Yesterday, Congressman Joe Barton from Texas' 6th district opened his mouth and made Texans look dumber than Milli Vanilli fans of the early nineties! Thanks alot Congressman Barton for making us Texans look like idiots! For those of you who dont know who Joe Barton is, he is the Congressman from Texas 6th district which is East Texas, click here to learn more about this idiot.
Barely 10 minutes into Thursday's landmark congressional testimony — where BP CEO Tony Hayward and other leading company executives are revisiting the Gulf Coast oil spill before a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee — the first controversial statement has entered the record.
GOP Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking member on the House Energy Committee, made a decisive splash in his opening remarks.A staunch conservative who has a long record of backing oil industry interests, Barton apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward for the "shakedown" the Obama White House pulled on the company. (Barton has received more than $1.5 million in campaign donations from the oil industry, according to Open Secrets, a nonpartisan watchdog group.)
GOP leaders have already began to quickly disclaim 'shakedown' apology
I think Jon Stewart's reaction from last nights The Daily Show best sums up my feeling on Mr. Barton. Let me know what you think?
