Yeah I don't know how you could watch that hearing and come away with the impression that BP is sincerely doing everything it can. I was telling someone the other day I thought hearings like this are usually a waste of time, and my expectation was that I would end up feeling somewhat sorry for Hayward in spite of it all, since he was doing his best to fix things.
In fact, the callous fuck simply refused to answer dozens of perfectly reasonable questions that would have helped people understand the situation. I guess because it's not in BP's interest to shed any light on things. I would have been more impressed if he stood up, Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men style, and accused everyone of hypocrisy because they use oil or something to that effect, but he just sort of obfuscated and mumbled his way though.
Whereas I thought the questions were not actually grandstanding and got into some specific technical issues. But feel free to use whatever storyline is easiest to understand I guess...after all "deathboy" says he doesn't care about the oil spill, unless it makes his gas prices go up. Seems like that's a sentiment shared by a lot of people in this country - me, me, me.
