Ask Gov. Barbour

• Haley Barbour

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is coming to town June 14 to help raise money for Jim Keet, the Republican nominee for governor.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to ask him if he is still an apologist for BP; if he still fully supports deep ocean oil drilling; if he still thinks the Gulf gusher isn’t as bad as Exxon Valdez; if the oily gunk washing up on beaches is no more offensive than toothpaste.

Perhaps Keet could be asked the same questions if they hold a mutual press conference. Drill, babies, drill?
