You realize of course that this was part of the evil bushitlerhalibuton conspiracy dont you. Revenge is a dish best served oily.
I don’t see how anyone can think this is a surprise—after all, BP was one of Dear Reader’s biggest contributors…
I’d LOVE to have been a fly on the wall at their meeting, but I figure it went something like this:
Dear Reader consults TOTUS, who tells him to say “here’s how it’s going to work: We’re going to proclaim you gave us 20-BILLION, but you’ll get 10 back in tax credits and the rest will be a write-off which - when added to the rest - may even result in you SAVING some money.
“I get to look like I did something, you save some money, and anyone who accepts your 30 pieces of silver must waive all future claims.
“How’s THAT?”
Obviously Soros and Dear Reader’s other puppet-masters approved…
