That representative Joe Barton (R-TX) is a complete moron.

You see, he publicly apologized to BP for what he called a, “$20 billion shakedown” by the Obama administration in getting the giant oil company to pay into an escrow fund. (He has since recanted)

To my mind, if the Dems don’t run with this like an overpaid wide receiver at the Superbowl, they are morons.
