That has nothing to do with this statement
I don't know if he cares about the people of BP. I do know he cares about Heshy Tischler. When the #1 name out of your mouth is your own, altruism is probably not your priority. Unless you're Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk. And I'm pretty sure he didn't have an Elimelech Show at 9 p.m.
ETA: or was it Reb Zushe of Anipoli? I forget which one spoke in third person.
