I think calling Inhofe “stupid” is a little reductive. As someone who has been inflicted with his odious concept of governance since my teens, I know that he’s also a cranky, fucking-evil gargoyle that should have been chiseled from our nation’s edifice years ago. He’s Trump without Cheeto Mussolini’s way of charming the idioterati, so he’s been able to skate by thanks to his home state’s insatiable fetish for pure, unalloyed hate.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) was asked by the Huffington Post if Trump’s Cabinet picks should be asked to disclose income from foreign sources, as he and 25 other senators asked of President Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, back in 2013.
Infohe said no.
“So it’s different now because it’s Trump?” HuffPost asked.
“That’s just right,” the Oklahoma senator replied.
“That’s right?” HuffPost pressed.
“Yeah,” he said.
A spokeswoman for Inhofe later told the Huffington Post that he did not mean to indicate support for treating Trump’s nominees differently.
SOB and B.

"The same standard has not been upheld for Trump’s nominees, some of whom have yet to properly disclose their financial holdings or complete their agreements with the Office of Government Ethics."
Trump has set the new standard. Which is no standards.

And plus, Ted Cruz wrote the letter. How was he supposed to remember if someone else wrote it. Gotcha journalism.
By the way, if it is as cold and snowy in Washington DC as it is in NYC, I fully expect one of Inhofe’s (R-Philips Petroleum) annual anti-global warming snowball performances, perhaps during some appropriate climate change denier’s hearing!!!

“Of course we don’t believe in double standards!”…But he said what he said. He said the words. Even worse, this is being backed up by actions. This “say it then apologize” form of political discourse is getting tired.

while the house if full of moronic idiots and assholes (see Gohmert, Steve King, Dana Rohrbacher etc)
the senate has a special place for a fucking blooming idiot - James Inhofe, Senator Snowball
that entire state - which is shaped sort of like a shot gun - should be saw off and set out to drift
ps - the UGLIEST city i have every visited in this country by far is Oklahoma City

OKAY NOW…this is how it plays. The Senator just flat out ‘believes’ that Trump should be able to put whoever he wants IN without vetting because he’s TRUMP and then said Senator’s ‘communications’ person rushes to ‘assure’ us that ‘OF COURSE, THAT’S NOT TRUE’…that would be STUPID to think that…Shades of the Orangeman and his faithful sidekick, Skeletor. JHC is THIS how democracy ends?

If you want to hate on him in a knowledgeable way, be my guest. Practically the only thing I know about him myself is that he doesn’t grasp how climate change and passing seasons can coexist, and he once tried to land a small plane on a runway clearly marked “DON’T LAND HERE” and came inches from causing a multi-fatality crash.

I guess you could chalk it up to the soft bigotry of low expectations.

I’m in central Virginia, and it’s been pretty frickin’ cold for quite awhile, so, yeah, I’m sure he’ll bring it up as proof against NASA’s liberal hippies wasting precious federal government money and time.

They’re not even pretending not to be hypocritical anymore.
It’s a new world, and Trump defines it as he wishes.

I have been hearing these wild conspiracy theories about a race of lizard people taking over the government for a while but never gave it any credence until I saw that picture of Inhofe this morning.

Well he could get the surgery, but then he wouldn’t be allowed to use the bathrooms.
