Get 'im, Babs!

Think Progress

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) has said Al Gore is "full of crap" and compared people who believe in global warming to "the Third Reich." During today's Senate hearing, Inhofe used a considerable amount of time to attack Gore's use of carbon offsets and try to convince him to sign a sham "energy ethics pledge." (Find the real facts on Gore's energy usage HERE and HERE.)(Links at site - G.)

Inhofe asked Gore for his reaction, but then quickly cut him off saying Gore had taken up too much time. When Gore tried to go on, Inhofe repeatedly interrupted, adding, "I don't want to be rude, but from now on, I'm going to ask you to respond…in writing." Inhofe said Gore could respond verbally only if it was a "very brief response."

Committee chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) finally intervened. "Would you agree to let the Vice President answer your questions?" Inhofe said Gore could respond when he was done talking, but Boxer wouldn't have it: "No, that isn't the rule. You're not making the rules. You used to when you did this. Elections have consequences. So I make the rules." The hearing audience applauded loudly. Watch it:

By all means watch it! Check a few of the comments, too. Heh.

Yo, Inhofe: Babs ain't a bitch, but she bitch-slapped the fuck outta you, asshole! 'Bout fuckin' time somebody did, oil-whore.

I ♥ Barbara Boxer! I'd like to ♣ Inhofe.
