EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

(Joseph Hazelwood is President Bush’s appointee to head up the Alaskan wildlife oil drilling effort. Bush has praised him as "a good man who’ll do a good job." We sat down with him recently for a short chat.)
Ironic Times: This is quite an undertaking, drilling for oil in a delicate natural wilderness like the Alaskan tundra.
Joseph Hazelwood: Yes it is, but I’m confident we can get the job done without harming the environment.
IT: As the point man in this, President Bush has put his trust in you to coordinate a huge effort. Do you think you’re up to the task?
JH: Absolutely. We’ll drill cleanly, without harming one living thing up there.
IT: Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t you the captain of the Exxon Valdiz, the tanker that leaked all that oil?
JH: I can’t recall. I don’t think so.
IT: That wasn’t you?
JH: No, no, I don’t believe so.
IT: Well, thank you for talking to us, and being so reassuring.
JH: My pleasure.
