Boxer Slams Down Inhofe’s Global Warming Filibuster: ‘You Don’t Make The Rules Anymore’
Boxer Slams Down Inhofe’s Global Warming Filibuster: ‘You Don’t Make The Rules Anymore’
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) has said Al Gore is “full of crap” and compared people who believe in global warming to “the Third Reich.” During today’s Senate hearing, Inhofe used a considerable amount of time to attack Gore’s use of carbon offsets and try to convince him to sign a sham “energy ethics pledge.” (Find the real facts on Gore’s energy usage HERE and HERE.)
Inhofe asked Gore for his reaction, but then quickly cut him off saying Gore had taken up too much time. When Gore tried to go on, Inhofe repeatedly interrupted, adding, “I don’t want to be rude, but from now on, I’m going to ask you to respond…in writing.” Inhofe said Gore could respond verbally only if it was a “very brief response.”
Committee chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) finally intervened. “Would you agree to let the Vice President answer your questions?” Inhofe said Gore could respond when he was done talking, but Boxer wouldn’t have it: “No, that isn’t the rule. You’re not making the rules. You used to when you did this. Elections have consequences. So I make the rules.” The hearing audience applauded loudly. Watch it:
Blog for Our Future has a round-up of bloggers’ reactions to Gore’s testimony.
UPDATE: Three more notable videos from Gore’s testimony today are HERE.

That’s exactly why I like Boxer. She’s just nails. They showed her little takedown on CNN. Beautiful.

