Joe Barton is dumber than you thought possible

Top Republican on House energy committee: “when it’s hot we get in the shade” 1

I don’t think most people appreciate the level of stupidity that people in Congress consume and pass on every day. Witness this, the opening statement of Joe Barton (R-Tx.) at a hearing today on climate adaptation. It begins with the immortal tautology: “Adapting is a common way for people to adapt to their environment.”
