At the end of last year, with most of his colleagues stuck in Washington for an important Senate session on a Saturday, Sen. James M. Inhofe was in Tulsa getting spurs fastened onto a pair of boots.

“They’re ostrich,” said Inhofe (R-Okla.), the country’s most prominent climate-change denier, referring to his footwear. “Probably some endangered species; I have a reputation to maintain.”

Inhofe could have been wearing Birkenstocks and it wouldn’t have put a dent in his notoriety. The senator cemented his status as public enemy No. 1 for environmentalists long ago, topping it off with his 2012 book on climate change, “The Greatest Hoax.” This year he takes over the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — the panel most associated with climate policy oversight — and says he plans to continue his role as a “one-man truth squad” on the issue.

But I’d concede that if you have descended to this unreadable level of illogic, then you have agreed with nothing. I am not even sure you have disagreed with anything. You have just given us a word salad.

Cute. I'll concede that in my haste to post my comment I did a bad job of editing it.

But I think the point is clear, which is that I have no tolerance for RINO enablers who call me (and those who agree with me) fake conservative leftists because we're done voting for RINOs.

My record of of 603 threads and 20,026 replies since 1998 speaks for itself.

Only seven homes? And he blames his wife? Well, isn’t that special... (in my best ‘church lady’ voice...) What hypocrites. Thanks for sharing gaijin.
