James Inhofe has completely lost his mind
I'm so sorry Oklahoma

"In accusing the U.N. of environmental brainwashing at the Nairobi conference, Inhofe held up a of "Tore and the Town on Thin Ice," a children's book he said was distributed at the gathering.

He said the book, the tale of a fictional young Arctic villager who becomes aware of global warming when his dogsled crashes through thinning ice, relies on disputed science.

"This is paid for by the United Nations and it's brainwashing little kids," Inhofe said.

Inhofe did not attend the Nairobi meeting but said some of his staff did.

"What we learned in Nairobi is ... that the real focus has little to do with the fate of the planet and more to do with money -- who has it and who wants it," he said.

Inhofe will be the ranking Republican on the environment committee when the newly elected Democratic majority takes power in January. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat with long-standing environmental credentials, will chair the committee.

Boxer and two other Democrats wrote a letter to Bush on Wednesday urging him to fight global warming by putting mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions."

Thank God Boxer's gunna boot his ass out!

1. He lost it a long time ago
I'm so glad that Barbara Boxer is becoming the chair, a person with some sense.

10. Conservatives never do well with power
Because conservatism is a fear based mindset, the overwhelming panic is triggered when anything threatens their power position. They overreact to everything and yes, they quickly become unhinged.

2. Lost his mind a long, long time ago.
This isn't news. But his recent rantings sure do indicate that his madness may have taken a dramatic change for the worse.

I suggest this:

4. Did he have one to lose?
"Bless his heart," as my grandmother would have said, shaking her head condescendingly. "That boy ain't right."

7. QUESTION: Why is he so adamantly against the idea of global warming?
He's completely irrational on this topic. It's as if he's taking it personally. Doesn't this idiot realize that his children and grandchildren would suffer the consequences of our inaction? Even if he truly believes that the science isn't sound, wouldn't it be better to err on the side of caution?? Even if the planet wasn't getting warmer, wouldn't it be a good idea to cut down on pollution and greenhouse gases simply to keep our soil, water and air clean so people would be healthier? Why is he so vehemently opposed to the idea? :shrug:

12. Oklahoma ...

Oil.

His backers are oil people.

Oil addiction contributes to global warming. Methods of addressing global warming assault is backers, and thus his pocket. He *does* take it personally.

Besides, he's stupid...not ignorant, stupid.

14. Thank god he's on his way out...
He called global warming 'the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on the American people.'
He has damaged the cause of protecting the planet from global warming SO MUCH, and Mother Nature couldn't be happier to hear that he will no longer be the man in charge.
Ugh.
Loathe him.
:kick:
