Halliburton Caused the Oil Spill!

The charge has been emanating from Left Blogistan for days now, and I just chalked it up to the usual leftwing wackadoo kookery.

An oil-drilling procedure called cementing is coming under scrutiny as a possible cause of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico that has led to one of the biggest oil spills in U.S. history, drilling experts said Thursday.

The WSJ left unconfirmed the lefty nutbag claims that Dick Cheney himself ordered the sabotage, or even performed the deed himself by diving miles below the the ocean's surface in his top secret undisclosed submarine that also doubles as a jihadi torture chamber...
