Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okl, claims he overheard Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and Barbara Boxer, D-Calf, chatting about how out of control talk radio had become.

"They said we've got to do something about this," Inhofe told a talk radio host. (LINK) "That 'these are nothing but far right wing extremists, we've got to have a balance, there's got to be a legislative fix to this.'"

UPDATE: Boxer's and Clinton's offices got back to me.

"Senator Boxer told me that either her friend Senator Inhofe needs new glasses or he needs to have his hearing checked, because that conversation never happened," says Natalie Ravitz, the communications director for Boxer.

"Jim Inhofe is wrong," says Philippe Reines, Clinton's press secretary. "This supposed conversation never happened - not in his presence or anywhere else."

2. too bad. I wish they WERE doing something about it

and why ids Imhofe tattling like waht they said is a bad thing? Theres' no law against legislating for more fairness. Why is this a scandal???

He's speaking to the RW extremists, warning them that they'd better step up their attacks, becasue their outrageous domination is about to end.

3. Hard to mistake Sen. Clinton for Sen. Lott, but in Ihoffe's case

he's crazy and delusional enough to accomplish that one. IF (and that's a big if) any sort of conversation like that took place, I'd suspect it was Clinton and Boxer laughing about Lott's publicized comments about talk radio.
