I Apologize

What's disturbing is that he thinks asking BP to set aside 20 billion over 4 years to meet its financial obligations to cleanup its mess is a shakedown. Tragic.

You're right it is disturbing, Barton's an idiot. I guess this guy forgot about the legal mess getting payment out of Exxon was for the Valdez disaster. Maybe it was the campaign contributions from BP that made him forget. I've got no problem bouncing this guy from the committee, replace him with someone who isn't going to grandstand on stupidity.

I don't know Saden, I think whats really disturbing about this is that its not just Barton that thinks this way. Its alot of other Republicans that think this way too. It was just Barton that had the balls to say it publicly on the house floor.



Its a long clip, but you should check it out. It shows that alot of Republicans side with BP and the Oil Companies. And that to me is more than just disturbing. Its freaking disgusting!
