BP Exec Tony Hayward takes a look at clean-up efforts on the beach in Port Fourchon, LA - pics

BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward looks on as crew members clean up the beach in Port Fourchon, Louisiana May 24, 2010. The U.S. government piled pressure on BP on Monday to clean up a "massive environmental mess" in the Gulf of Mexico amid growing anger at the oil giant's failure to contain a five-week-old oil spill.

1. BP is NOT NOT NOT doing everything possible until
Tony "See how lily white and clean my hands are?(see pic #3)" Hayward is out there in a hazmat suit scoopin' up the filthy fuckin' crude his well is dumpin' on the beach.

What an asshole. What a stinking little weasel of an asshole.



Tansy Gold, who guesses Tony probably threw those $1,000 shoes in some trash can as soon as he was out of camera range on the remote possibility that they might have picked up a tiny speck of that nasty nasty oil stuff

5. Shoveling it into bags?
And just what do you do with the bag? Shove it up his....?

Seriously, if they think they are going to solve the cleanup problem with plastic bags, they are seriously mistaken.

6. As disturbing as those pics are, I don't think they show the extent
of the destruction on the beach. It's almost pristine compared to some of the other photos/videos I've seen. I wonder if he saw any other areas, or just popped into this relatively clean patch for the photo op. (And he's got nerve telling OUR reporters to back away - who does he think he is?)

7. 2nd pic: Two people clearly point in a direction for him to look
and he looks the other way.

Sorry sum up of how he's behaved so far.

8. Those pics look so pathetically hopeless...
Like throwing a few water balloons into a raging forest fire. Might as well be using teaspoons and sandwich bags, instead of 10" wide shovels and hazardous waste garbage bags.

9. At least he doesn't look particularly happy
It probably doesn't smell real nice there, either. In the second to last picture, it looks like he's trying to pull an answer out of his right ear, instead of his ass. So he's got that going for him, too.

15. The BP smell was out in full force today.
That's probably the only reason why he has a pained expression. Fucking sociopath.

10. Wonder if the British will shower him with all kinds of goodies and honorifics
like his predecessor and mentor Lord Browne.
