Horrible people of faith: James Inhofe

[Voltaire2]

Born: November 17, 1934

Senator from Oklahoma since 1994.

James Mountain "Jim" Inhofe or 'Senator Snowball' (born 17 November 1934) is the batshit wingnut who currently serves as the senior Senator from the state of Oklahoma. God help them.

He is one of the leading global warming deniers in Congress, and is well known for having called it "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He is also one of the Republican Party's leaders in the culture wars, and is bucking to be a candidate for the Légion des Crèches Américain with crossed Tannenbaums in the War on Christmas. This should come as no surprise considering that he's a member of the fundamentalist bloc called The Family.

In the hours following the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Inhofe made a statement on TV that pissed off a lot of federal employees. When asked about casualties, he said that he doubted that there would be many because, since the federal offices opened at 9 a.m., most of the employees would probably still be somewhere else drinking coffee.[3] (The bombing occurred at 9:02 a.m.) However, when Bill Clinton said that the demagogy on conservative talk radio contributed greatly to this act of domestic terrorism — a claim that Clinton reiterated on the 15th anniversary of the event[4] — Inhofe was outraged both times because he thought that Clinton was trying to politicize the bombing.

1. There was a story that he was sued by his family (or his church) for dirty dealings

Story was developed during his campaign for senate by now dead editor of OK Observer. He said no one would publish it. That's how powerful Inhofe was and is in OK.

In his early yrs as senator, he made a speech on the senate floor saying the land of Israel belonged forever to the Jews. Proof? God gave it to them. Says so in verses from OT. Such stances play very well in OK. Shows why info about conflict with his church would hurt him with voters.
