And you have to realize - that was no snowball. inhofe was holding the innards of his own HEAD. That was his brain that's frozen over.

And once again, I hate to say this, but I look at the people of Oklahoma who continue, incomprehensibly, to see fit to send THIS guy to the Senate. They want HIM to represent them. So then we have to ask - what's the matter with THEM, then???? He didn't just magically get that job on his own. He had a majority of VOTES.

I am just bewildered by this. Horrified and bewildered.
