Man, this guy makes Palin look like a rocket surgeon. Looks like the Republicans have found their next presidential candidate.

What is it about Republican governors? They're either appearing in interviews with a blood-soaked cletus geeking turkeys in the background, or they're lying about hiking the Appalachian Trail, or they're honoring the Confederate States of America while ignoring slavery, or they're entertaining the treasonous option of state secession, or they're b****ing about government stimulus money one minute, then posing with giant stimulus checks the next minute.

And now there's Haley Barbour, who said this week about the $20 billion escrow fund to compensate victims of the oil spill:

"It bothers me to talk about causing an escrow to be made, uh, which will, which makes it less likely that they'll make the income that they need to pay us."

Well, at least he was honest. There's that if nothing else.

Not a defense of this dude, just a follow up statement clarifying some of what he said:

Right, well, I thought that they were talking about taking $20 billion from BP all at once and my fear was if you took $20 billion from them all at once, put it in an escrow account then they wouldn’t have the working capital to generate the revenue to pay us. I think the President was smart, and I congratulate him and BP that they reached an agreement on. Instead of $20 billion taken out of that working capital all at once, it’s actually going to be $5 billion this year, $5 billion the next year, $5 billion the following year and $5 billion the fourth year.


ETA: NOW i think he's hit a new level of stupid.

Funny thing is Barbour has been going around the news circuits defending Obama, so ironic liberals think he's stupid LOL!

Well, he did call Obama 'smart', which makes Barbour un-smart. :~ohyah!:

True, which is making the typical defender of Obama unsure of how to respond :rofl:
