1. Perfect! nt

2. Good response

Too bad DUers don't buy him as a true environmentalist from people who are usually Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives just because the bill is imperfect (Lieberman's name is on it, so that is probably why the bill gets slammed too).

9. I always question "Forced Apologies"/ No matter who offers them

a Democrat or Republican, how sincere is it???

[ProSense]

10. Apologies aren't always forced, and they're not all insincere

That being said, after Barton's silly spewage against holding BP accountable and similar comments from other Republicans, there isn't a fraction of an ounce of sincerity in his retraction.

11. Didn't folks say, in 2004, that he had no sense of...

...humor, or something like that? :sarcasm: He's hilarious!! :7

12. I thought barton said "misconstructed"..but I've read it both ways.

<snip>

Shortly after Rep. Joe Barton's (R-Texas) half-hearted walk-back -- he wished to "apologize for that misconstruction" -- White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs turned to Twitter to say, "MICONSTRUCTED?!" Less than a half-hour later, Gibbs tweeted again: "Who would the GOP put in charge of overseeing the energy industry & Big Oil if they won control of Congress? Yup, u guessed it - JOE BARTON."
