I've always liked Inhofe a lot, since his 1999 floor speech on China, all about Clinton giving away our nuclear secrets.
Interestingly, very shortly after that, he lost a propeller on his private plane while he was flying it and the FBI investigated. Here's an old FR thread about it.
I sure do remember the plane near accident. It sounded like someone unbolted his propeller, but being an experienced pilot, Inhofe landed it safely. And he was about the only senator that bothered to try to expose Clinton.
