Oklahoma Sen. Inhofe makes peace with McCain

By Ron Jenkins

Sen. Jim Inhofe says he has made peace with John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, whom Inhofe has sparred with in the past over global warming and other issues.

Inhofe said he and McCain are friends, despite their differences, but McCain has three "very, very close friends" in the Senate and one of them is first-term Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

"And later on, I ran into John in the cloak room and he said: 'Look, Jimmy, we've had our differences of opinion...but I'm going to be president and you're going to be chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and we're going to need each other."

If McCain were to be elected president, Inhofe would become the ranking member of the powerful committee. Democrats would have to lose control of the Senate for him to become chairman.

Inhofe is the Senate's No. 1 critic of the idea of manmade global warming and is a supporter of drilling in Anwar, while McCain has said global warming is a threat and has opposed drilling in the Alaska refuge.

1. Inhofe and Coburn: Poor Oklahoma.

What are they thinking down there? How could one state send two mega-assholes on a scale rarely seen in U.S. history to the Senate at the same time, from a small state?