…the old fashioned way…
March 21st, 2007 at 6:12 pmSlammed by a WOman hahahahahhaahahaa
March 21st, 2007 at 6:12 pmWhen I watched the Roberts and Aliton confirmation hearings, Biden et al were allowed to use up their entire time talking themselves. Why the big change now, Boxer?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:12 pmGood for Boxer. Gore has alot of knowledge. Inhole needs to resign IMO. The world is very close to the tipping point. I just hope they hurry up these hearings and move towards a solution AND implement it ASAP. We need to drop our emissions by at least 30%. Once we have a plan in place,we then need to move towards forcing China, India, and Russia to also reduce their emissions to at least come close to the EU and USA standards. Like I said, we FIRST need to get our hosue in order.
I hope they can pass a bill stating we are planning at least a 30% decrease. Furthermore, I truly hope they choose an alternative and implement it ASAP. We need to work towards getting an alterative available at all US gas stations within the next 2 years. Once we the alterative available at most every gas station, we need to move to increase the tax on all gas. Use that money for more research into inproving alternatives and saving more rainforests/old growth forests. Again, as soon as we have set reductions plans, we need to force China, India, and Russia to comply or the world needs to move to fine every single export from those countries until they get on board.
This problem will not go away and the EU’s and the USA potential reductions are a waste of time without getting those 3 countries to join us.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:14 pmAs with any religion, environmentalism’s Messiah is beyond reproach. Look at the Kwazy Kos Kids response (do I even have to give a profanity warning) to discovering that Al Gore uses as much energy in his mansion (occupied by two people) in one day as the entire continent of Africa uses in a year. First, they worry only on how this information was made public, then they deny it truthfulness, then they completely miss the point and wonder what Drudge’s or the group that did the report’s energy bill is, and then they assert that Gore has done more for global warming than any other person so he’s allowed to waste energy all he wants because he earned it. And, really, isn’t sacrificing modern conveniences for the sake of the environment only for little people and not one as magnificent as Al Gore?
Plus, Gore purchases “carbon offsets”… the plenary indulgence of the environmentalism religion. Yes, Gore does urge others to change their lifestyles while living extravagantly himself, but he has the money to purchase “carbon offsets,” so the liberals don’t see any hypocrisy in that.
Maybe–and I’m just going out on a limb here–those who lack basic logic skills should stay away from issues of science.
I just realized something: Aren’t I basically calling Gore a chickenhawk? I’m pretty much arguing against Gore’s belief in global warming by pointing out that he doesn’t believe in it enough to change his own lifestyle. It is faulty reasoning–one’s argument can easily be correct or incorrect regardless of his or her own actions–but the left-wing loves faulty reasoning so perhaps it our duty to point out that Al Gore is an environmental chickenhawk. We should ignore anything he has to say about global warming until he signs up to fight in Iraq… or something.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:17 pmR2, well spake.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:18 pmridiculous thinkprogress.org, did they report it when Democrats were interrupting individuals they were investigationg during the Plame Senate hearings? did they? and this was just on Friday….or Democrats interrupting Republicans when they were asking questions to Plame that would show that Plame is but a pathetic partisan liberal hack?
of course not…..
the sad part is that you have this poor saps from the left that come and read this thread from thinkpropgress.org and take it as the word of god
once again, left wing hypocrites, if you are going to put this up, make sure you show how Democrats break the hearing rules….i know, i know asking Democrats to be true, honest and fair is too much to ask from them, but we can try, right?
thinkprogress, we should call this website lackofthinkingfromprogressives.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:18 pmThat’s gotta be tough for a southern republican man, to be put in his place by a woman. and the Comment by Boxer: “he {VP gore} knows the rules, here.” Priceless.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:19 pmWhat are the qualifications of Gore to speak on this topic before the U.S. Congress?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:19 pmI wonder why Jeebus didn’t save him from that humiliating moment.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:19 pmOklahomans should be ashamed of their idiotic senator. You know, global warming affects Oklahoma too. Why do you think the tornadoes that rip through your state are so vicious? Inhofe doesn’t give a shit about you, your families, or your state.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:20 pmR2 Great post, with the exception of the last sentence.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:20 pmWe can get the countries on board who are willing and set up an economic boycott against the rest until they comply.
This is a national, nay, global imperative.
Patrice, what are your qualifications for exposing yourself on this site as the buffoon that you are?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:21 pmThe difference, jake,
is that they did not ask a question and then cut off the response because it was not what they wanted to hear.
If Inhofe wants to pontificate, then he should not ask for input simply to cut it off.
He was rude and offensive, plain and simple.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:22 pmIs Boxer a woman? Ummm…interesting science project.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:22 pmHe was invited,and he went past the second grade, unlike you Patrick!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:22 pmOuch. Given what a Neanderthal Inhofe is, getting smacked down like this in public by a woman has got to sting.
I don’t know why the GOP keeps him on this committee. He’s such an embarassment. Plus, this is the man who’s arguably the dumbest member of the Senate now that Rick Santorum’s gone.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:23 pmPatrick1 and howsad……….ha ha ha
March 21st, 2007 at 6:24 pmidiots. Is that the best you trolls can do? Come on. Really? Guess the trolls are slipping right along with their fat right wing bosses……………….good to see. People see through you …don’t you realize this?
I’m asking what the qualifications of the enviromental chickenhawk, Al Gore, to speak on this topic before the U.S. Congress? It seems that he has none.
He should stick to topics he knows, like covering for a reprobate, taking money from the Chi-Coms and losing elections.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:24 pmI’m really intelligent, and I know that Biden is a Senator and Boxer is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and so therefore Boxer couldn’t possibly limit Biden’s time. I also know that the Roberts and Alito (not Aliton) confirmation hearings were done under a Republican majority Senate.

Why didn’t you bring this up the other day then. Why do you have to change the subject on every thread to they did it to.
Its the same on every thread.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:25 pmI was always happy to vote for her. I’m even happier from now.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:26 pmInternational qualifications as Global warming isn’t just a US problem.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:26 pmNow to Boxer ( sweet)
# 9 Your right it must be tough but that’s what happens when your wrong.
I like the respect Boxer gave VP Gore. If Bush hadn’t fixed the elected Gore would have been President. Gore served 8 years as VP I guess some try to forget that.
# 10 Global warming is a problem as you notice the weather changes in the East and all over. Like the Titanic some have to let the boat sink still saying nothings wrong then when their dying they look like idiots saying why didn’t someone tell us, they did you didn’t listen.
Bravo! Elections due indeed have consequences, as we now finally are starting to see … you ROCK GIRL!
and just what in the hell are the people in OK thinking? I mean, a drunk monkey would be less of an embarrassment

Comment by Patrick1 — March 21, 2007 @ 6:19 pm
What qualifications are required?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:26 pm#4 First, this was not a Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Second, even then, in the SC hearings, the nominees were never bullied and told he had to answer all questions in writing and would not be allowed to speak.
The sooner we can get past the denial stage and start taking meaningful action, the better it will be for the world 50 and 100 years from now. The USA needs to lead the way, especially since we are the biggest polluters. In addition, we need to lead the way, because America is historically a world leader in technological innovation. I want America to be America again.

