Jimmy Buffett Changes Tune on Oil Spill, No Longer Blames Bush

Last week, singer Jimmy Buffett took a swipe at former President George W. Bush, saying that the Republican administration was responsible for the oil spill off the Gulf Coast.

"To me it was more about eight years of bad policy before [President Obama] got there that let this happen," Buffett told the Associated Press. "It was Dracula running the blood bank in terms of oil and leases."

But Buffett appeared to change his mind at his concert in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Sunday, and laid the blame for the spill solely on BP.

The musician revamped the lyrics of his famous "Margaritaville" song to: "Some people claim that there's a woman to blame; but I know it's all BP's fault."

 We think this revision is a bit more on-target.
