Bowling Green, KY -  Jack Conway reached a new low for campaign hypocrisy, when he falsely attacked Dr. Rand Paul on the BP oil spill, while all the while taking in thousands of dollars of campaign cash from BP executives.  Of course, pretending to be on the right side of an issue while taking campaign contributions from the other is nothing new for Jack Conway.

In this case, the controversy once again involves Jack Conway simply making up statements and attributing them to Dr. Paul.  Dr. Paul has clearly state that BP should be accountable for the mess in the Gulf and should bear the cost of cleanup.  He also believes it was a mistake for Congress to have limited BP’s liability.  The remarks that Jack Conway misrepresented, simply noted that he did not think it was an appropriate thing for the administration to both do nothing to help, while at the same time using political grandstanding to claim they were “keeping the boot heel to the throat” of BP.  This language was neither true, nor necessary.

The Federal Government has a responsibility to both assist in this type of disaster relief, and also to make sure BP does it’s job.  They’ve done neither effectively, rather, they’ve simply postured while allowing the spill to be mishandled.

Instead of spending their time rhetorically making BP into a villain, the Administration could have instead heeded the call of the Louisiana Governor, who has asked for federal supplies and a waiver for from federal rules in order to handle the problem on Louisiana ’s coastline.  For over two weeks, the silence from Washington was deafening, while the rhetoric was loud and clear.

Jack Conway and President Obama are forming a great team on yet another issue – lots of trumped up rhetoric, not a lot of substance.  This is not a recipe for handling a disaster, but it certainly is politics as usual.
