Republican Lawmaker Asks Barton To Resign

I guess not all Republicans are going along with Rep. Barton's BP apology. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) is getting downright nasty about it:

I condemn Mr. Barton's statement. Mr. Barton's remarks are out of touch with this tragedy and I feel his comments call into question his judgment and ability to serve in a leadership on the Energy and Commerce Committee. He should step down as Ranking Member of the Committee.

Yes he should. But Congressman Miller should probably have a chat with his Senate colleagues who have been filibustering legislation to remove the liability cap while also voting to continue subsidizing oil companies.

Either way, I suspect Miller will be ripped to shreds on talk radio and Fox News for the next several days.
