Republican congressman Joe Barton actually apologized to BP for the US government holding them responsible for the largest offshore spill in U.S. history because they simply chose profit over safety.

Barton: I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation could be subject to what I would characterize as a shakedown. In this case a $20 billion shakedown.

Then Barton told BP’s Hayward: “I apologize.”

After realizing that he was making himself seriously unpopular, however, he… apologized for the apology. People (his party, Joe Biden, and others) had to point this out to him, of course, because the idiot is so out of touch he couldn’t find his ass with both hands and even then his head might get in the way.

But let’s not stop at apologizing to BP, he’s also apologized to AT&T and Comcast now (he must be catholic).