Obviously too much woman for you. Scared?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:28 pmGood thing Crazy Al Gore lost in 2000, or we’d probably have had a major terrorist attack, and a nuclear North Korea, and a massive debt, and probably some totally inept response to a major natural disaster (stupid Dimocrats), and we’d probably have ceded East Asian influence to China and Russia, and prolly have gotten bogged down in some stupid military adventurism (like Kosovo only much worse, with over 100,000 troops and 30,000+ permanent injuries and deaths, and no exit strategy).
You dumbass liberals. Al Gore woulda been the worst president ever.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:28 pmDemocrats interrupting Republicans when they were asking questions to Plame that would show that Plame is but a pathetic partisan liberal hack?

Howdesperate you must be if you’re still trying to twist Plame’s covert status, as confirmed by the current CIA director who was appointed by your hero Dumbya Bush.

You are an A**, Patrick.
Your response was to attack a woman’s appearance?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pmPerhaps you’d like to be judged on your “manhood?”
I hope the good people of OK will wake up to reality someday and quit electing people based on a bumper sticker level of understanding…
March 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pmWOOOHOOOOO!!! Inhofe gets bitch-slapped by Boxer. YOU GO GIRL!!!
“YOU DON’T MAKE THE RULES. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES”,
March 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pmWhat are the qualifications, I said. For example, when James Dobson speaks about evolution, it’s clear that he has smashing and impeccable fashion tastes. Al Gore has none. James Dobson has pierced genitalia. Al Gore has none (or if he does, ewww). Case closed, dirty hippies.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pmWho is the evil Mr. Clean sitting behind Inhofe and glaring at Boxer? He looks like a thug/bodyguard from Blackwater.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:31 pmYou Stalinist libs will pay for your cruel, fascist, partisan ways.
Republicans take the White House, back the Senate and House in 08. You punks have done nothing for our country but praise Chicken Little like Al Snore.

