WASHINGTON — A multimillionaire House Republican who owns thousands of shares of BP stock has no plans to recuse himself from a congressional investigation related to the Gulf oil spill or from votes on Capitol Hill that could affect his investments in the oil company.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin has avoided directly criticizing BP for the spill itself. At the same time, he has watched his BP stock tank in value.
Worth more than $251,000 just a few years ago, Sensenbrenner’s 3,604 shares of BP PLC stock had plunged in value to just $118,000 by the end of trading Thursday. That’s roughly half their value the day before the April 20 oil spill. Sensenbrenner has said his net worth is about $10 million.




Oh for fuck's sake.

Dubya-style.

:hangover:

I see they are using the old bullshit and mirrors tactic, I wouldn't have ever thought they would use that old but very effective rues.

I don't cry, I don't laugh, I don't even go, "meh", I just stare at the screen, nonplussed as the horror washes over my numb brain.
