This morning after watching Joe Barton's tongue licking of BP's Tony Hayward, I felt dirty. I needed a shower to wash away the filth. It was the worst showing of public ass-kissing in modern history. And I was reminded these Republicans support tea bagging especially if one's balls are attached to a big oil CEO.

The exchange reminded me of Lewis Black's "Ball Washer" skit. Perhaps after a career in politics he can get a job washing Hayward's balls.

Many in this country cry out for moral decency. A female teacher was fired because she had a child out of wedlock. Judges refuse to marry interracial couples and offer civil rights to same sex partners. Somehow for some leaving part of our country an environmental disaster and destroying the livelihood of many an "unfortunate accident" and those responsible should not be made accountable. That to me is very much indecent and immoral.

Barton's response to Obama's shakedown of BP is that BP in accordance with the American legal system should have their fair due process. So with that philosophy Mr. Barton we should offer fair due process to the detainees of Guantanamo Bay? Many of those men committed no crimes or atrocities against America and yet they remain in prison. But BP destroyed part of our land. One might say it was corporate terrorism. Freedoms should not lie only for those who can afford it or put money in your back pocket. Freedom should be a right for all men. It is hypocrisy at its finest.

These congressmen were elected to serve the people instead they are in bed with corporations. This is like having a man's bimbo mistress addressing the terms of the divorce settlement. Corporations and BP are only partially to blame. Our government was letting them get away with this for generations or more. And it is also our responsibility as American citizens. Like a wife who has been betrayed, we have turned a blind eye and allowed it to occur. We have continually elected people who care more about the rights of a corporation than the people.

Divorce the politictal bastards in bed with bimbo corporations and elect a new relationship of human decency and civil respect.

 Note: I realize Joe Barton apologized for his apology but that still not excuse him.
