Democrats are scrambling to keep the attention off of their dismal record since they took control of the country, and continue to pursue BP (NYSY:BP) over the so-called issue concerning Scotland's release of the Lockerbie bomber.
Every single lawmaker in Britain has already said there is absolutely no connection between BP and the release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi, who was believed to have only three months to live at the time because of cancer.
Democratic Senator Robert Menendez has resumed the faux whining about the circumstance, with Democrats evidently angry over it not taking hold in the minds of the American public, who, for the most part, don't believe BP had anything to do with it.
Now the Democrats look like Chicago thugs rather than statesmen, as they went so far as to call the non-existent event one of "blood money," causing an even bigger rift in relations with one of our strongest historical allies, Britain.
Menendez has now invoked the name of Tony Hayward in an attempt to revive the issue, knowing how deeply angry the public is with him, and that he can get away with bashing him, this time about not showing up for the media show which had meant to be created to make Democrats look tough for their base.
The attempt to create a circus in order to probe the lame duck CEO of BP backfired on them, as they've had to reschedule it for September, even though it's highly unlikely Hayward will attend.
The September date was mentioned because of the elections to come soon afterwards, which the Democrats would use the highly emotional issue to attempt to draw votes in an election where they are expected to get crushed in.
Too bad Democrats don't mind destroying relationships with allies of the American people in order to garner a few votes.
