Iâ€™m looking forward to this! With Alâ€™s clout, me thinks the lineups are going to be awesome. And for the biggest cause that I can think of today other than Iraq. Here is a question and I am by no means dissing Al Gore. Why is it that Democrats who have held high office seem to do their best work AFTER they leave office. Think Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton among others. Good and Important work. Just a thought. And I do hope Al wins the Nobel for Peace. It would be appropriate.

Bought off by big oil. A pathetic and shameful show that he might someday be sorry for. This would be especially true because he has a big family who will be the benefactors of his corrupt and embarrassing position. Meanwhile the ice keeps melting.

To Inhofe:

Gavel: Not Yours

Hope you can revel in your “victory” knowing that.

Oh and I hope he understands the precedent he just set with saying one should support something dubbed a “partisan and political” event being held in the Capitol grounds. The right shouldn’t mewl if that get’s thrown back intheir faces when they have a little party they want to put on.

Then again, they really don’t have concerts do they? They just camp outside poor brain damaged women’s hospitals…

[...] Earth minus DC By Sue Why is Senator James Inhofe trying so desperately hard to block the Live Earth concert from the Capitol grounds? Could a personality problem be overtaking a global event? How stupid does [...]

What Inhofe is really doing here is grand-standing for Big Oil. He’s essentially saying, “Don’t forget to send your campaign cash. You know I’m your biggest whore.”

78 – I’m kind of hoping he’ll stage a 1-man sit-in, and chain himself to something, or just lie on the sidewalk kicking and screaming while concert-goers file past.

Gotta be tough on the ol’feller to accept that he’s now, officially, “behind the times”. Now he knows how his ol’Pappy felt when them young’uns come around, revvin the motors in their so-called aut-o-mo-biles and raisin’em a big’ol ruckus down t’the feed mill.

Wow, Onhoff trying to stop this concert sounds just like something the PMRC would have tried a few years ago. Does anyone remember who headed that group up? Maybe who headed up the Senate hearings?

Here is a good writeup on Inhofe. The section on his attempts to block the control of mercury emission control is typical. Well, at least he’s consistent!

tompussy,

As a lifelong Texan, it is my duty to hate Oklahoma.

I’ve never claimed to support Gore.

Please eat my f*ck, you ignorant slut.

Sorry,
But the only good Oklahomans are the ones who got out of there as fast as they could.
Stupid hillbilly, Indian raping state.

Aren’t you forgetting that Al Gore is from Tennessee, another southern state? Your comments prove what a jackass and biggot you are.

Infole reminds me of the old 1960s Southern Democrats (DINOs) who did everything they could to keep civil rights laws from passing.

I’m kind of confused. How can he block a concert in Washington? Did someone appoint him god? Calling Barbara Boxer….calling Barbara Boxer…..it’s time to bitch slap this jerk again.

A govt official trying to stop a rock concert? â€” This is just the kind of fight that gets folks fired up. I guess Inhofe thinks he’s found his weapon. – Let’s let him use it and see how much good it does him.. hee hee

Inhofe is forgetting that elections have consequences. His acting out only makes him look foolish. Senator Boxer will have the final say on this matter.

The term ‘partisan’, to Inhofe, does not refer to Republican or Democrat, but to whether or not one is a sniveling inane shill for big oil/corporatism or not. Inhofe is, in fact, serving his narrow, corporate constituency quite well. (You didn’t really ever believe that he represents the people of Oklahoma, did you?)
