So Much for Bi-Partisanship

James Inhofe: asshole. I met his opponent, Andrew Rice, in Tahlequah over Labor Day Weekend. Donate to him if this kind of crap (not to mention Grand Theft Flag) pisses you the hell off.

John Cornyn...

...now as stupid and intellectually dishonest as James Inhofe. And that's saying something.

GORE PWNS BARTON

Film at Eleven! Cong. Joe Barton continues to solidify his position as the single biggest wanker in the entire Texas Delegation. A rare combination of nerdy, ignorant, petty and self-important, Smokey Joe has gotten so silly and shrill that he is rapidly descending into self-parody. He is, in fact, the William Shatner of Congress, only less funny. I wish I had a link to Gore's testimony in the Senate, when Senator Barbara Boxer shot down Senator James Inhofe when he tried to take control of the hearing with the devastating line, "Elections have consequences."



UPDATE: Blognonymous has the video of Barbara Boxer smacking down James Inhofe.

Conservative Hypocrisy Watch

I could probably do an entire separate blog on this topic alone. In our latest installment, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, an odious little man previously known for fighting tooth-and-nail against anything even remotely resembling campaign finance reform, has now apparently learned how to stop worrying and love the filibuster. Same goes for James Inhofe, a right-wing troglodyte from Oklahoma, who now threatens to deploy the F-Bomb against any efforts to reduce global warming. Inhofe previously was known for trying to gut Indian sovereignty in order to prevent tribes from protecting the environment.

UPDATE: Senator John Warner of Virginia, whose thinking has actually left the Middle Ages, leapt the Renaissance and reached the Enlightenment, will challenge crackpot James Inhofe for the post of Ranking Member on the Environment and Public Works Committee. Good on him.

Alert the Rhetoric Police!

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) compared those who support the overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is real and is caused in large part by human activity to Nazis. Yes, that's right. Because, you know, Hitler was totally Green. Hermann Goring was a fanatic for recycling.
Once again, I urge Congress to pass a comprehensive ban on the use of overblown Nazi references in contemporary political speech.
