Not sure if you saw this or not.

Representative Joe Barton (R-TX) looked like an idiot this morning. He asks "where does oil come from?" to the Sec of Energy, then gets shown up by someone who actually knows. Chu gives a short, to the point, accurate description of how oil is formed. Barton then gloats on Twitter: "I seemed to have baffled the Energy Sec with basic question - Where does oil come from? Check out the video."

He went so far as to post the video on YouTube himeself under the title: "Energy Secretary puzzled by simple question"

WOW! What a moron. He has no idea what plate tectonics and continental drift are, then say its Energy Secretary who doesnt know anything.
