| Description | Republicans, particularly Gulf state lawmakers, are furious at Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and may ask him to cede his job as top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee in the wake of his apology to BP Thursday.
"People are calling for his head," said a GOP member of the committee.
Talk on the House floor at a Thursday morning vote already centered on the potential fallout of Barton's apology. Some Republicans, led by Miller, are calling for him to lose his status on the committee, but no formal decision has been made.
"It's fair to say there were some people who were very upset," added a GOP leadership aide. |
