A senator in a hostile climate: it must be very lonely being the last flat-earther

A Republican Senator from an oil-producing state still clings to the old party line that Global Warming is a hoax perpetrated by the Left? Nahhh.....surely not in this day and age. Once again, Al Gore's use of the Upton Sinclair quote in "An Inconvenient Truth" is terribly appropriate: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." Seriously, people....time to vote this ignorant incompetent out of office. Then again, if we vote one ignorant incompetent out of office, we may as well proceed with the hundreds of others. Time to clean House? (And Senate?)

On a positive note, even "responsible journalists" at the Washington Post seem to be making a judgment call and are displaying the proper response to Inhofe's shenanigans: ridicule.
