Democrat Ed Markey wants BP (NYSE:BP) to Blindly Accept Oil Estimate Numbers of Government

With tens of billions on the line, the incompetent Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass. has again managed to place himself in the media spotlight by writing a letter to BP (NYSE:BP) pressuring them to blindly accept the estimated amount of oil that went into the Gulf of Mexico.

This is the same media whore that attempted to tie the release of the Lockerbie bomber in with BP and the British government, and wouldn't stop even after every party involved said there was no connection.

Him and three other of his Democrat colleagues looked the fools, and Markey want to the outrageous length of saying it was "blood money," as far as doing deals with Libya.

What Markey didn't bother checking was the United States had far more deals with Libya than the British did.

Here's what the totalitarian Markey says now concerning the government numbers of oil spilled from the Gulf in a press release:

"BP acceptance of a flow rate number is fundamental to its claim that it 'is doing everything it can to make this right' for the families and businesses of the Gulf. Low-balling or litigating the flow rate estimate would be just one more insult to the people of the Gulf."

No it wouldn't Markey, it's what a free people and free nation are allowed to do.

This is an attempt to control the responses and reactions of BP in what appears to be an outright brutish manner. To say its an insult to people in the Gulf to disagree with Government figures on the oil spill isn't low-balling, but just doing what any company or organization should perform: due diligence.

This Markey needs to be pressured to step down after the outrageous accusations against the British and now attempting to force BP to accept Government figures, which are very suspect, at best.

Evidently what Markey doesn't like is the government being questioned and accountable itself.

The truth is from the beginning I've felt the government figures were far too high, and evidently BP does as well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with BP challenging them if that's what they choose to do.

But Markey is obviously on his own political mission, as using the press release speak to itself in delivering this message.

Making outrageous and idiotic statements is his choice of weapon to remain in the public eye. But now he's beginning to look so totalitarian and stupid, it would be best for him to slither away and hide under a rock than to continue his media outbursts.
