When I first saw this title, I thought, that is a bit of creative writing. There has been a lot of talk about the BP oil spill in the gulf of Mexico.  The journalist who crafted this title really did a great job. He simply summarize what opportunistic politics is all about. You can read the short article here if you want to find out of more.

The journalist could have written a bland title like this: White house chief of staff trying to make political gains from BP oil spill.

Such a title wouldn’t be so interesting as the one used above. This is just simple and clever at the same time. I hope other journalists will take a cue from him and be that creative with their titles.