Is Patsy a human being, or maybe just a neoCON-programmed robot?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pmThe trolls must really be scared of Gore. They have been all over the two treads about him and global warming today.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pmOr maybe the news is so bad for them on the other threads they’re afraid to go there.
Either way they’re acting like a bunch of wimps.
And Rove must have told them that Gore could not be beat as a Presidential Candidate. After all he wasn’t beat the last time, just robbed.
I think I just had a Senatorgasm. You go, girl!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pmPatrick1:
Al is quite well educated in the matter, he’s had many years to study and collect data and put it into a movie for non-scientists to understand. Now you spew debunked talking points, flat out lies, what authority do you have to say anything?
So Patrick1, still supporting the tobacco industries claim that smoking is safe? Or perhaps asbestos?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pm“Boxer is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and so therefore Boxer couldn’t possibly limit Biden’s time.”
Goodness. No wonder you are confused about how our government works. Barbara Boxer is one of the 2 senators from the great state of California, and is now the Chair of the Environmental Committee (thank goodness). This was a senate hearing. Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pmThink Progress is doing an EXCELLENT job getting the facts and making them available to us. The fact that they do such an excellent job is what seems to provoke the neo-conservative hate-mongers into these discussion threads. I also think it is great they allow anyone to post, what could be more democratic? Any thinking person can easily see right though someone like Patrick1’s banal rhetoric, and those who are dumb enough to “drink the kool aid” as it were, probably aren’t bright enough to find the site to even read his comments. I just want to say THANK YOU THINK PROGRESS for starting to replace the dwindling 4th estate, and brining some truth back to media. You are a real breath of fresh air. You clean concise website is very professional as is the way you present every issue. Keep up the great work, maybe there is some hope for our great nation after all!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pmDid you catch inhofe calling gore senator? When he cuts him off he calls him senator as does Boxer. Later Boxer returns to calling him Vice President. Can you imagine if anyone called Bush Govenour Bush? That is a major insult by both of them.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:33 pmBush cultists react to Boxers strong control of a committee hearing: “Boo hoooo, waaaaa, not fair! That pushy little woman kicked our crackpot’s ass! Waaaaa!”
March 21st, 2007 at 6:34 pmThe Jihad will solve the problems of Glbal Warming. We will exterminate Christians, Jews and Hindus! That will leave on us Muslims and our Leftist allies to create Allah’s Paradise on Earth!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:34 pmtrueblue:
Yeah, and Mrs. Alito wasn’t crying real tears either right? Ask, and you shall receive:
SPECTER: And, Senator Biden, you’re recognized for up to 20 minutes, as you have requested. And if you go a little more, my gavel will stay put.
BIDEN: Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ll try not to.
Judge, I heard the chairman — and I happened to be doing something on Darfur. And I was in the conference room and I heard the chairman say that — which I agree; he and I have talked about this — nominees tend to answer as many questions as they think they have to in order to get confirmed. And I would say that that’s been the case with all nominees, basically, since Judge Bork.
I’d also add another, I think, truism that’s developed is they tend to answer controversial questions in direct proportion to how much they think the public is likely to agree with them.
And it all goes to, kind of, a central point here is: What is the public entitled to know about what you think, or what anyone thinks, before they go on the court?
And I realize there’s this dynamic tension between your independence as a nominee, wand to be an independent justice, and answering questions.
But having said that, let me go to an area that I hope you’ll engage me in. And it goes to executive power.
I have had the dubious distinction, because of my role in the Judiciary Committee and on the Foreign Relations Committee, in the last three or four times forces have been used by a president, to be the guy in charge of — at least on my side of the aisle — drafting or negotiating the drafting of the authority to use force, whether it was President Clinton, before that President Bush and even before that the discussion back on Lebanon, with President Reagan, et cetera.
So it’s something I’ve dealt with a lot. Doesn’t mean I’m right about it, but I’ve thought a lot about it.
And now there is a school of thought that’s emerging within the administration that is making — not illegitimate — an intellectually thought-out claim that the power of the executive in times of war exceed that of what I would argue a majority of the constitutional scholarship has suggested.
BIDEN: And the fellow — a very bright guy — who is referred to as the architect of the president’s memorandum on the ability of the presidents to conduct military operations against terrorists and nations supporting them is Professor Yoo.
He’s written a book called “The Powers of War and Peace.” And he makes some claims that are relatively new among the constitutional scholars in his book. And he had urged, when he was at the administration, the president had these authorities.
For example, he says that, “The framing generation well understood that declarations of war were obsolete.” He goes on to say, “Given this context, it’s clear that Congress’ power to declare war does not constrain a president’s independent and plenary right, constitutional authority over the use of force.”
And he goes on and he argues, as you well know this argument — I mean, not from your court, just as an informed, intelligent man — there’s a great debate now of whether or not the administration’s internal position is correct. And that is, the president has the authority to go to war absent congressional authorization.
And it was a claim made by Bush I and then dropped. Bush I argued that the only reason the declare war provision is in the Constitution is to give the president the authority to go to war if the president didn’t want to. That was the claim made.
Similar claim made here, so I want to ask you a question.
Do you think the president has the authority to invade Iran tomorrow without getting permission from the people, from the United States Congress, absent him being able to show there’s an immediate threat to our national security?
ALITO: Well, that’s a question that I don’t think is settled by — the whole issue of the extent of the president’s authority to authorize the use of military force without congressional approval has been the subject of a lot of debate.
The Constitution divides the powers relating to making war between the president and the Congress. It gives Congress the power to declare war, and obviously that means something. It gives Congress the power of the purse, and obviously military operations can’t be carried out for any length of time without congressional appropriations. Congress is given the power to raise and support an Army, to maintain a Navy, to make the rules for governing the land and the naval forces.
The president has the power of the commander in chief. And I think there’s been general agreement and the Prize cases support the authority of the president to take military action on his own in the case of an emergency when there is not time for Congress to react.
BIDEN: Is that the deciding question, if the Congress does not have the time to act?
ALITO: Well, the Prize cases I think are read to go as far as to say that in that limited circumstance the president can act without congressional approval.
A lot of scholars say that what’s important as far as congressional approval is not the form, it’s not whether it’s a formal declaration of war or not, it’s whether there is authorization in one form or another.
The war powers resolution was obviously an expression of the view on the part of Congress…
BIDEN: If I can interrupt, Judge, since I’m not going to have much time.

