My Oil Business Friends Told Me God Caused It

May 3, 2010:  Perry questioned whether the spill was "just an act of God that occurred."  "From time to time there are going to be things that are acts of God that cannot be prevented."

A Lawyer Told Me BP Caused It

June, 2010: The truth is that BP has not asserted the cap because it acknowledged that evidence would reveal that the explosion and resulting spill were the product of gross negligence -- which renders the statutory cap irrelevant. We know this because, during a conference call with Gulf Coast attorneys general, BP General Counsel Jack Lynch acknowledged that gross negligence would be revealed as a cause of the explosion that led to the oil spill."

Perry flip flopped because it dawned on him that he could get a whole bunch of money out of BP for the couple of tar bars that washed up on Bolivar - $20 million - if he went the trial lawyer route.

Maybe the title of this blog post should be, "Rick Perry Trusts Trial Lawyers."
