Rep. Joe Barton - Geological Retard

Rep. Joe Barton (R - Texas) "stumps" Energy Secretary Chu with question, 'where did the oil in Alaska comes from?' - or, so he thinks...

"Hey thar mister scientiss...whar did all them oylz cum frum"? I think it's time we started a new meme... LOLGUVERMINTOFFISHULZ! It's like LOLCATZ......only dumber..........and running parts of our country. *coughredstatescough*

This makes me depressed beyond belief.

Their cultural background is so different from us. Understandable, United States is a big country,but we are still living in the same country, and two people living in the same country not being able to understand each other on the level of each culture's common sense, is extremely alarming.

Because surely if Rep. Joe Barton were to be questioned about what happened to Peter when he was being crucified he would know the answer, while Dr. Chu may not have a clue.

Peter was offered salvation from crucifixion if he could simply tell the Roman centurion how oil got to Alaska. Unfortunately, he also thought it was continental drift through hundreds of millions of years of geological change. Poor guy.

I was going to ask this question

"I like to bash a religious/right wing nut as much as the next guy, but does Barton actually think things are biblical or is he just asking rhetorical questions in order to create a framework for debate?"

But upon further review, Barton is a "drill here, drill now" Fucktard.

Okay, so this thing is out of context and I'm too lazy to actually research it. My impression, though, is that he's not looking for a "God put the oil there" answer. I think his goal is to suggest that global warming doesn't matter because oil being up there would be a result, in his mind, of it having once been far warmer in that part of the world in the past (since there'd be more things living there).

He's unaware of plate tectonics, which is sad, but it doesn't mean that he's a Bible-thumping Creationist any more than ignorance of the Old Testament turns a Baptist into a scientist.

Ah.. now I see. THIS is why republicans are completely against required testing to hold an office in our country. It's so simple. Why didn't I realize that all along!?!?

Can you tell me how the Earth got here? Wut'n it obvious that at one time it was a lot emptier in the solar system? It wut'n a big bulldozer that we created and moved it here.

So it just drifted together here from stuff floating around in space? I suppose you think it orbits the sun too?

(assumes the laughter is in his favor)

(pats self on back for rendering the scientist speechless)
