Today, some two months after the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon Rig, the NY Times posted that "Faced with the continuing American furor over its gaffe-prone British chief executive, Tony Hayward, BP is putting a former Mississippi resident in charge of handling the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and its aftermath."
He doesn't have a British accent like Tony Hayward - he has a "Mississippi" one, so the media'll probably be more accepting.
He apparently knows "what crabbing, shrimping and fishing is about". Geez.
I guess the human touch, a familiar face, even in situations that are obviously calling for calculated expertise and cold calm, is important. I don't know - aren't we letting our emotions take over here? Does this really matter?
Hmm. The Human Touch. The Familiar Voice.
I wonder.
