Oh no, he didn't.

You can't make these things up. You just can't.  BP's Tony Hayward was at a yachting event sponsored by JP Morgan today.

As oil spews in Gulf, BP chief at UK yacht race

LONDON - BP chief executive Tony Hayward, often criticized for being tone-deaf to American concerns about the worst oil spill in U.S. history, took time off Saturday to attend a glitzy yacht race off England's Isle of Wight.

Spokeswoman Sheila Williams said Hayward took a break from overseeing BP efforts to stem the undersea gusher in Gulf of Mexico to watch his boat "Bob" participate in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race.
