Republican Sen. James Inhofe

"My recent speeches detailing the embarrassing 100 year history of the media's relentless climate hype and its flip flopping between global cooling and warming scares must have struck a nerve in the old gray lady of the New York Times....A significant portion of my 50 minute Senate floor speech on September 25th was devoted to the New York Times history of swinging between promoting fears of a coming ice age to promoting fears of global warming."

"Now, fast forward to August 19, 2000, the New York Times was so eager to promote fears of the Arctic melting that it cheapened itself with a comical article declaring 'The North Pole is Melting.' The Times reporter, John Noble Wilford, noted that tourists visiting the North Pole saw open water and declared that 'The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water, was more than 50 million years ago.'

"Wow. Pretty convincing stuff -- that is until the Times was forced to retract the story 10 days later and admit nothing unusual had occurred at the pole. No wonder today's Times editorial felt compelled to accuse me of 'a hysteria of doubt,' it was no doubt a clumsy attempt to distract from their climate reporting legacy of hysteria."

Dear NYT;

Could you please be so kind as to provide me with the name of your travel agent you use to visit the North pole? I've inquired everywhere, but can't sem to find any that have a tourist package to the north pole.

Idiots.

Sen. Inhofe is a jewel. No wonder we don't hear much about him. He so succinctly deflates the balloons of liberal BS the MSM must avoid him like a vampire avoids a mirror.
