Chu seems baffled at having to address Barton's theory-which I think is that the oil was created because it used to be warm in Alaska?-leaving Barton with a grossly smug look on his face. "I just bested a Nobel Laureate," he seems to be thinking. "Me. Joe Barton. I know more about science that ol' Steven Chu." In fact, Joe Barton, your question was too ill informed to even answer.Via TPM
