Mr. HENDRIX: You know, for a Jesuit seminarian who spent most of his seminary career as a missionary in the poorest parts of the world, it's probably the most violent, harsh thing he's ever said.
I think it played very, very well in his district. You could hardly go too far in villainizing BP down in New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana.
I don't think it was a calculated comment. He says it was not. He said it was born out of the frustration that he and everyone else in the area felt at the slow pace of the recovery in plugging the well.
But it served him well, I think. It put him where a politician needs to be in that part of the country, which was firmly on the side of, you know, the little guys against the big oil corporation.
