McIrony cancels oil rig event

By GottaLaff

When I heard about the oil spill, my first thought was this:

So why exactly did Sen. John McCain cancel an event yesterday on an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana?

According to the McCain campaign, the event was canceled over weather concerns.

However, that explanation is not sitting well with Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who claims McCain canceled the event because of a nearby oil spill that dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the Mississippi.

“Look up ‘irony’ in the dictionary and you will find a description of this turn of events. Having to cancel your big oil drilling photo op because of a massive oil spill is like canceling a crime safety photo op because the house next door just got robbed," said Menendez.

'Nuff said.
