Who is this mutherfucking republican talking to Tony Hayward????

[xultar]

He accused Obama of shaking down BP. I want to stick my foot so far up his ass I get the glue from his toupee on my laces.

[Webster Green]

1. Repuke Joe Barton.

Ranking member on the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

Called the 20 billion a "shakedown".

What a dick!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

2. Unbelievable - 20 billion dollar shakedown by the WH

Joe Barton r-Tx

[golddigger]

3. One that is going to get a sizable

political campaign contribution from BP is my guess.

[laughingliberal]

4. Drumming up pity for BP? Yeah, that'll work. Lol. nt

[TheKentuckian]

5. Barton (POS-Texas)

What an ungodly turd!!!

Corporations first he says! Let the harmed languish in court and wait for hearings!!!

The dumpsterfuck is more worried about BP getting "shookdown" than the ruined lives and the environmental damage.
I reckon the way Valdez went down is good enough for him.

He just made Hayward look like a saint.

[tnlefty]

22. I have to disagree. Barton made himself look like an American

hating (those harmed) weasel, POS, and I don't think there is any way to make Hayward look like a saint.:)

Rep. Markey just slapped Barton down and the camera showed Barton red faced, like a red faced, evil Porky Pig.

[Riley18]

6. Treasonous remarks. I wanted call him an oil prostitute, but don't want to

insult prostitutes.

[boomerbust]

7. Apoligized to BP

For lack of due process and being shaken down by Obama and Holder. Texas Republican SCUM. Filthy low down cocksucking conservative piece of human excrement.

[blogslut]

8. It's the talking point for the elephant party

While I apologize for my state (Joe Barton), I want the GOP to continue along this path for it surely leads to their downfall.

[Webster Green]

17. I can't imagine how this tactic will work out well for the GOP.

Another repuke up now. Will he apologize to Tony?

[blogslut]

20. Here's the lineup

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Energy_and_Commerce#Members.2C_111th_Congress

I can envision some of those members on the minority side perfectly willing to chew show leather today.

BONUS! Anthony Weiner is on this committee. That should be interesting.

[tammywammy]

9. That would be my lovely representative Barton

Please, help us get rid of Barton. http://www.cozadforcongress.com/

[ejpoeta]

14. when is he up for reelection?

[tammywammy]

18. He's a Representative in Congress, so he has the standard 2 year term

I posted a link to David Cozad's page, that's who's running against him.

[lunatica]

10. He'll change his tune when the gushing oil hits the Texas coast

Which it will eventually.

[tammywammy]

19. Doubtful, Barton's an ass through and through. n/t

[City Lights]

11. I want to know who the fuck these gopfuckers think should pay!

The US taxpayers? Who? Fuck their theatrics!

[ejpoeta]

16. privatize profits, nationalize liability.

[PearliePoo2]

26. There ya go!

+1
It's the RePug way.
And the stupid sheeple will vote against their own interests every time.

[Catshrink]

12. That's they're talking point: shakedown Chicago style

Poor BP :cry:

Obama's a thug, a homie from the streets of Chicago

Dems need to do some messaging here - who's side is the GOP on? That of the careless and criminal oil company or those whose lives are disrupted by that carelessness?

[Lil Missy]

13. What the hell is wrong with paying for damage you cause??

[HughMoran]

15. Ass kissing Republican who cares abotu money more than people

Typical Republican ass hole.

[glinda]

21. It as always been about Oil, Coal and Big Pharma for these people.

[Beetwasher]

23. Are You Kidding Me??? I Could KISS Him!!!

They Repubs are beyond stupid to take this approach. I've never seen anything so myopically stupid in my life.

[unblock]

24. i take issue with the "m-----f------" in your subject line

because it's redundant.

:evilgrin:

[umeyer]

25. Barton is a worthless piece of garbage
