Meet the knuckleheads

Salon has a pretty good profile of some of the biggest idiots in the Senate.  My state, of course, has one of the biggest morons featured in the article.  I'm glad I didn't vote for the guy, but he's been in office as long as I can remember, so there are apparently a ton of morons all around me supporting the douche.

James Inhofe, R-Okla.

Evidence of knuckleheadedness: Don't sell James Inhofe short. Yes, he's the poster child for global warming deniers. He called global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," on the Senate floor, and he's used the writings of novelist Michael Crichton to try to persuade his colleagues and the public that there's nothing to worry about. He's also argued on Fox News that all this scare-mongering is just a plot by "the Weather Channel" to boost its ratings.

But Inhofe's brand of crazy doesn't stop at climate change. He believes that kicking God out of schools in 1963 unleashed an "age of perversion" in this country, and that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were evidence of God's anger at the United States for our policies toward Israel. He's also said that the "Birthers," who think President Obama wasn't born in the U.S., "have a point." Given the stubborn Oklahoman's immunity to fact, his August statement about the healthcare reform bill is unsurprising: "I don't have to read it, or know what's in it. I'm going to oppose it anyways."

Oklahoma Has The Patent On Dumbass

This is from my coworker's blog. Check it out here. He has a Dear Prudence spoof that is a riot. I cannot argue with it in the least. This guy makes this entire state look bad every time he opens his mouth. How does he get so much airtime on C•Span?

Subject: Oklahoma has the patent on dumbass.
My cheeky Okie monkeys,
After watching C-Span’s coverage of President Obama’s speech in Cairo, and downloading the complete text from the New York Times, I am convinced that it is one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard, right up there with his speech on race in Philadelphia in 2008.
I mean, an American President offering a cogent, articulate, and intelligent analysis of the situation in the Middle East, the conflicts among governments and religions, and the need to find common ground rather than seeking differences is music to God’s own ears.
AND unlike Bush/Cheney, He gave this speech in Cairo, Egypt, in the heart of the Muslim world rather than some U.S. Army Base or Aircraft Carrier. If this keeps up, I am going to elevate Barack Obama from American President status to Global Statesman and world changers the likes of which are Mohandis Gandhi, Nelson Mandella and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Politicians are a dime a dozen, Statesman on the other hand are an endangered species.
In this one speech, he spoke to, let’s see, about a billion Muslims, a billion and a half Christians, and millions of Jews the world over; offering peace, reconciliation and a way forward, rather than the same old backward hate-filled, us against them, bullying, war threatening rhetoric the world is so used to hearing from America.
Barack Obama continues to be a redemptive and healing antidote to Bush/Cheney and their miserable reign of fear and stupidity. Being American is almost cool again…maybe we will be able to travel abroad again without someone tucking an IED in our hotel beds or throwing shoes at our leaders.
Alas, should I become too giddy and excited with the USS America making a U turn to avoid foundering of the shoals of shit-for-brains; Congressman shit-for-brains is staring at me from a newspaper vending machine as I walk into Perkins Restaurant.
Yup, that’s right. Right there on the front page of “The Oklahoman” is Congressman Jim Inhofe (again!!) criticizing Barack Obama’s speech as being “Un-American” for correctly referring to the war in Iraq as a “war of choice.” Inhofe continues his festival of stupidity by wondering “which side Obama is on” for closing Guantanamo because “there is not one documented case of torture in Guantanamo.”
“Un-American??” “Which side is Obama on??” “Not one documented case of torture in Guantanamo????????????”
O’Reilly, Hannity, Rove, Limbaugh, Cheney, Gingerich…yeah, all these dumbasses piss me off with their bullshit criticisms of Obama; but when it comes to having a Ph.D. Emeritus in dumbassness, a veritable patent on dumbass, who do they call on?
You guessed it, the good old Republican Senator from Oklahoma- Jim Inhofe, the biggest
dumbest assest of them all…the guy who thinks Global Warming is a hoax, that God created Adam and Eve 6,000 years ago, giving them an M-16 and telling them to subdue and conquer the planet for Jesus Christ and Exxon.
Even though this Okie Neanderthal doesn’t believe in evolution, he is a walking, talking testimony that in some distant past, mankind was un-evolved stupid grunting beasts who clubbed everything that didn’t eat them. Inhofe reminds us of what we came from several million years ago…small-brained, violent, feces-tossing monkeys.
Yet, Inhofe gets elected over and over again….umm…this doesn’t recommend Oklahoma very much.
One can only hope that Oklahoma will move forward and evolve into beings that have a human- sized brain, stand up and walk on two legs, and think.
Stand up and think!!
