The Dems already have video out on the guy and Mr. Barton has been told by his GOP superiors to apologize profusely. I am not surprised by his sentiment........the Rs on FAMD have been defending BP for weeks now. What surprises me is that he would express that sentiment in public.

Getting Shit Done, Ctd 17 Jun 2010 A reader writes: Bless their hearts, many of my closest friends are hardcore lefties (and -- dare I say it? -- former humanities majors, sigh), and I love them with all my heart, but omg, they are getting on my last nerve. I'm an old yellow dog Democrat, like my daddy and his daddy before him, and God knows I don't like watching the Gulf of Mexico fill up with crude oil any more than they do, but they need to (a) grow up and stop living out of the emotional, lizard part of their brain all of the time, and (b) stop w HuffPo 24/7. They all huff and puff about Fox News, but nobody seems to get that MSNBC and HuffPo make their money by scaring people and stirring them up every bit as much. For God's sake, get a hobby! Go for a walk! If they're so upset about animals, go volunteer to work at their local wildlife rescue! Okay, it's lunch time. I'm ignoring them now... andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com
