Texas GOPer apologizes to BP

Proving that the GOP is owned by BP, even in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, apologized to BP for the White House "Shakedown"

Since Rep. Joe Barton did such a nice job sucking the shit out of Tony Hayward's ass he might be just the thing to help clean up the oil mess in the Gulf.

This soulless corporatist bag-of-dicks should be fired...

Wow, fail video. He didn't apologize and he said it was his personal opinion.

Your video and description is false. Try the truth next time, it serves you better.

I am not really a fan of obama but I think he did the right thing BP would have just hired a hundred lawyers to make sure they would pay as little as possible and as late as possible (if at all). This fucking retard would have realized that if he weren't so busy sucking herpes infested dick. I hope he chokes to death on their jizz and his kids blow their brains out

@Christopher0312 I definitely think we here in the lone star state should should 'shit'cede all over each politician's face!

OMG I just did the biggest, smelliest, longest fart!! You wouldn't believe it!!! If I could sit my a.. on the oil spill and fart I 100% sure I could stop the leak!! I would blow a load in the hole and it would plug like cement! I would than have all politicians inspect the patch work with the hope that they would "all" kick off!! Then the world would be a better place!!

@kmsmith1210 Yeah, I know what you mean. There are smart people and there are idiots in every state. Unfortunately, extremism is the color Texas is currently being painted, because every time you hear about Texas, it's because a wingnut politician has said something ridiculous - be it about seceeding from the Union, apologizing to BP, threatening to adopt an immigation law like Arizona's, or whatever. Your Governor is making the state into a laughingstock.

Is this guy Japanese? Is he alien?

@ZForce33 I have lived in Texas for 12-years now, and I've met quite a few idiots...but I've met quite a few idiots starting from the West Coast all the way to the East Coast where I'm from. There's a lot of moderate Republicans here in Texas that are embarrassed by the loud, rabid Tea Party Neo Cons. Texas does have quite a bit of people who possess the ability to THINK.

@kmsmith1210 ^.^ Thnx.

I can't help but be pissed off when what used to be a good party - the GOP - has decided to focus on getting big business protection from people instead of the other way around. If governments should do anything to big businesses, it's to make sure they're not hurting people (much less destroying environments which we rely on for food) - which reminds me to give a specific "fuck you dude" to the former MMG "workers"....

“If the G.O.P. wins back the House, Barton is the guy who could be in charge of regulating the oil industry,” the Democratic National Committee wrote in a fund-raising pitch. “We’re whipping together an ad as fast as possible to make sure voters know exactly whose side Barton and the G.O.P. are on and to demand they stop apologizing to big oil, but we need your help to get it on the air.”