March 21st, 2007 at 6:34 pmThanks for reminding me shane. Gore is also an expert on trying to steal federal elections.
As for global warming he is as much an expert on the enviroment as a child who watches Tom and Jerry is an expert on rodent control.

Why don’t you hang it up and go to Redstate, or AEI, where your heroes hang out, instead of just being a contrarian idiot on a progressive blog?! Are you paid to pass hours on this and other blogs? Get lost, dipshit!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:36 pm#21-Jake’s no Einstein,
Uh, Senator Boxer, representing the great state of California, is a Senator. Nancy Pelosi, a Representative from the great state of California, is a member of the US House of Representatives and currently holds the position of Speaker of the House.
So, I guess that you are a total phucktard after all. But at least you are a civil one.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:36 pmOkay, who educated Gore on this topic? What degree can he claim on climatology and from what acredited university?
From his electric bill he obviously can’t claim this as knowledged gained from experience.

Too bad Inhofe wouldn’t even LET Gore answer.

He’s more of an *expert* than you are - dum bass. What’s the difference between him and you? He’s citing the conclusions of the entire scientific community. You’re citing the *oil-industry*, that has a vested anti-science industry. You’re no different than the idiots that claimed Cigarettes didn’t cause cancer! You’re a useless tit, suckling greed, and stupidity.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:42 pmYou know what people? We’ve turned a corner. The little squeaks and farts coming out of the likes of trolls like Patrick1 need no longer be of concern. Their day is over. And we all basically know it. Maybe even a year ago people would be shaking their heads wondering how to deal with such idiots….and wondering why they say what they say? But now, the seriousness of the situation that our country (and the world) is in has shoved them aside. These trolls are like left over flys at a long ago abandoned picnic….annoying but they can no longer get under any really caring intelligent person’s skin, Why? Because their cause, which is self serving and stupid, is lost and is dishonest. Time to get to work and continue to reclaim our country and our Democracy. It is so obvious to more and more people every day.

Patrick, what are YOUR scientific qualifications to challenge Gore’s accounts in this area?
If you have no degrees or credentials of any kind, then just say that it’s all your own opinion, with no factual basis whatsoever, no one will think the less of you for admitting this up front.
Even more sad for these pathetic trolls is that none of their whines, their self-pity, or any of their other petulant blather is or will do anything to reverse W and the GOP’s slide into the political abyss they started down election-wise last November
But hey, if the W trolls are so bound and determined to not only prove their unbounded willful ignorance, if they’re insistent on getting smacked around by their intellectual superiors, well, that’s what great about this country, and who am I, indeed, who is anyone to stop them from asserting their right to a daily rhetorical thrashing?
It’s all right to cry, trolls, really it is

March 21st, 2007 at 6:44 pmPatrick1. Al Gore learned this stuff by reading non-fiction books. You might try it some time.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:44 pmIts funny when trolls only reply to threads where the can attack with lies and childish personal attacks… Trolls, please take this in the nicest way… if you hate America so much and hate the rule of law, and seem to hate virtually everything and everyone good and decent here… perhaps it would be better for you to just pack up and leave. I am sure there are many other countries where you can live and be hateful against America and all the good it stands for… We really do not need you here as you are helping further the problems we currently are working hard to fix. You continue to show that you hate America instead of working to make it better and are certainly not acting like adults by helping create solutions. Shame on you for attacking America and the good and decent people who love our country!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:46 pmNow I know, as I am sure Inhofe just learned, what a real, honest to goodness, genuine, ass kickin’, “bitch slap” is! WOW SENATOR BOXER you done good!
Jake, happy to see KKKarl sent your ExLax and that Patsy is over her latest PMS attack. You guys better cash your troll checks in a hurry ’cause there may be insufficient funds in the Bushco account real soon.

March 21st, 2007 at 6:47 pmHave you scientific geniouses realized that gloabl warming leads to an ice age. If the glaciers keep melting, the fresh water goes into the Atlantic. That slows the gulf stream and leads to a collapse in gloabl temperatures and Ice caps will cover Northern Europe and Northern America.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:48 pmThat’s why Al Gore is bunk. He just focuses on aspect Glabal warming, he doesn’t tell you the rest, a New Ice Age.
I’m really intelligent, and I know that Biden is a Senator and Boxer is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and so therefore Boxer couldn’t possibly limit Biden’s time. I also know that the Roberts and Alito (not Aliton) confirmation hearings were done under a Republican majority Senate.

When Germany let the 3rd Reich take over during the 1930’s, there was no one to stop them.
When the US let the 4th Reich take over, it was only for 6 years before people demanded change. And when it came to putting those little wankers in their place, it was a woman who did it.
Wow! That’s got to sting.
ReichWingNuts: all bark and no teeth. Too bad they’ve sent over 3000 USA servicemen/women to their graves during those 6 years. Too bad civil liberties were taken away. Too bad citizens were illegally spied on. Too bad the 4th Reich wouldn’t help it’s own citizens in LA/MISS/ALA.
Ironic, isn’t it? Woman in US government are telling the 4th Reich to put their frightened tiny weenies back into their pants and to STFU!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:50 pm….and prolly have gotten bogged down in some stupid military adventurism (like Kosovo only much worse, with over 100,000 troops and 30,000+ permanent injuries and deaths, and no exit strategy).

March 21st, 2007 at 6:51 pmDana Rohrbacher says…
…”Alberto Gonzales has mishandled this and a number of other situations and should resign…he should go. But let me say that Bill clinton fired all 93 Us Attorneys when he took office. And Wolf the President has the right to fire these attorneys, they just handled it badly and brought down a firestorm that they didn’t have to have.”
Now lemme see if I get this right:
…the Preznit should fire Gonzales…
…who has done NOTHING wrong, just mishandled HOW he did NOTHING wrong…
…the Preznit has the RIGHT to fire these attorneys, but should FIRE Abu for doing what the Preznit has the RIGHT to do- because of the WAY he did it…
YEAH…
…these sombiches are hiding something…
…INVESTIGATE…
…til we can uncover the CRIMINALITY…
…it’s in there somewhere…
March 21st, 2007 at 6:52 pmActually, trueblue, I can keep going with that transcript — I was just providing an excert and the link — more important to my point was that Biden was allowed to speak himself the entire 20 minutes if he so chose.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:52 pmIt looks like Inhofe came not to debate the issue of global warming,but have in mind to lash at Al-Gore….words like ..’full of crap’…’Third Reich’ and interrupting Al Gore and arguing with Barbara Boxer.
Poor Inhofe is just frustrated that he lost the chairmanship of the committee.

March 21st, 2007 at 6:54 pmRoger_Roger, the alternative fuel for the gas tank should be natural gas. But instead, we’re wasting our natural gas resources to create electricity.
We should build nuclear power plants to replace the natural gas power plants, and use the natural gas in the cars.
Everyone wins. You don’t even have to believe in global warming to see the benefits of this. It’d really help to clean up the environment.
Next, we have to replace the coal power plants with nuclear power. Coal is the dirtiest stuff there is. And we’re burning tons of it.

