“There was oil industry boosterism that minimised potential hazards. There was a boosterism on the part of the previous [Bush] administration that got rid of protections that they viewed as obstacles to increased drilling. Now we see the results: boosterism led to complacency. And complacency led to disaster. And this is a disaster.”

~ Ed Markey, chairman of the energy and the environment subcommittee

Tough to argue with this assessment.

Right... Blame the motherfuckers who made shitty decisions all along the way, the guys who's pockets got lined and the fuckers who authorized the cutting of corners... Put the blame where the blame is due...
