Heh. Some GOPers are pissed at Barton.

Republicans, particularly Gulf state lawmakers, are furious at Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and may ask him to cede his job as top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee in the wake of his apology to BP Thursday.

“People are calling for his head,” said a GOP member of the committee.

It’s on Boehner to sort this out, but the Gulf Coast reps can’t be happy with that crap, regardless of what side of the aisle they’re on.
