GOP FOOD FIGHT

Rep. Joe Barton (R- Capitalist Pigs) apologized to the BP execs:
"I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday," Barton said. "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."

This prompted Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FLA) to demand that Barton step down from the the Energy and Commerce Committee and has outraged other GOP Reps from the most affected states.
