Josh Marshall and his crew have done yeoman's work compiling what they think are the Top Six GOP Oil Spill Gaffes. They include, of course, Joe Barton's apology for the "shakedown," Sarah Palin's conclusion that her call to "Drill, Baby, Drill" was somehow vindicated by an oil-gushing open wound in the earth's crust, and John Boehner's knee-jerk agreement with the tone-deaf US Chamber of Commerce, whose president suggested that the Federal Government should be responsible for the cleanup costs in the Gulf, not BP.
The Republicans really aren't very adept at reading polls sometimes. There are two entities who top the "America's Most Hated" list right now: BP and the referee from Mali who disallowed the US soccer team's goal yesterday. So of course it's a good idea to align your party with one of them.
