re: #160 Killgore Trout

True. I see nothing terribly unusual with Obama but I’m a little more concerned with what the right is up to these days. The lefty base was pretty nutty under Bush but the crazy seems to be going higher up the food chain with Republicans today. The party leaders are buying into the crazy. I suspect the BP Shakedown talking point is making the Republican leadership very nervous. It’s the kind of thing that could have serious political repercussions and I’m not sure if they can stop it.

Mitch McConnell came out against Barton’s comments today on Fox:

“I couldn’t disagree with Joe Barton more,” McConnell said in an appearance on Fox News Sunday…BP doesn’t need an apology, they need to apologize to us.”

Damage control.
