuesday that the EPA is “taking responsibility” following the inadvertent release by an EPA cleanup team of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals from an abandoned gold mine in Colorado that flooded into the Animas and San Juan River valleys. A reporter pointed out to McCarthy that if this damage had been done by a “private polluter,” a public apology would have already been issued by the CEO or other leadership speaking for the offender.

Oh, ok, as long as you’re sorry. /s

In Japan they would have done the right thing and committed seppuku.

Well Gee Whiz!

If a Republican presided over a disaster like this, he/she would be shown the door like the head of FEMA after Katrina.
But, Zer0 presides over no failures.

In China, the families would have been sent a bill for the bullets.

I guess some farmer who is being fined thousands of dollars because a low place on his land has been declared a wet land by the Extreme Environmentalist Agency can go fill it in and then tell this hag and her gestapo that he is sorry. “Sorry” fixes everything and no one ever gets fired.

This.

I’m sure if the mine operator had been at fault, a deeply felt, “I’m sorry”, would mitigate any fines.

Cut their budget by the cost of the damages and clean up.

The EPA is sorry these days.

So was the CEO of British Petroleum.....where did that get him?

[woofie]

You are right ...its pretty quiet....I want to know how the hell this happened

Gina, your environmental legacy is a Velveeta-colored toxic river. Photos of that debacle will forever be enshrined on the Internet, right alongside your face, and Obama’s face, too. It may not halt the mayhem you and your boss are inflicting on the people of this nation, but it is entirely fitting that you end up a huge failure in the eyes of the “green” crowd.

So, who will fine these guys?

[Steamburg]

Great Job Gina, where’s the resignation?

[Osage Orange]

And you should be fined...and fired and jailed!!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I’m sorry, too. So I guess we’re good now, right? Nothing to see here. Move along.
