A prediction: condi rice, the new BP spokesperson.

There is a segment of our population that still considers Condi as presidential material. why? Who the he'll would know.

Because she was never put on the hot plate about her personal failures pre 9-11, she has a plausibly clean slate, as it were, and even now, too many people have no clue how badly she fucked up on the job.

Ergo. BP's new farce for TV will be the the last sec state. Sigh.

That's plausible

Wherever Condi goes, she's been accompanied by death and oil companies.

It's only natural.

5. No clean slate.

She'll be crucified if she dares stray outside the bubble. Her 9/11 Commission testimony, just for example, is a lingering vulnerability:

CLAIM: There was "nothing about the threat of attack in the U.S." in the Presidential Daily Briefing the President received on August 6th. (responding to Ben Veniste)

FACT: Rice herself confirmed that "the title (of the PDB) was, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.'" (Source: Condoleezza Rice, 4/8/04)

8. It won't happen

BP will try to break apart to get out of paying claims.

They'll certainly change their name and corporate identity, much like Blackwater did. They'll go for a much lower profile.
