Then they cut to a very angry (at BP) storekeeper in the Gulf.

Good on ABC News. Good on that Detroit teevee station.

The video of Barton's rant needs to go viral.

3. I hope this is the last straw.

7. I'd put a hundred dollars on that

if bookies took those sorts of bets.

6. But, but, but Pat Buchanan said on MSNBC that

what Barton said "took political courage".

What pieces of crap these people are.
