Bob Murray the bloated buffoon who became a media darling during the initial stages of the Crandall Mining Company disaster–until it became apparent that his mine was riddled with safety violations, that he made huge contributions to the GOP and (surprise!) got a troublesome mining safety inspector transferred–has suddenly disappeared from view.
Obviously hiding from the shame of his company’s responsibility for 9 deaths, so far, the mine co-owner whop once was SO solicitous of the trapped miners’ families, is, according to reports from some of those stricken families, no longer speaking to them, no longer “available” to them.
Perhaps for fear the fatal consequences of his blundering irresponsibility will be hung around his neck, he now sends flunkeys out to deliver the bad news.
I repeat my call for Democratic presidential candidates to go to the mining site and denounce the consequences of Republican de regulation, and call for the prosecution of those derelict in their duty to the miners. If they don’t show up I hope Ralph Nader runs again. He’ll have been proven right once again: neither party cares more about workers than corporate donations.
Here’s one os the saddest paragraphs I’ve ever read from yesterday’s AP report on the situation:
If tunneling doesn’t restart, part of the mine will have been turned into a tomb. Despite that, Moore said there is recoverable coal in other parts of the 5,000-acre mine, and the company expected to resume operations at some point. He said he didn’t discuss that prospect with family members.
Keep those profits coming, bloated buffoon. From the looks of you porcine physiognomy you’ll soon be rotting in hell.
But for godsake don’t let them re open that mine. Dissolve the outlaw company and give its assets to its workers and send its executives to the slammer.
