Republican Joe Barton's THIRD thoughts and apology to BP
After having second thoughts on my original apology, I have had third thoughts on this and would appreciate if BP would accept them.

We Republicans do apologize on behalf of these American small people who were so mean to you? Republicans believe strongly in the unfettered rights of corporations and CEOs (even foreign ones) above the rights of the "little or small people". The US Constitution erroneously and recklessly gives them rights and refers to them as "We the People". There is no "We the People" in our Party, only CEOs, capitalists and corporations.

We fully support the claim that it was not your fault, and that these people on the Gulf are miffed over nothing. They are greedy too because they want to recover damages and wages, and it was just an accident. They should be more accepting and forgiving because your corporation employs tens of thousands.

We sympathize with the root problem. You wanted to drill the well as cheaply as possible and we understand how that is an acceptable priority. @#$t happens and they shouldn't blame you. You represent everything that is morally right with the concept of a capitalist elite world that we so dearly worship.

These ignorant uneducated people, and they are just people (and small people at that), should have been groveling at your feet instead of insulting and impugning your integrity.

Yours truly,

Joe Barton and the GOP establishment

(I'm almost sure he said this ;-))

1. Nobody liked this?
OK it was a statement(not spoof) on Joe Barton and Republican culture. The Repubs if truth were known really liked what Barton said first, and then they apologized for political reasons, but this is what they really thought.

Yeah I maybe the writeup was kinda stupid.
