All "legitimate" claims

BP told us they would pay "all legitimate claims" derived from the Gulf Oil Gusher.

As Dambala has told us repeatedly, it isn't reassuring to have Ken Feinberg emerge as the Great De-legitimizer.

The administrator of the new claims process for victims of the Gulf oil spill said Sunday most of the individual claims reviewed in the first week lacked the minimal documentation to be paid. "There are thousands of claims that have been filed with no documentation at all," Ken Feinberg told state officials at the Southern Governors' Association convention.

If they're lucky, in another 5 years, BP victims de-legitimized by Feinberg can take heart that they'll be granted a hollow victory in federal court. That's if they're lucky. If they're unlucky it may take them 20 years to find out they don't get any justice.
