McConnell Rejects Barton Link

Leader says Dem efforts to tie Barton comment to GOP is "nonsense."

And/But: GOPer says he "couldn't disagree ... more" with Barton comments.

HALPERIN'S TAKE: Republicans are determined not to be cowed by the error of the Gentleman from Texas; now everyone in the politico-media complex will wait for polling data to "determine" what Barton actually means.
