Not from the huge oil spill, but from idiots in Congress.
From the New York Times coverage of today's congressional hearing:
In his opening remarks, Representative Parker Griffith, an Alabama Republican said that "if we're going to talk about the environment," he'd "like to remind the committee that the greatest environmental disaster in America has been cigarettes." That means, he said, that the spill is "not going to be the worst thing that's ever happened to America."
OK, he represents Alabama, but still...
