Has anyone watched any of the testimony by BP CEO before Congress on the oil spill?

Here's a blog that updates what is happening. I'm ashamed to be associated with these idiots questioning Tony Hayward. Is there one single person in this committee that understands that Tony Hayward was not on the rig? That Tony Hayward is an executive with a large corporation. I've heard them ask him no less than five times in an hour if he was on the rig or aware of certain things happening on the rig the second they happened. And when he says he wasn't on the rig, they act like that is a disgrace.

This is what happens when you have people in Congress with absolutely no, none, not one bit of experience in the real working world.

One woman now is rebuking Hayward for not being sad enough about the deaths of BP employees. Hayward very slowly explained that he was very upset about the deaths and had expressed that to the families, BUT Hayward corrected her, the 11 killed were not employees of BP.

Here's another example from the blog:

"7.51pm: Hayward says he'd be "very surprised" if his chief operating officer, Doug Suttles, or head of exploration and production, Andy Inglis, were involved in decisions about the design of the leaking Macondo oil well.

"The BP boss is playing a dangerous game by declaiming all responsibility for what went on at the rig. He's not exactly inspiring confidence in his senior leadership team.

"Mike Doyle, a Pennsylvania Democrat, reminds Hayward that he's not running a department store, he's running an oil company with "life or death" decisions. Doyle remarks that he's wondering if he could run an oil company, it pays better than being a Congressman and doesn't seem to involve much work: "Those of you at the top don't seem to have a clue what was going on at this rig."
