BP Thinks You're An Idiot

CEO of BP Tony Hayward thinks we're all morons.

"I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to have been very, very modest. It is impossible to say and we will mount, as part of the aftermath, a very detailed environmental assessment. But everything we can see at the moment suggests that the overall environmental impact will be very, very modest."

Yes, a new Exxon Valdez every two weeks plus hundreds of thousands of gallons of chemical dispersant injected into depths where the impact is completely untested? 'Tis but a flesh wound.
