Live Coverage - Oil Execs From All Companies On CSPAN 3 Now........
opening comments by the Congresspersons - found out that all have the same plan - which was commonly written by a consultant firm and put in place by each oil company. They all reference 'walrus' in their plans - because its the same plan.

Also - Exxon has 40 pages on how to handle the press should their be a problem. This is complete with Press Releases to cover deaths of personnel - expressing deep regret and sympathy, etc. They only have 5 pages in their plan for environmental handling.

The Repugs are taking shots at the Dems for using this as an opportunity to tax and put in new regulations. He quoted Rahm for saying "Never let a serious crisis go to waste".

As I was typing this up in another room (I think I heard this right) - one Repug said that the administration is blaming Bush for this - yet Bush didn't blame previous the previous administration for 9/11.

Another Repug is wanting to hold fed regulators responsible. I welcome this - because this can only lead back to Bush/Cheney and their helping the deregulation of this industry along.

This hearing should be interesting.

2. Lying fucks! Bush certainly did blame Clinton for 9/11.
And the difference here is Bush and his oily administration really does deserve the blame for most of this.
