This is what a guilty man sounds like.

The Charleston Daily Mail reports on Blankenship's appearance on WOWK's wingnutty "Decision Makers" program:

CHARLESTON, W.Va.--Massey CEO Don Blankenship said in a weekend TV interview that "evil people" have ascended the ranks of power in the United States and implied Sen. Jay Rockefeller was among them.

In an appearance on the WBOY and WOWK show "Decision Makers," Blankenship was asked about the impact of Rockefeller's comments that Massey was a "rogue" operator.

Rockefeller, D-W.Va., was being critical of Massey and Blankenship following the explosion last month at the company's Upper Big Branch mine that killed 29.

In the past, Rockefeller has gone out of his way to regurgitate the War on Coal^TM hysteria and attack the Obama administration's environmental protection efforts.

It appears it did little good for him.

A mild defense of the EPA got Rep. Rahall's face printed  on Massey-distributed "Nick Joe is anti-coal" signs. Accurately stating the case on mine safety has made Rockefeller fall out of favor with Blankenship.

It's time for Rockefeller and other officials to realize Blankenship will never be satisified with anything less than 100% obedience. The constant attempts to pander to him are just embarrassing.
