Oklahoma has sent some good men to the Senate. Starting with Robert L. Owen and Thomas P. Gore (uncle of Al) who were sent to Washington when Oklahoma first became a state, the state has elected men like Robert S. Kerr, J. Howard Edmondson, David Boren, and even Don Nickles to represent us in the U.S. version of the House of Lords. Now: Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn. My task today is to break down these two men and determine which is better, or more accurately, least bad. CRAZY IDEAS:
Jim Inhofe:"Global Warming is the greatest hoax ever." Based on the mantra, "the science is not settled" on global warming, Inhofe has led the opposition to former Vice President and nephew of former Oklahoma Senator Thomas Gore, Al Gore. Now, I understand if you want to be skeptical of the idea that climate change is going to cause catastrophic events in the vein of The Day After Tomorrow. It is an entirely different thing to pretend that the scientific community is arguing the existence of climate change. Sure there are some studies, mostly funded by companies who want to keep polluting, but there are probably some studies related to gravity, as well, but I'm pretty sure that debate is pretty settled. Anyway, what makes this a crazy idea has little to do with your belief in climate change, but rather why Inhofe believes the hoax is being perpetrated. Asked by CNN's Miles O'Brien what benefit there was in proclaiming global warming, Inhofe responded: "What kind of ratings would the weather channel have if suddenly people weren't scared anymore?" Good point, Senator. John Stewart will take that on later.
It's a good thing this guy is not on the senate's science committee. Oh wait, he used to chair that committee.
Tom Coburn: "Doctors who perform abortions should receive the death penalty."Politics aside, this is crazy due to hypocrisy. Coburn, is an obstetrician, so he has been asked many times if he has ever performed an abortion. Strangely, he refuses to answer.Advantage: Push. That's some good crazy.DAILY SHOW COVERAGE: Jim Inhofe:
