Joe Barton: “I want to thank the chairman for his willingness to work with me. Before I yield back, I just want to let the country…”

That's hard to stomach. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there wasn't a general agreement that your company has discriminated against conservatives, most of whom happen to be Republican.

You can tell that you have been president of a national organization. I am throwing you softballs, and you are being very ecumenical.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.

Truth is a powerful drug. Use it sparingly.
