“Well, I was just going to mention, former Vice President Gore. He has got a global warming problem of his own now, so I will probably just leave reference to him out entirely. Apparently his planet is warming right now. But it is interesting, too, when I heard the President talking previously about this cozy relationship between regulators and the Big Oil--here it is back again to the cynicism, and part of it I think is all those days as a judge--you know, it hit me. And I asked my office to check. And sure enough, they found a press release from the Department of Interior dated June 18, 2009, and I'm glad my friend was enlightened, as I was, to find out just how cozy British Petroleum and the White House and the global warming advocates here on Capitol Hill and the White House have been. There is apparently a very cozy relationship, which obviously made it difficult for him to want to condemn BP because they were the oil company that was jumping out there and saying, We support all this global warming stuff.”
