My favorite quote on Barton was in the Economist which profiled him in its "Profiles In Stupidity" column:

"We've chronicled Mr Barton's stupidity (there really is no other word for it) before. Anyone looking for exhibit A in what's wrong with the Republican Party should start with the good congressman...

Please don't get me wrong, it's not simply that Mr Barton is a climate-change sceptic. There are plenty of those and some make decent arguments against moving ahead with measures to control emissions. The problem with Mr Barton is that he is wholly uninterested in the science and statistics of the global warming debate. He is about as curious as a dead cat, as is his colleague in the Senate, James Inhofe."

That pretty much sums this guy up!

Oh how I wish we could return to a more utopian time before CO2 emissions by man caused such things as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and severe drought. Before
global warming brought about disasters like famine, disease, divorce, larger snakes, larger spiders, kidney stones and the nearly 600 items on this list: http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm.

Having said that, I now feel compelled to suggest the following as required viewing, listening, and reading before the conference in Copenhagen:

Can't a member be banned from the chamber for making a mockery of the body?

Is this going to be like their budget that didn't have any numbers in it?

Do they want to remain in the minority for the next 50 years?

I think what he's trying to do is get the committee to have to vote 450 times on eavh of these crazy amendments, some of which, if you look at the whole list, are non starters even for his own party, such as cutting corporate tax exemptions… He's just trying to drag this thing on until public opinion over the House drops from 18% approval to 5% approval.