March 21st, 2007 at 6:57 pmThe point is Al Gore is not being honest. It’s a media culture Campaign called Global Warming. Why isn’t the Coming Ice Age discuseed?
Why is it covered up. Global Warming is hype, Climate Change is real.
did anyone notice on the evil looks from the republican hags behind their senators.
Sour grapes, isn’t Imhofe like 90? I think he was voted dumbest senator in the past.
Oklahoma must be a wonderful place to live represented by Imhofe and Coburn
March 21st, 2007 at 6:57 pmTrolls are good for only 2 things:
1. Laughing at them
2. using the PAGE DOWN key!
I must say I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE how they are all rattled adn bothered. Funny, no so many trolls as there used to be. Guess KKKarl Rove not able to take care of paying them while he is going throw “his little problem”. hehe!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:58 pmSooooooo….
The biggest Repuke talking point to all issues is (drumroll)
Some Democrat did it too, at some point in the past.
So I can do anything I want, and just use the ol’ “someone else did it too argument”?
March 21st, 2007 at 6:58 pmFine, jake.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:59 pmProvide the link so we can all see Biden *not even allow* Alito to answer question after question, how when Alito did attempt to answer, he got cut off (not even asking to interrupt), and generally treat Alito like a POS.
Can’t wait to see the link that shows all of those things Inhofe showed in the 3 minute clip we saw.
apologies TP…
…posted #79 on the wrong thread…
March 21st, 2007 at 6:59 pmPatrick1,
Are you really an idiot or do you just play one on ThinkProgress? You don’t believe that global warming is occuring, or that it will be a problem, or that man-made pollutants ontribute to global warming? Why don’t you immerse yourself in the SCIENTIFIC literature on the subject and educate yourself? Find out if there is a general consensus among scientists about global climate change.
Either that or go enlist and fight Bush’s great war in Iraq.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:59 pmNow thats what I’m talking about. Barbara Boxer handled that nicely. This knucklehead is telling the former Vice President of the United States “you can respond in writing” because he is too impatient to let him answer.
We may be seeing our newborn congresses balls drop.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:00 pmIsn’t it refreshing to watch a neanderthal like Inhofe dragging his knuckles across the floor and retreating in defeat after being spanked by Barbara Boxer!! I wonder if someone could find out who is the number 1-5 contributors to Inhofe’s campaigns. My guess, given his voracious disgust for the science of climate change, is that Exxon/Mobil, Texaco or some other oil company must be in the top 5. Maybe, given that its Oklahoma, all five top contributors are oil companies. Then again, Toby Keith is from Okie land…maybe he’s piling on a few dollars to Inhofe’s coffers.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:00 pmFunMe ,
March 21st, 2007 at 7:00 pmKarl Rove is paying me. He pays me $10,000 dollars a month to post here. Great job right!
Live by the sword die by the sword republicans. You cant act like egotisical nut cases and expect people to not rub your nose in your own shit when the tables turn. Inhale deeply Inhofe… that is what the feces you have been spewing smells like.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:00 pmFlaco hates strong women. He admits it readily.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:00 pmSMACK!!
March 21st, 2007 at 7:01 pmCongrats to Sen. Boxer for throwing that “elections have consequences” line Republicans were so fond of using back in their face.
And why does President Gore bring out so many right-wing trolls? Because he’s a constant reminder that they lost an election and were wrong on global warming (not to mention Iraq, Social Security, etc.). I pity them and their pathetic Sen. Inhofe.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:01 pmFlaco calls his alleged wife, “Mommy.” That says a lot.
Ick.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:03 pmThe Republics are SO VERY RUDE… didn’t Imhofe’s parents teach him any manners? Poor manners, all of them, just like the trolls that post here. No manners and poor breeding.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:04 pmI wish more wealthy people would act like Gore and buy carbon credits to fund non Saudi oil and non Coal energy sources. It is funny how the republicans of all people are now advocating the communit life style where all wealthy people must live no better than the average person.

Barbara Boxer was the only Senator to sponsor the objections to the 2004 election certification….
Speaking of the 2004 elections, I would guess her judgement about the election process may yet prove out correct in the courts… interesting things going on in Cuyahoga County - Cleveland to most of you…

March 21st, 2007 at 7:06 pmWhy did it take Boxer so long to read the rules to that retard - sorry the use of the word retard there gives retarded people and others with various learning disabilities, or cognitive disabilities, a bad name.
Is Inhofe representative of OK. If so that is one pathetic state.
The man asks a question that he doesn’t want answered. So he stops the person from answering and then says he doesn’t want to be rude.
He needs to be smacked down hard. But he’d probably like that too much.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:06 pmI really like Barbara Boxer. I wish she’d run for president.

