FIRE JOE BARTON!
"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."- Joe Barton
"I apologize for using the term 'shakedown' with regard to yesterday's actions at the White House this morning, and I retract my apology to BP,"
"I regret the impact that my statement this morning implied that BP should not pay for the consequences of their decisions and actions in this incident." - Joe Barton: later that day.
Who's he kidding?
