Hmmm...so you are saying that BP came up with this idea knowing it would kill their stock price? And after all the pols are screaming for them to not pay a dividend to their "rich" shareholders? And they announce it right after the shakedown meeting. And the Messiah and the rest of the clowns take credit. But it was ll BP's choice. C'mon Hound, you know how silly that sounds? How it flies in the face of what BP and the administration said? Honestly, you can sometimes be so reasonable and then at other times you just willfully ignore the facts. I just don't get it.

No one is suggesting that BP get away with anything. What we are suggesting is that giving a government czar $20B to dole out however they please smacks of a shakedown.
