Suppose You Were an Idiot, and Suppose You Were a Congressman...*

Sen. Jim Inhofe [Idiot-Oklahoma], who chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee, tossed a snowball on the Senate floor as part of a speech expressing skepticism about the reality of climate change. The Oklahoma Republican opened by showing pictures of an igloo his daughter's family built during a snowstorm five years ago, when he said "the hysteria on global warming" began.

Then Inhofe reached into a bag he had brought with him and pulled out a robust snowball.

"Do you know what this is? It's a snowball," he said to freshman Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, who being from Louisiana may not be familiar with snow. "It's just from outside here, so it's very, very cold out, ... very unseasonable."

Does nobody explain basic science to him? I mean, he’s in the fecking Senate, not some backwater Ma's Diner.

What a waste of oxygen.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

*To finish that Twain quote...."but I repeat myself."  And an equally appropriate quote:  "Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or imbeciles who really mean it."
