Inhofe may return to Senate environment panel.
E&E reports, “Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) dropped his bid yesterday for the ranking member spot on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, leaving the door open for Sen. James Inhofe (Okla.) to claim the position without opposition.” The position will give Inhofe a platform to continue claiming global warming is the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”

How many times will Boxer cut off debate just before Inhofe has a chance to bloviate before Inhofe has a melt-down? I’m guessing two or three times.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:54 pmMy understanding is that Inhofe would have remained on that committee anyway even though he wouldn’t have been the minority ranking member. He needs to be defeated in 2008!
December 15th, 2006 at 2:09 pmInhofe thinks there isn’t enough evidence to support climate change theory but believes 100% that some magic man in the sky made everything, controls everything, and punishes each individual that doesn’t live to honor him with eternal torture by flame, but he loves us.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:12 pmGive Inhofe some more rope. He’s a few rants away from hanging himself.

December 15th, 2006 at 2:15 pmUnfortunately for we rational creatures, he has a lot of company.
it is a hoax
December 15th, 2006 at 2:17 pmKevin: “it is a hoax”
Explain that to the Inuits and the polar bears.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:27 pmGod is a hoax.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:29 pmit is a hoax
Comment by Kevin
Inhofe is not really returning to the Environmental Committee? Weird hoax but thank the stars he isn’t.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:37 pmInhofe is right, of course, it is a big media hoax. Haven’t all of you seen the pictures of liberal journalists using blow torches to melt arctic icesheets? Or using campfires and blowdryers to melt the glaciers in Patagonia? Man, you lefty-science-believing hippies are so gullible! You probably even think that people set foot on the moon!
December 15th, 2006 at 2:39 pmInhofe must have received an anonymous envelope on his doorstep with a nice wad of greenbacks and a note with new instructions.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:41 pmAdmin, thanks for fixing the headline, my hair was standing on end…
December 15th, 2006 at 2:48 pmHe should give his “hoax” speech on top of a melting glacier. Near the edge.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:49 pmI want Inhofe on this committee as much as I want Santorum to get the job with FOX —- very, very much. :)
December 15th, 2006 at 2:49 pmInhofe is a hoax of a senator.
He is also bought and paid for by the oil and gas industry and their lobbyists.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:50 pmWarner must have one big smelly skeleton in his closet… he dropped all considerations he might run for President some month or so ago, now he’s dropping off of a ranking position on this committee…………
December 15th, 2006 at 2:51 pmWhy? Can’t the majority party be in control of this situation?
December 15th, 2006 at 2:54 pmWhy? Can’t the majority party be in control of this situation?

Barbara Boxer will be in control of this committee. This is simply the Repubs deciding who their ranking member will be — still a minority position. I’m looking forward to Boxer smacking down Inhofe, and the inevitable temper tantrum. :)
December 15th, 2006 at 3:00 pmThanks Zooey for clearing that up for me. See I told you that you were helpful. Yeah, I am so interested in how this will play out for the Inbread Oky, James “No gays in my family” Inhofe.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:04 pmThis just in:
Sen. James Inhofe caught with a tranny hooker, he said he was helping out he less advantaged, more at 10.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:12 pmI am so interested in how this will play out for the Inbread Oky, James “No gays in my family†Inhofe.

No gays…but ‘tards a dozen
December 15th, 2006 at 3:16 pm*sniff* That Sen Inhofe is so generous to disadvantaged trannies.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:18 pmBush at Rumsfeld’s goobye party: “We’ve been through war together,” the president said. “We have shared some of the most challenging moments in our nation’s history.”
What a slap in the face to all the servicemen that actually participate in war, not just desk jockey them.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:19 pmNo, no wait, Sen. Inhofe caught performing necrophilic-beastiality, with roadkill. Ewwww.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:20 pmCan you tell how much I like the good Senator?
December 15th, 2006 at 3:21 pmEwwww.

OMFG, that is so hilariously sick…
December 15th, 2006 at 3:25 pmThank you very much, I’ll be here through next week…
December 15th, 2006 at 3:30 pmKeep it up, you’ll get deleted. :)
December 15th, 2006 at 3:34 pmKeep it up, you’ll get deleted. :)
Comment by Zooey
Coming from you, that’s a real possibility now isn’t it? :)
December 15th, 2006 at 3:36 pmNext summer, visit The James Inhofe Memorial Underwater Preserve.. only 500 (nautical) miles due east of Denver!
December 15th, 2006 at 3:43 pmI thought the greatest hoax was making people believe Bush was a cowboy.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:52 pmAl Gore the savior of the world.
Help us out of this quagmire. Oh enlightened one save us before it is too late. Our doomsday has arrived, we are hopeless. The future of the universe depends on Al Gore.
I have prayed and fasted that the chosen one would come.
Superhero Al Gore has already saved the planet once when he was vice president.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:03 pm“Can’t you guys keep this planet CO2 free for 10 minutes? I feel like the maid.”
He must return as President to clean up the world again.
No the greatest hoax is bull shit bush is human….I think he is realy a poorly programed robot…..Cheney’s manufactured son.. ..Blessings
December 15th, 2006 at 4:06 pmWarner must not have been willing to go all the way for Exxon-Mobil and damage his own credibility. Some big money players were operating behind the scenes to get him to back down you can be sure of that.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:12 pmFlaco is drunk again.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:14 pmWho decides who sits on these boards? I think someone that gets his “facts” from a science-fiction writer has no business being on a scientific review panel.
Lets we appoint Tom Cruise and John Travolta to Bush’s “Faith Based Clinical Depression Research Group”.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:23 pmGood.

December 15th, 2006 at 4:41 pmPULEEEZE!!!
Can’t the good sheeple of Oklahoma find anyone with a triple digit IQ and their nose out of the oil industries ass to vote for? At least try your best in ‘08, will you?
December 15th, 2006 at 5:03 pm[…] Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), the outgoing chairman of the Senate environment committee, calls climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” But the facts about global warming are clear, and as ClimateProgress notes, the evidence is right in Inhofe’s backyard.
