 Oil Executives & Disaster ProfiteersQA
Why you no good, lousy, stinkin' to high heaven son of a bitch. You have the termerity - the unmitigated audacity - to try to CASH IN on the biggest disaster to hit the panhandle since Katrina? I am not sure there are words in the dictionary or the Bible to describe how down-low, rotten, and despicable a creature such as yourself is. Oh wait - I forgot the term - "oil executive". Yes, that was it. You damned scurrious interloping rotten OIL EXECUTIVE!
In my many years as Governor, fighting off Standard of New Jersey tooth and nail, to the death - oh they had it out for me, let me tell you - I have never heard such a gross expression of unbridled avarice! The people - the little guy - the rig worker, the cashier, the dirt farmer - they are going to have their way with you someday, boy. This I can guarantee you. Why don't you hop on over to Texarkana and leave our good state alone. You want to make some money? FINE. You go on down to the gulf and you wade on out into that oil and when you come ashore, have someone light a match and set you on fire, and then we the people will advertise you as a circus freak and sell you to a nearby carnival. How does that sound? "Come see the Human Flame, the man who wanted money so bad he burned for it!" Yessir you'll be a celebrity then and that'll be real dough.
It pains me - pains me - to see this gem of the South, proud Lousiana, afflicted once more by a disaster from the Gulf. But it pains me worse to know the real disaster is that there are petty peons such as you fouling up the general population here.
But, heh, all politics aside, boy, if you wanna make money on this fiasco, SUE THE BASTARDS.
