Does Hitler know yet that Joe Barton apologized to BP?

  Dang, you beat me to it.
  
  Maybe he should just apologize to jack-booted thugs everywhere and call it good.

  Hitler hasn’t made any campaign contributions, so of course he will not be issuing apologies to him.

Barton apologized for his apology, excepting that his original apology did not extend to the Iranians who hold millions of shares of BP stock, which means his second apology now requires a double-dog apology.

Great. Millions done in by a giant lit fart. Shame Emmerich left this one out of “2012.”

I’m glad I don’t have to apologize for Rep. Barton. I don’t live in Ennis.
