Eight More Deep Thoughts from Congressman Joe Barton
Edited on Sat Jun-19-10 12:30 PM by Indianademocrat91
Time did this article today titled: Eight More Deep Thoughts from Congressman Joe Barton

It made me laugh at how stupid a person strung from the rafters of big oil can be.

This one thought stood out to me the most:

2. That said, Barton has used the threat of global warming to combat something he hates even more: wind energy. In a 2009 hearing, Barton implied that wind is a "finite resource" and that harnessing it would "slow the winds down" which would "cause the temperature to go up."

6. Rec.!!! WOW! And he had 7 more thoughts like that? Do people comprehend
how fucking stupid our elected representatives are? Or how bought and paid-for?

This really is a return to the Guilded Age...some day people reading this as history will be apalled that the USA could have sunk this low...IF people are still allowed to read history and still know how to read to begin with...
