BP CEO: Our corporate Colin Firth
By the DivaAn apology goes down a lot better in the Queen’s English, no? When the dude on the Congressional hot seat apologizes, it sounds so much smoother with that British lilt, a a stage actor stepping up all Hugh Grant-style, minus the aberrant nimbly bimbly. We find it marginally offputting that one of the BP execs would call Gulf region dwellers the “small people” but perhaps his heart was in the right place, but his American slang was not. Or something.
We wonder if BP can truly pay off the $20 billion escrow fund they have pledged for clean-up? It’s a nice idea, and the right thing to do, but when everything settles, will they have it to give?
