Continuing efforts by lawmakers, Democrats especially, to demonize BP (NYSE:BP), has started to generate some strange things, and unsurprisingly, Henry Waxman, Democrat chairman of the House of Representative's Committee on Energy and Commerce, is among those with the strangest comments.
Among the more bizarre comments by Waxman today when grilling BP CEO Tony Hayward, was that Hayward was complacent in the matter because "not a single email or document that showed you paid even the slightest attention to the dangers of this well."
In other words, Hayward was in direct communication with his people when running the company, and because he didn't use the means of an e-mail to deal with issues, Waxman comes to the conclusion he was complacent. A bizarre conclusion to say the least.
What Waxman is really admitting here is there was nothing found that could be used against Hayward, and so he had to strangely concoct some conclusion from that to twist it into something negative.
How does the lack of evidence end up being evidence? Only to a twisted mind can that be made to be the case. Waxman has so overreached here he is made to look nutty a minimum, and a worst, unable to coherently sift through things and come to a healthy conclusion.
Waxman needs to be removed from heading up this committee, as his inability to function and come to normal conclusions makes him a huge liability and borderline laughingstock.
The outrage of Waxman was that there was nothing found to show Hayward had done anything wrong. That, in Waxman's strange conclusion, is unforgivable. So complacency is the sin of Hayward in the whole mess, according to Waxman's odd way of thinking.

Uh, Waxman said "email or document". So the really bizarre thing is that the author thinks it's strange to specify one medium and then go one to include all others. This is how English is commonly used. I might say "there is not one truck or car on the road" or "I need an Advil or pain reliever". It might sound bungled but it's more or less a matter of style, plus I wonder how your spoken English might sound if it was put under the same scrutiny.
Waxman is an Orc
The author does not comprehend English. Learn to listen first then post your gibberish.
