Quote of the Day

"Come on down here and play golf, enjoy the beach, catch a fish and pay a little sales tax while you're here."—Chair of the Republican Governors Association and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, downplaying (to put it charitably) the gravity of the oil spill in the Gulf.

Via Alex, who notes dryly: "[I]t may be hard to enjoy a beach covered in tar balls and dead fish."
