In the contest to replace Tom DeLay as chief expounder of total nonsense, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) is putting a lot of distance between himself and the pack. After needlessly haranguing Al Gore during his Senate hearings, he's now blocking—successfully—Gore's attempt to hold a concert on the National Mall. Oy.
Is there anyone we can convince to run against Inhofe? David Boren's not that old, Brad Carson did fairly well against Tom Coburn, and Brad Henry is enormously popular. Surely any one of those three could represent their state's petroleum interests without being quite so embarrassing to the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.
