Why is this pinhead in the US Senate?`



Surely there aren't more pinheads in Oklahoma than non pinheads... :wtf:

U.S. involvement in Iraq has been incredibly successful and developments there have been "nothing short of a miracle," Sen. James Inhofe said Monday.

During his half-hour speech before the Tulsa Metro Chamber at the Doubletree Hotel at Warren Place, Inhofe called the United Nations an "absolute disaster" whose peacekeepers in Africa have been "going around teaching girls to be prostitutes."

Contrary to most reports, Inhofe said, many Iraqis are pleased about the U.S. intervention.

"Iraqi security forces now number 275,000 trained and equipped," he said. "The commanders in the field and the Iraqis say when this reaches 325,000, that would equal 10 divisions, and that's what we need to take care of our own security."

Inhofe has visited Iraq 11 times.

"What's happened there is nothing short of a miracle," he said.

2. He is as mentally deficient as Bush and both are......
'stark raving mad'. It sounds as if his comments were written by "The Onion".

3. He is completely out of his tiny rethuglican mind....
"Iraqi security forces now number 275,000 trained and equipped"...methinks Inhofe needs to put down the crack pipe and back away slowly...

What a moran.... :eyes:

6. Inhofe is a lunatic, and he is my Senator. NO, I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM!
The man is pathetic, to say the least, and as crazy as the current occupant of The White House. I am ashamed of my fellow Oklahomans, who are just too plain stupid to know better. Seriously, they are.

How else could I possibly explain his long tenure in the Senate? And the man has done NOTHING for Oklahoma, except embarrass those of us who know better than what we're told.

7. I feel SO Sorry for You
I believe your state may have the single WORST Senate delegation in the country. Inhofe and Coburn. :puke:

11. I am so sorry.
:cry:

There are no words.

Seriously, in New York, where I live, any single one of these statements would land a candidate for dog catcher on the outs of respectable society. It boggles my mind that someone with such transparently ignorant views could win election to a body with a national audience. This is like having crazy Uncle Lobotomy speak for the family instead of being sent to the attic where he belongs. I don't understand what Oklahoma was thinking, but then, I guess I just don't know Oklahoma. Is there any help for it?

14. Oklahoma has a Democratic Governor, but many of the Dems in
this state are "Republican Lite" if the truth be told. Inhofe isn't up for re-election this year, but hopefully the anti-GOP sentiment that's growing by leaps and bounds will be strong enough to boot his stupid, tired, old butt out in 2008. Seriously, the man is a fossil. Like he's dead already and nobody has noticed!

And he comes from such a fine, upstanding, Christian family, too. Inhofe is proud that he's never had any homosexuals in his family. (At least, that he knows of...) I called Inhofe's office after he made the comment about "no homos" and told them I was very proud that I have never had any "politicians" in my family! Fuckers.

I think there is hope for Oklahoma, but we do have a lot of people in cowboy hats that drive pickup trucks that think "libruls is bad". They mostly don't think. Most people do seem to be happy with the Dem Governor, though, and he's a nice guy who had a mess on his hands to clean up after our previous Republican Governor, Frank Keating. You may remember him, he was constantly putting his foot in his mouth, embarrassing the state. So, we are making progress... :eyes:

8. Those who didn't vote, voted for this asshole to represent them.
Assuming the elections aren't rigged (which isn't an assumption we should make), we get whoever the most of us vote for.

9. Bartcop could run his whole site on Pissquick alone
It's between him and Santorum for worst senator. Although there seem to be a few trying to bull their way to the top.

10. Besides his briefings in the Green Zone
...does Inhofe have any evidence of these Iraqis who are pleased about the US occupation intervention? Perhaps he has photos like this one from Kaloogian's calm and stable "Iraq" that he'd like to share with us?

13. That insane mad man should be in restrains
and locked up in a padded room out in the middle of BFE. It's amazing how these lunitics have such powerful high paying jobs. Mental evaluations should be required for all candidates running for office...especially when they get to write all the laws. :crazy:

17. It's sad that I immediately thought of a dozen possible pinheads
in the Senate when I saw your thread title. And yeah, he's one of them.

20. Well, You Were Thinking Of "A" Pinhead
What the OP meant was "THE" pinhead. There's several pinheads. But, Jimmy is THE pinhead in the Senate. Santorum is just a fake and stupid. Jimmy is a fake, stupid, and a bold-faced liar.

23. I'm embarrassed that idiot represents Oklahoma
My only consolation is that Inhofe wasn't born in Oklahoma. Neither was Coburn for that matter.

Inhofe was born in Iowa & Coburn was born in Wyoming. I wish we could send both of them back to their native states!

26. I knew it before I clicked the thread! An absolute embarrassment...
...and trust me the sensible people hereabouts know what an absurd farce of a politician he is. The rest just aren't paying attention. Or something.
