Live Video (3:30 PM EDT): Questions for BP’s Bob Dudley

Courtesy of the Washington Post, we meet Bob Dudley, the man reporter Steven Mufson dubbed “the human relief well.” His job, says their headline writer, is to “polish [BP's] tarnished image.”

Good luck with that, Bob. But don’t let anyone tell you that your job is impossible. After all, the MythBusters proved that you *can* polish a turd (as they delicately phrased it). But it takes a lot of focus on the task at hand, and also admitting that you’re working with a lot of crap to begin with.
