Jim Inhofe is a small-plane-flying, global-warming-denying senator. And now he’s got a gavel

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.

I live in Oklahoma I see the weather change everyday, sometimes twice in the same day.

And yes I voted for Inhofe :)

“I believe that is/was Streisand’s cottage at the beach”

Yep, I believe that is her get away pad.

That’s what VJ & zero are doing since they were refused any face-time in Paris: ginning up what they think is the last shred they have with their base that turned out against them last November.

Their jig is up: now they have to accelerate the destruction.

Are there any mainstream journalists who aren’t AGW kool aid drinkers? Or big government Marxists?

[doberville]

That looks amazingly similar to Barbra Streisand’s pad in California!

While Leftists jockey for position in the minority, it will be interesting to see how much serious drug damage has been done to their tiny minds over recent years.

Yeah, well Jugears Obama flies all over the country and the world on a 747 that burns thousands of gallons of jet fuel, belches plenty of carbon into the atmosphere and he BELIEVES in climate change/global warming. (despite the having the biggest carbon footprint imaginable...)

And now he’s got a pen and a phone.

You’re worried about Inhofe, WashPo? Sheesh...

[Norm Lenhart]

Of course they didn’t. Thats ridiculous to assert. Everyone knows they couldn’t adapt to SUV diesel fumes and choked to death.

[Impy]

Small-plane-flying? What is the relevance of this? Are those scum rooting for a crash?

[Norm Lenhart]

He careens through the house chasing the massuse yelling “Where’s my happy ending? My Chakra! My Chackra!”

Ben Terris, so Senator Jim Inhofe flys a small plane and he doesn't believe in this global warming BS so he is attacked by you. While Al Gore flys a 727 and that is OK because he believes the BS. So if Inhofe decides to go with the BS and buy a 777 he'll be OK?

Ben, a brain damaged one celled animal is smarter than you.

[Hot Tabasco]

I’d like the Compost to produce one quote where he denies that the climate changes.

They did, Read his book: “The Greatest Hoax.”

[Norm Lenhart]

Is that a trick question?

[ExCTCitizen]

Gary Larson had some great cartoons.

[Regulator]

LOL

[ifinnegan]

Yes.

They are really trying to equate Climate Denier with such extremes as Holocaust Denier.
