Anthony Weiner: The BP Staffers Speaking To Media With British Accents Are All Lying

video
» 9 comments

US Representative Anthony Weiner (D – NY) appeared on Morning Joe this morning and discussed, among other things, the media relations efforts of the British Petroleum company. And he did not shy from harsh criticism when he simplified how viewer’s should read any comments made by BP publicists thusly: “Here’s a viewer’s guide to BP media briefings: whenever you hear someone with a British accent talking about this on behalf of British Petroleum, they are not telling you the truth.”

BP CEO Tony Hayward has been in the news a lot of late, and not at all for reasons one would want. After claiming he was sorry for the environmental disaster, he followed with “I want my life back.” He also was quoted as saying that the leak was but a tiny spill in a “very big ocean.” And, of course, there is that whole oil spill that he needs stop.

    “Anthony Weiner: The BP Staffers Speking To Media With British Accents Are All Lying”

    Again, I ask: do you hacks freaking read anything before you publish it? “Speking”? Spell check, like Mediaite writers, is such a simple tool. I’d think you’d all get along so well.

    To all of the former bullys out there. Did you ever wonder what happened to all of those kids who you used to pin in a corner and throw dodge balls at his head? Did you ever wonder what damage you have done to them. Well look no further than Anthony Weiner & Keith Olbermann. See what you have done!!!!!!

    So I guess I am a liar as I have a British accent, how dare this little piece of human detritus call others liars when he and his God (BO) are the biggest and worst liars going. I cringe everytime this creature opens his mouth, he should be called Weiner the whiner, I think , that in the future that is how I shall refer to this poor excuse for a human being.
