Inhofe:".. Never had a Divorce or any kind of Homosexual Relationship"
http://wonkette.com/




{14:24:36} (MR. INHOFE) { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT } AS YOU SEE HERE, AND I THINK THIS IS MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT PROP WE’LL HAVE DURING THE ENTIRE DEBATE, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED 47 YEARS. WE HAVE 20 KIDS AND GRANDKIDS. I’M REALLY PROUD TO SAY THAT IN THE RECORDED HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY, WE’VE NEVER HAD A DIVORCE OR ANY KIND OF A HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE I’M THE WRONG ONE TO THE DOING THIS — TO BE DOING THIS SINCE I COME WITH SUCH A STRONG PREJUDICE FOR STRONG FAMILIES.

1. who the hell cares about your family history Inhofe
I don't.

This whole debate is really ridiculous, and we're paying for it. :grr:

This is America. There is NO LAW that says you have to have to have a family. At least, not yet. :scared:

2. Ha. Really quite amusing. I picture him looking at some kind of
geneological report on his family. Under each name on the family tree it says "heterosexual"

3. Um, was anyone asking if he did?
Methinks he protests too much. Tell us about your gay divorce, Jim. Go on, tell us.

I'm just waiting for him to say, "Oh, and by the way, I never fucked a Cocker Spaniel or wrote $425,878.32 in bad checks."

5. The GOP
has become the "Party of Irrelevance". It has no new ideas and your (our) tax dollars are funding it.

Thanks, Inhofe, for providing another example of that meme.

Can we get that included in today's talking points?

6. Imhofe is asking for some intense investigation of his family history.
It's been my experience that no family of that size has such a "perfect" record. Will the lapdog media just lick it up?

27. I doubt I qualify as a pygmy at 5'3"....
But yeah statistically speaking, there should be at least one, if not two, descendants of this d'ckwad that qualifies as LGBT, but that's not sensational enough, and anyway, considering the Mary Cheney debacle, the corporate media will cover their a$$es with some PC nonsense if it turns his grandkid's gay. Never mind exposing the lies members of congress tells on record.

10. I wonder if he even knows he is homophobic. This is hysterical!
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 07:39 AM by DianaForRussFeingold
He is REALLY Proud not to have any Homosexuals in his recorded family history. This is so funny! I can just picture him asking his grandparents! Hey,do we have any gays in the family? How does he know there's not a gay uncle in the closet somewhere out there in his genealogy! This is a typical self righteous,homophobic, attitude.

15. Is he tight with Neal Horsely?
if you've never seen this gem, from last year:

http://www.newshounds.us/2005/05/06/bizarre_sex_habits_of_the_extreme_rightwing.php

Last night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

At first, Horsley laughed and said, "Just because it's printed in the media, people jump to believe it."

"Is it true?" Colmes asked.

"Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I..."

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Colmes said he thought there were a lot of people in the audience who grew up on farms, are living on farms now, raising kids on farms and "and I don't think they are dating Elsie right now. You know what I'm saying?"

Horsley said, "You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually. You're naive. You know better than that... If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates you might in fact have sex with it."

Inhofe is a polygamist that uses child sex slaves!!

18. He has lived in a bubble.
I may be old but all this stuff has been going on all over the place my whole life. Where has this guy been? I was in high school in the 50's and I recall what a joke it was that two men got married by the local JofP. We all thought it was really fun. I knew the man and he said well they had all the legal paper work. And for divorce, heck the Victorians did not do it either and I swear their morals were not that great. Just for fun read the old court news from before we were even a country. They had laws against sin also but some how every one was doing it. Women were never safe walking down a dark road in the middle of the night even if the GOP seem to think we used to be a nice moral world.

20. Why stop at homosexuality and divorce?
If he wants to hold up his "strong family" as some kind of paragon, then let's see the school and medical records. Let's see some tax returns. Surely strong families turn out only bright, healthy, successful children. No DUIs or drop-outs, no drug busts or ADD, I hope. Otherwise, for shame!

The kids must just be relieved that Gramps is so out of touch.

22. "...Such a strong prejudice for strong families."
Inhofe later tearfully confessed to being very patriotic, and and admitted to a bias toward motherhood and apple pie.

24. If Memory Serves Me Right
The senator and his brother were involved in litigation over their inheritance. Been some time ago now. I seem to recall that each son ended up with an insurance comapny. The brother's small little insurance company is still operational and has carved out a nice little niche for itself. I believe he is still involved in its ownership and operation.

Litigation over an inheritance? Yep. Probably some dirt in this "perfect" little family....

28. Oh -- Another GREAT quote from brainyquotes.com
I do not think our priorities are misplaced when we are looking at creating a whole new class of children from these gay marriages who could end up completely dependent on the State, on the taxpayers - the American people.

33. oh how I love it when they expose themselves so blatantly
Because showing up for a press conference wearing a sandwich board emblazoned with the words "I'm a dumbfuck" might have been too subtle.

I think this could play out like the Schaivo situation for the repukes. Pandering to their wacko base, they reveal how culturally tone deaf they really are. Just because their base eats this kind of shit with a shovel they start thinking that's the majority viewpoint. Too stupid to realize that even your garden variety semi-homophobe is turned off and insulted by the absurd spectacle of some out-of-it politician vouching for the so-called moral supriority of his entire family.

37. 20 kids and grandkids.
So, statisically speaking, he's got two homosexual kids and grandkids. And several bisexual kids and grandkids. He hates his own kids and grandkids? So much for family values.

Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 12:35 PM by shain from kane
child abuse. Those kids and grandkids are bound to rebel. Probably a couple of knocked up slutty teenagers, a couple of "good ole boys" nailing pussy wherever they can find it, (Not to classify all knocked up teenagers as slutty; married my pregnant 18-year old bride over 30 years ago, and still married --- it's nice to have grandkids when you can keep up with them, and they don't treat you like old folks.)
