Alec Baldwin Attacks ‘Oil Whore’ James Inhofe | Actor Alec Baldwin, the narrator of the new documentary Frozen Planet, is excoriating Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) on Twitter as an “oil whore.” “I attack Inhofe because he is a climate change denier,” Baldwin tweeted. His series of tweets criticizes BP, Exxon, and conservatives who don’t admit “US war policy and US energy policy are often one.” (HT Get Energy Smart Now)

Update

Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey responds: “These kind of outrageous statements made recently on Twitter by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Alec Baldwin stand in stark contrast to the civil debate Senator Inhofe had with Rachel Maddow last week. In truth, the far left and Hollywood elites have lost on their pet cause of global warming. The only way to get attention these days is to make outlandish and irresponsible comments on Twitter.”
