Barton Drops Out Of Leadership Race
By Vince Leibowitz on Nov 16, 2006 in Texas Congressional Delegation
Had I had the energy (no pun intended), I could have predicted this would have happened:
…Congressman Joe Barton has withdrawn from the House Leadership race after John Boehner had it made clear to Barton that should Boehner win he would strip Barton of his ranking position on the Energy & Commerce Committee.
Smoky Joe is quite simply too polarizing to be in the leadership, plain and simple…especially when they are trying to undergo a makeover so that Republicans aren’t all compared to Hot Tub Tom and Tom Foley.
