This is a great ratfuck by the GOP. Hilarious interview.

"I just ran a good old fashioned campaign."

Or it could be that the Dems just nominated a dumbass.

Remember, the is the South Carolina GOP we're talking about here.   It's the party of Congressmen who shout "you lie", Governors that like long walks on the Appalachian Trail, and State Senators who called a Sikh woman a "raghead" and compared her to the Manchurian Candidate.

There's no way in hell they'd be able to pull something like this off.

Good points all, you're probably right. Unless...all of the incidents you mentioned were part of a long con setting up this epic triple-reverse ratfuck?

Of course, it sounded like "inanhh ahprashh raaafuuu."

Given the pedigree of those public servants, maybe this guy isn't so bad after all.  I hope this long con goes on through the Summer.

Like the epic 47 year conspiracy to get a Kenyan Muslim Nazi Socialist as President?

Because, that's still the tops in terms of all ratfucks.

MONROE, Ohio – A six-story statue of Jesus Christ was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers Tuesday.

Joe Barton apologizes to BP. After all they've been through it's the least he could do.

I'm speaking now totally for myself, I'm not speaking for the Republican Party, I'm not speaking for anybody in the House of Representatives, but myself. But I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday.

So I'm only speaking for myself, I'm not speaking for anybody else. But I apologize. 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 to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize.

Why would he say something so stupid?  Unless...

538 has the answer:

Making matters worse for Barton is the identity of the top contributor to his election campaigns. Since 1989, it has been the company Anadarko Petroleum, from which he's received $56,500 in PAC donations and another $90,000 in individual contributions.

Anadarko has been making a lot of news lately, and none of it is good: they're a 25 percent partner in the Macondo Prospect, which was the site of the Deepwater Horizon explosion that is causing oil to spill into the Gulf of Mexico. Anadarko has also been sent a bill by BP and asked to pay its share of the cleanup costs.

BP, for getting our ocean all mixed up in your oil.

The bottom line from what follows is this:

Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews. Gays in the military is an experiment that has been tried and found disastrously and tragically wanting. Maybe it's time for Congress to learn a lesson from history.

The leftwing blogosphere has gone berzerko over comments I made on my radio program this week regarding Adolph Hitler's homosexuality and the savage homosexuality of his Storm Troopers.

At this point, an excerpt of my remarks is now on YouTube and has been referred to by the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, and the Guardian in the U.K.

I have been accused of sinking to new lows and excoriated for rank homophobia.

The problem for my critics, however, is that I'm right.

...

Mr. Hutchins, your rebuttal?

Shakedowns of this kind have a long and undistinguished history. And let's acknowledge that they aren't partisan, or even American, in nature. Republican presidents have engaged in similar tactics, like the so-called "voluntary restraint agreement" the Reagan administration reached with Japanese automobile exporters. During the westward expansion of the United States, the federal government "negotiated" with sovereign Indian nations in a similar spirit. European powers engaged in a truly extraordinary shakedown of China during the 19th century, forcing a then-vulnerable empire to accept the spread of opium and surrender treaty ports like Hong Kong. Resentment of the West lingers still.

http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/stimulus/2010/jun/19/bp-shakedown/

Let me be clear about something - BP must pay. They've created an environmental disaster (sorry, Mr. President, but it's probably not the biggest in American history - look up the dust bowl sometime) that will probably devastate economic and natural life in the Gulf of Mexico for years and years. I don't think $20 billion plus clean-up costs is too much to demand. It might in fact be too little. If BP cut corners on safety and if the cut corners greatly increased the probability of this disaster, it deserves every legal penalty we can throw at it. But let's not forget that a prostitute can be raped, church-going family men can commit rape, and you're more likely to get away with rape if everyone thinks the victim deserves it.  A corporate vandal can be shaken down, our saintly president can probably manage a pretty good shakedown, and he's likely to get away with it if everyone thinks the victim deserves it.
