The Obama administration shamelessly spins the gulf
6th August 2010
The Obama administration’s relentless attempt to manufacture and take undue credit for good news has spilled (sorry) over into the Gulf of Mexico, where climate and energy “czar” Carol Browner claims that “more than three-quarters of the oil is gone.” As David Fahrenthold of the Washington Post does a nice job showing, that claim is unsubstantiated and almost certainly false.
Not really news, but a useful reminder.
