Chris Matthews Wants Dick Cheney “Under The Lights And Under Oath” Over Oil Spill
It’s hard to find a target in the search to lay blame on someone for the tragic Gulf of Mexico oil spill that threatens to wipe out some of the richest American ecosystems. BP is taking most of it, though, as the reason for the oil tanker explosion that caused the spill is still unknown, they aren’t making it easy to pin them down. Yesterday, Chris Matthews went a bit further back in time to find a villain in the story, proclaiming that former Vice President Dick Cheney should testify about this current oil spill.
Matthews cited a string of what he considered suspicious activity by the former Vice President and former Halliburton CEO, such as a transaction where “he received some kind of bonus or whatever” when he left Halliburton for the White House, and the lack of meaningful oversight on oil companies. The oil companies and their regulators, Matthews continued, have an “incredibly incestuous little set-up” that makes it nearly impossible to keep the companies in check. “We’ve got the VP of our country, fresh from his job as CEO of the oil company, holding secret meetings with the oil companies in the White House,” he argued. Yes, we did– 16 months ago. Matthews insisted, however, on calling the current relationship with the oil companies a product of “the government Obama inherited” and concluded that Cheney needed to testify “under the lights and under oath” about the Gulf oil spill.
