A Gulf state senator ripped BP chief executive Tony Hayward for taking time off Saturday to attend a glitzy yacht race around England's Isle of Wight as oil spewing into the Gulf continues to wreak havoc on the environment and wildlife.
"That's the height of arrogance," Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told Fox News on Saturday.

The GOP blows!
Didn’t Obama go to a baseball game last night?
They’re sending an oblique message to Obama and the Dims.
Thank you. I thought that perhaps I was the only one who saw Obama’s partying as a problem while this disaster develops.
Did Shelby just wake up out of a coma? I thought Hayward had been relieved of his duties by BP......?
Wasn’t Hayward relieved of his duties yesterday? BP put another guy in charge of the cleanup.
GOP is just posturing now to show they can put boots on necks too.
Playing “me too” has never helped Republicans win elections.

A day after he was grilled by Congress, BP chief executive Tony Hayward is being demoted. According to Britain’s Sky News.
Can we, as his employer, demote BO?????
People won’t be happy until this guy is hung upside-down and bare-assed in the town square and flogged. Meanwhile the oil will keep flowing and Barry will keep golfing and attending parties.
Is it my imagination, or does Obama have a Mickey Mouse hand?
Wearing a white glove? That could be construed as racist.
Where the heck was this Sen. Richard Shelby when 0bozo was partying it up with the idiotic Paul McCartney, playing golf nonstop (all at the peak of the oil spill), and attending swank fund raising dinner parties for Barbara Boxer on the same day that the 11 dead from the disaster were being buried?
Nope. That's addressed in the story, near the bottom. The Chairman, Svanberg "misspoke" in that earlier statement.
"Williams said Svanberg was misunderstood and that only a transition to Dudley, an American with 30 years in the oil business, had begun."
Shelby needs to lighten up. The guy got removed from his position, so what is he supposed to do? He is entitled to a life outside his former job now.
I thought Heyward was no longer responsible for the company’s handling of the oil spill. Shelby needs to catch up with the news.
Remember, most of the GOP are on the paid of many of the same parties as the Dims. The big banks and oil companies own them all.
Including Shelby.
You should see how ANY legislation is for sale. You point out flaws and you are ignored, because the banks, oil companies, and other lobbyists own Washington.
Can we, as his employer, demote BO?????
Yeah, it's called "an election" ... don't elect him next time ... LOL ...
[ ... of course, I have no idea how we elected him the first time ... ]
What is it about these Republican office holders. There is a time to keep ones mouth shut. Obama has been partying every other day for God’s sake. Let’s get real here.
This is all political posturing.
What is he supposed to do? A photo-op with an oil-stained pelican? Ashes and sackcloth? A trip to Lourdes to pray for a miracle?
