So Matthews is getting a trickle down his leg instead of a tingle. Maybe somebody is peeing on him.

"All through this time I have not sensed that he is Chief Executive, and if I hear one more time that Secretary Chu has a Nobel Prize, I'm going to barf. The idiot cerebral meritocracy has to get out of the way, and let people who do things fix the problem." (Chris Matthews, from memory) I think we can say that the leg has stopped tingling. It's funny in a sick way, because now Obama is hoist on the petard of the same environmental hysteria which he has fanned and used. The environmentalists are convinced that an oil spill is somehow unnatural and that therefore Nature cannot cope with it, so the Gulf is ruined forever. Chris Matthews said "the oil will be there forever." It's not true at all; oil seeps all the time and seawater is full of microbes that eat oil, so the oil will decompose. The IXTOC I spill did not ruin the Gulf, nor did Saddam's blowing of the Kuwaiti wells ruin the Persian Gulf. In the case of the Persian Gulf, the "experts" were surprised how fast it came back because that spill was the worst on record, est. 8 million barrels. It just takes longer to come back than you want to hear about, if you are a fisherman or hotel-keeper whose business is ruined.
