Imus loses it when Chris Dodd tries to blame Bush for oil spill

“Countrywide” Chris Dodd was discussing the Gulf oil spill with Don Imus. As soon as Dodd tried to defend Obama by uttering the words “The last eight years…”, Imus went ballistic.

It went downhill from there.

By the way, we just read the other day that said Imus is now a syndication success story and is carried on more stations than ever. That may be true, but if the show were really successful, wouldn’t it be able to book far better guests than corrupt lame duck senators?

  • Excuse me?! Bush was forerunner on alternative fueling and power. The problem was that unlike Obama he didn't go and talk about every second he had. It was Bush's efforts on alternative fuels and power that Obama is now benefiting from. I may be wrong but when did Bush go drill drill drill?

    This Dodd character is completely off his rocker and so is Pelosi. Blaming Bush game is getting old. I am sure that when (G-d please let it be) Barack looses the election they will blame Bush.

  • And now Pelosi blames Bush:

    Pelosi blames Bush administration for BP oil spill.

    Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., blamed the Bush administration for any lack of oversight leading up to the Gulf oil spill. The Obama administration, on the other hand, is blameless.

    From Talk Radio News Service:

    “Many of the people appointed in the Bush administration are still burrowed in the agencies that are supposed to oversee the [oil] industry,” Pelosi said when asked if Democrats could have prevented or mitigated the crisis by keeping a closer watch on the industry.

    Added the Speaker, “the cozy relationships between the Bush administration’s agency leadership and the industry is clear&hellipI’ve heard no complaints from my members about the way the president has handled it,” Pelosi stated.

    On Friday, the Washington Examiner requested that Speaker Pelosi’s office release the list of Bush appointees to whom she was referring. We’ll let you know when we hear back.

  • When Don asked about the "skunk" lying pussy that is running for Dodd's senate seat I thought Dodd was gonna pop. I would like to have seen that. Every veteran better vote against that SOB, whether you've been in combat or not. He made claims indicating what a hero (as each one of our 'Nam and any other combat vets are) he wants us to think he was. His sphincter is clearly visible above his shirt collar.

  • I thought people at msnbc or whatever rock he came out of got rid of
    him after comments on the female basketball team. I guess old ugly
    conservative/libertarians never die they just talk their way to hell! Everyone knows the previous admin was the oil guys. When libertar/conservs blame the president for his so called slow response they're saying at the same time what's all the fuss about an oil spill? & I agree! Why blame the president when Americans are not going to give up their use of oil, gas & coal, That's the reason Environmentalists have been against the Alaskan Wildlife preserves being drilled. This could happen there. Your readers must be wealthy! God bless America!

    • difference between drilling offshore and mile down and on an acre of land up there is a spill would be quickly capped in alaska. Environmentalists have forced drilling a mile down because they thought it would prevent drilling period, or maybe they hoped for a disaster such as this. If people like u had their way, we would all be back in the stone age, starving to death.

    • Candy, Candy, Candy.........

      #1-Your president is more in bed with big oil than any of the previous real Presidents have been.
      #2-Deep Water Horizon was moved into place last year, after not being allowed to drill in the Gulf of Mexico under W.
      #3-It was in fact, BARRY SOETORO's people who allowed BP to move it into place, who gave BP, Deepwater, and the KBR subsidiary the major safety and environmental accolades last year, after they allowed it to be moved into place.
      #4-It was BARRY SOETORO's people at MMS-POLITICAL APPOINTEES, who allowed them to violate the top 5 tenets in deep water oil exploration.
      #5-It was BARRY SOETORO's people who allowed all of this to go on, because they had a plan. That plan was to sabotage DWH.

      As for Imus-it is funny how you knuckleheaded libtard fools bitch about Imus calling a girls basketball team nappy headed, yet, it is in numerous great songs, such as one of Stevie Wonder's best. It is in movies, rap songs, television shows, and my black friends call other blacks nappy headed all the time. It is funny how Jesse Jackson can call Barry Soetoro a nigger, Jews "Himeys" and you don't bitch about his career still being on the path to extort at least 10 new private businesses this year.
      You and the rest of the liberal effetes (you may have to look up the meaning of that word-but for now trust me, I am funny) are complete shitheads. You are hypocrites, dummies, and don't know when to stop. Even when your president(s) is/are defiling staff in the oval office with smoking articles, hanging around with terrorists, stealing from the nation, destroying our economy, destroying our military(Slick Willy started it, and it looks like barry will finish it), and using our Constitution to wipe their turd cutters, you are still trying to shift focus to things like Don Imus' funny statement of 2 or 3 years ago.
      For shame Candy, for shame. How you can toe a "party line" for a marxist, who has been involved with hijacking the true Democrat Party is beyond reproach. You don't even know what the real Democrat platform is. You follow, to follow. You know nothing about our country. You have been brainwashed, as is evidenced in your idiotic retort herein.
      Were this blow-out to have occurred on land, it would have been plugged in minutes, as when we drill on dry land, we have the necessary gear on site, for just this type of situation. In fact, it is so easy to avoid this type of thing on land, it almost never happens.
      All of the above said, please don't forget to look both ways before crossing the street, to turn off the stove (just before bed every night), don't smoke while you are pumping gas. You obviously are too dim to remember these simple things that protect us all from ourselves.

    • We haven't had a president since Reagan that didn't looooovvvve the saudis. Don't kid yourself. Hell, we haven't really had a president since Reagan, period.

    • You speak the truth, Michelle. It wasn't an oil "rig". The unit was the startup for a rig. My beliefs don't rule out the current administration signing the drill bill into effect shortly before the disaster only to highlight their (fake) openmindedness to drilling and then creating this disaster to shut it down and continue our dependence on saudi and chavez oil. These retards really do want to take America to the bottom.

  • BP secured approval to drill the Prospect from MMS in March 2009 without MMS requiring use of an acoustic blowout preventer actuation alternative.

    Obama was in office Jan 22, 2009

  • Sounded more like they were yuckin it up like old friends to me. And if Dodd thinks we should be careful about what we think of islam he should check out thr videos at TruthTube TV as I think all Americans should. I stumbled on to the site the other day and was sickened by some of the stuff I saw. Beheadings etc., by scum that love what thier doing.liberals should be forced to watch them.

  • The world's energy demands could be easily met by tapping the geothermal source coming out of Dodd. His air seems endless and very hot.
