Reply #3: I'll give him credit for trying

My complaints:

1) Comparing the 1,000 barrels captured against the entire 5 million spilled is either stupid or disingenuous. It should be compared to how many barrels of oil that ended up in the marshes. for example: If 1,000 barrels ended up in the marshes, then the barriers stopped half the oil that would have ended up there.

2) As for the cost, it was paid for by BP. If it cost BP 100 million to stop even 1 barrel of oil, I'm okay with that. I'm not sitting around wishing that BP had a bigger profit.

3) It was still better than the Coast Guard/BP plan of letting it wash ashore.


Now that I've defended a republican, I need to go take a shower.
