Smart Like A Fox, Or Dumb As A Frog Fart

That has got to be what Floridians are wondering after learning of Florida CEO Scott's decision not to join Louisiana, Alabama, and 800 other plaintiffs in their Federal lawsuit against Transocean, owners of the Deepwater Horizon rig that self-destructed last year in the Gulf of Mexico.

Instead of joining the Transocean lawsuit, Scott and his Gaddafi-like nursemaid, Pam Bondi, have decided to rely on BP's warm, compassionate, and generous good nature to voluntarily come forward, accept responsibility, and compensate Florida and its people who were injured due to the oil gusher in the Gulf.

To quote the thousands of Floridians responding to this decision,

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" 

Corporate giants taking responsibility? Get real! While I can't deny that Scott is a sleazy, scum-sucking crook, I don't believe he is that stupid.

There is something in this decision that will benefit him personally. It has nothing to do with saving the state legal fees. He could care less about you, me, or Florida and if you believe otherwise, I have a slightly used oil rig sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico that I will gladly sell you.

There is some serious Big Oil ass-kissing going on here, and for this Scott should be tarred, feathered, and ridden out of state on a rail. It is too bad that this old Southern tradition of dealing with carpetbaggers is no longer in vogue.
