Senator Inhofe Bails Out BP

The Republicans can't stop trying to bail out BP.

On Tuesday morning, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okl.) blocked a unanimous consent measure to increase the liability faced by companies like BP from $75 million to $10 billion. The Oklahoma Republican said he wanted to raise the cap as well but thought that the figure introduced by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) was arbitrary.

I sincerely hope the Democrats beat this drum over and over between now and November.
