Mississippi Gov.: Our Beaches are Beautiful! Come On Down!

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour went on Fox New Sunday to blame the media for ruining Gulf Coast tourism.  Seriously. 

"The biggest negative impact for us has been the news coverage. There has been no distinction between Grand Isle and Venice and the places in Louisiana that we feel so terrible for that have had oil washing up on them," the governor complained.


"The average viewer to this show thinks that the whole coast from Florida to Texas is ankle-deep in oil," he said.

"Our tourist season has been hurt by the misperception of what is going on down here. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is beautiful. As I tell people, the coast is clear. Come on down!

This is Waveland, Mississippi.  Those are dead fish.
