Oh Sweet Clean Baby Infant Jesus this is good. It is from an interview with BP Managing Director Robert Dudley complaining about his hurt feelings from the line of questioning he was receiving from the press. I’m quoting the response from the weblog writer at themudflats.net because it is dead on perfect:
Here’s a little tip for the PR-challenged. First, when you’ve just devastated a third of the country’s shore line, incinerated eleven human beings, put countless people out of work, destroyed fisheries, tourism, small business, wildlife and fragile ecosystems, and the mental and physical health of an entire region of the country, and when you have manipulated facts, kept reports from the public, knowingly put people in harm’s way, been blatantly negligent, and hidden the results of your devastation by following poison with more poison, don’t talk about your hurt feelings.
I bet this guy Dudley buys into this whole Professor Harvey C. Mansfield (pardon me sir) Manliness horse shit. It is amazing how sensitive these multi-million dollar corporate tough guys can get in front of journalists.
Acting like a bunch of Christian Republican Senators.