Move out of your mommy’s house loser. Join the friggin’ military and become a man. A real man isn’t threatened by strong women the way you republicans are. In fact to the strong women out there a real man says “Bring it on” Because there ain’t nothing finer than a women that knows what she wants and how she wants it. The rest are just bimbos.

March 21st, 2007 at 7:12 pmTo actually change things, you can’t just expect people to change their lifestyles. You have to change the power source of the central grid. You have to replace coal plants with wind, wave, and solar power. That can’t happen by expecting people to change their lifestyles and voluntarily pay for green power, you have to change the technology and you have to change the law.

March 21st, 2007 at 7:14 pmWhat if Mr. Gore’s residence in March ‘08 is 1600 Pennsylvania Av?
I think Mr. Gore could easily meet the pledge Mr. Inhofe thought he was going to trap him in if Gore could edit it to say “non-green” power, since he is already subscribing to green power

March 21st, 2007 at 7:15 pmTo all the dumbass trolls
Interrupting someone for bullshitting (i.e. the Plame hearing you mentioned) is appropriate. Senator Inhofe going on a pointless diatribe trying to bash Gore with twisted facts and half-truths (known to regular people as Lies) is an entirely different matter.
And on behalf of myself and all other progressives: …you’re welcome. We’re saving your planet too!!!

How can people like Inhofe argue on the one hand that man-made global warming is a farce, but on the other argue that Al Gore needs to reduce his energy usage?? If man has nothing to do with global warming, than Al should be able to use as much energy as he wants (regardless of whether his amount of usage is significant).

Hey firehead, roll the tape on Bush the morning of 9/11. That’s what i call Chicken Little. Mr. Little, the leader of the free world, sat in an elementary school while terrorists were attacking America. After being told “America is under attack”, he sat there and didn’t ask a single question… Hmmm, America under attack… i wonder who is attack us, hmmm, whatever.
Or maybe Mr. FIVE deferments from Vietnam your shoot ‘em in the face VP would qualify as Chicken Little, or how about… Oh, that’s right I could spend all night going down the list of Chicken Hawk GOPers in this administration who avoided service, but have no problem sending other people’s kids to die.
Not only are these GOPers all chicken, but what are the daily visits from Jeff Gannon about. Yikes!
March 21st, 2007 at 7:44 pmI just got home from work and just watched that exchange. OH MY GOD!!!! That was priceless!! Imhofe was made to look like an ASS and rightfully so.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:44 pmSen. Boxer handeled that so well and Mr. Gore displayed great class and patience dealing with the idiot from Oklahoma. Way to go!!

March 21st, 2007 at 7:52 pmI don’t oppose Iran having nuclear energy in theory. However you knoe with the Fascist regime they have it’s for Nukes. They will use it since according to the 12 Iman branch of Shia Islam they need to create an appocalyptic war to bring about the return of Mahdi.
Hopefully the students and young people of Iran will bring down that regime and have a more resonable one.
I don’t understand the Left’s support of Iran?
Iran stands for everything the Left is for?
Why does the Left never show support for the opponents of the Iranian regime?
The point is move away from oil, Iran’s economy collapses, they have no money for Nuke energy!
They become harmless carpet sellers!
By getting away from Carbon fuels like oil, most geopolitical problems will go away. Fascist states like Iran and Saudi Arabia will go broke. The Jihadists will become harmless carpet sellers.

March 21st, 2007 at 7:53 pmSomehow I imagine when the pendelum swings, as it will eventually, you won’t be amused by a Republican using that line on a Democrat. Inhofe and Boxer are both being bozos. I’m pretty sure that in most office situations such behavior would be a strike against you. It’d be nice if our elected Representatives could manage to act a bit more like intelligent professionals, and a bit less like highbrow professional wrestlers.
