Representative Joe Barton to BP: Our Bad

In an impressive judo-like maneuver, Republican representative Joe Barton apologized to BP executives today while they were testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee about the oil spill which was their fault to begin with. According to Barton:

"I'm not speaking for anybody in the House of Representatives but myself, but I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday. I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown. In this case a $20 billion shakedown.... I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words — amounts to a shakedown, so I apologize."


So to recap, Barton apologized to BP because the US government was mean to them after BP caused the one of the worst environmental catastrophes in the history of the world. Really, that’s the position he decided to take on this tragedy.

Shortly afterwards, Barton apologized to Adolf Hitler for the way the US Government treated Germany during World War II and Osama Bin Laden for the fact that the US tried to hunt him down and capture him after September 11th.
