As David Kurtz is reporting over at TPM:
So Joe Barton is "grilling" the energey secretary, Steven Chu. He asks him the big "gotcha" question that he's been marinating in his tiny brain all day. Chu tries his best to answer the kind of question usually dealt with at the level of elementary science education without utterly humiliating Barton, and Barton has the chutzpa to then post a clip of it on youtube claiming he's "puzzled" a noble laureate.
Watch this amazing clip below the fold. Joe Barton manages to humiliate himself in less than 30 seconds, and the whole thing lasts 1 minute and 13 seconds.
Yes, Joe, he was puzzled. Puzzled how anyone as stupid as you could possibly be sitting in congress.
Barton should resign over this, but he's too stupid to even realize how fucking dumb he looks.
