A little earlier, it was much the same sentiment from a very different source: Chris Matthews on MSNBC, suggesting that the Obama administration had been issuing hollow threats to the oil company.

"Just plug it up and then we'll stop blame-gaming," Matthews promised, issuing a general appeal for help from the person or persons who, in the movie version of this disaster film, would ride to the rescue with a plan to seal the leaking well. "There must be some smart kid out there, or geologist," he said.
