1. oh crap, singing him praises give me a break!!

[depakid]

2. So, was it Tony that got you to go on TV and announce that Top Kill had worked?

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. No wonder he's letting the BP pukes order the fucking Coast Guard around.

Fuck you Thad.

[BeFree]

4. That explains a lot

Thad, time for you to get the hell out of the way. FU.

[charlesg]

5. Near-future headline: Adm. (Ret.) Thad Allen joins BP board

continuing the proud and profitable revolving-door tradition

[woodsprite]

6. Well, guess that seems to be the problem then. n/t

[femrap]

7. Thad is the dude who was in

charge during Katrina....why is Obama giving him another chance to screw everyone and everything?

This is disgusting. Welcome to Fascism!

[tekisui]

8. Allen should be fired and investigated.

[Ganja Ninja]

9. So now we know who's behind the attempts to keep people off the beaches

and stop fly-overs of the slick.

[AngryOldDem]

10. There is no possible way that Allen should be interacting with Hayward...

...except in an official capacity. And with that comes a healthy dose of skepticism/impartiality as well.

No wonder nothing much is getting done down there.

If this is true, relieve Allen immediately.

11. Baghdad Bob: I trust Saddam Hussein

[Hawkeye-X]

12. Time to remove Allen and replace him w/ someone who's not a BP crony

I wouldn't trust Hayward with a fucking penny.

[unhappycamper]

13. 5 will get you 10 Thad is gonna be on the BP Board of Directors right after he retires.

It's the American way. :evilfrown:

[FLPanhandle]

14. and to think there were people here defending him just a couple of days ago.

He needs to be court-martialed and his retirement pay canceled (not that he'll need it with that BP job waiting for him).

15. It's called "Honor among Thieves" n/t
