“Elections Have Consequences”
During yesterday's hearings on global warming, James Inhofe, the former Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, was questioning Vice President Al Gore, who had been invited to testify before the Committee concerning various elements of global warming discussed in his Oscar-award winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
As he apparently did not like the answers he was getting, Inhofe attempted to "shut down" the Vice President, claiming that he didn't want to hear the answers because he thought the responses would take "too much time."
Watch this clip of Inhofe getting slapped down by Senator Barbara Boxer, who now chairs the committee. In particular, pay attention to the look of utter contempt on his face at the end of the clip as he tries to "laugh off" the whole situation.
Now that is a better reason to reconnect my cable TV than any other mindless blather the networks and cable channels hurl out each day like so much projectile vomit.
It's like an idea for a new Mastercard commercial:
- Buying an election = Billions of dollars in soft money contributions.
- Conducting an unnecessary war to repay tenfold the evil old cronies at Haliburton, Exxon, and elsewhere who helped buy your seat of power. = 24,100 U.S. troops wounded in action, 3000 U.S. troops killed in action, and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis killed in ensuing civil war.
- Losing mid-term Congressional elections after having fucked up the country worse than a five (5) year old with downs syndrome and then getting your ass handed to you on a platter on live TV = PRICELESS.
Your technique is strong. Did you train at Shao Ling temple?
There’s nothing more entertaining/sickening than the fact that Inhofe believes global warming to be a giant hoax — and insists that “God would never destroy his people.”
