Sure, Joe Barton proved himself an idiot today. And made idiots of all the Texas Sixth District residents who voted for him. But even though he’s getting all the headlines, he’s hardly alone. The important element of today’s story is that everything he said simply parrots what the Republican study committee, which represents the two-third of Republican members of congress, published yesterday. Keith Olbermann says it much better than I can.

Maybe this disaster will wake people up to the fact that the Republican leadership will say or do anything to grab power. They don’t care about ethics or ideology. It’s all about who can give them the biggest contributions and taking the opposite position of the Democrats. They don’t care if opposing means lining up with pure evil.
