LIMBAUGH: The EPA administrator -- this is the woman, who -- Gina McCarthy -- should have been forced to resign after what she did, poisoning that river. That was an EPA -- that wasn't BP oil. It wasn't some evil corporation. That was an incompetent EPA chief. And you know what they were doing? They were setting -- they caused this disaster. This the theory from people who live out there, that this thing was done on purpose so that it would qualify for Superfund, which is -- in other words, it qualify for massive federal clean-up dollars. They created a polluted mess in order to get more federal money and the EPA was complicit in it.
