A GOP counter-delegation is forming to undermine the Obama administration's work on an international climate change agreement in Copenhagen, warning that the president is poised to make commitments he can't keep and drawing heightened attention to controversial leaked e-mails.

At least a half-dozen Republican senators and representatives are planning to head to Denmark next week, as part of the overall U.S. congressional delegation, which includes plenty of Democrats as well.
But the Republicans have a markedly different agenda.
"Truth squad," is how Sen. Jim Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey described the GOP team. He called the Democratic visitors to the conference the "doom squad."
The Oklahoma Republican and ardent global warming skeptic plans to head to Denmark along with Sens. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and John Barrasso of Wyoming. On the House side, Reps. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, Joe Barton of Texas and Darrell Issa of California are tentatively planning to attend.

Hell yes! If they’re calling us, “deniers” we might as well give it back to them!
Half a dozen? That’s it?
Gee they get more going on fact finding to North Korea.

Al Gore accidently called me from a pay phone in Copenhagen last Tuesday night. A mis-dial, I think. When I picked it up I didn’t recognize his voice at first, he sounded so pitiful. He just kept saying “Gee it’s warm here, gee it’s warm here”, like that was supposed to mean something to me, and then he started making a whimpering noise like a dog that’s had its paw mashed by a pickup. Turns out the man wanted someone to come pick him up-—at the Charles Darwin Statue in the center of the local square. Apparently Al and his gang of CRU geniuses got misery-drunk and at the end of the evening they dumped him in front of the statue hoping somebody’d find him. I hung up on him. There was no way I was going to hop a plane to Denmark....it’d screw up my carbon credits for a year or more. Sorry about that, Al.

Sarah has the star power for this group of mid level Republicans to get some press.
