Somebody Should Look Into That

Some critics of the Obama administration have now picked up the talking point that the oil spill is equivalent to the Iranian hostage crisis credited with destroying President Jimmy Carter's presidency. "I think the danger isn't that this is his Katrina. It's that it's his Iranian hostage crisis," George Will told ABC's Jake Tapper Sunday.

Oh yeah? Is there some Republican betraying the country like Reagan did with Iran and making deals with BP to keep the spill going until it damages Democrats in the election? Unlikely in this case, but Reagan did collude collude with Ayatollah Khomeini to keep the hostages until Carter got beat. And then he sold them munitions of war.
