Alaska GOP Congressman Don Young: Gulf spill 'not an environmental disaster'

[NYcarbineer]

Young said: "This is not an environmental disaster, and I will say that again and again because it is a national [natural?] phenomena. Oil has seeped into this ocean for centuries, will continue to do it. During World War II there was over 10 million barrels of oil spilt from ships, and no natural catastrophe. ... We will lose some birds, we will lose some fixed sealife, but overall it will recover."

Sealife LOVES Oil.....makes them feel all slippery

Natural phenomenon? He doesn't think naturally occuring substances can destroy life??

Not that he needs to be made to look more ridiculous, but ironically he's constantly hounding Washington for more disaster funds for Alaska for one reason or another.

Conservatives are dependent on their govt welfare.

This is why Congress needs to do away with earmarks. This dipshit has been challenged multiple times from both the Democrats and his own party in primaries, but he keeps getting reelected. Why? Because he brings home the bacon.

Alaska keeps getting their state welfare paid for by the rest of us while we get plagued by this man's stupidity casting votes in the Congress that affect us all.

yep,, same reason those two deceased DUmmies, Kennedy and Murtha sat on their fat asses in Congress for so long. We need term limits and an elimination of all pork,, that's one of the big fat lie obie wan told..

Typical...and if the GOP regains Congress, the oil companies will have an inside voice for further reducing environmental controls. Maybe he and Sarah, the quitter, can run for President in 2012?

Probably because their constituents like what they were doing. But we wouldn't want to live in a place where the people get to pick their representatives. We're stupid and need a nanny law to keep us from electing people.

They could at least learn when to shut up. Wasn't Don Young highly implicated (if not convicted, can't recall) in the corruption surrounding Ted Stevens?

And another conservative who is too cowardly to discuss the topic of this thread.

Obama never said anything about term limits, and HE has been responsible for pushing a bill (now gaining bipartisan support in the Senate) to have earmarks clearly identified as necessary to the bill, and the identity of the lawmaker requesting it.

You'll have to come up with more cogent lies, dearie.
