James Inhofe, among the assholiest of assholes...

Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) called the newly-certified senator from
Minnesota, Al Franken, a "clown" on Wednesday and said Franken's
presence in the Senate -- which gives the Democrats a "super-majority"
of 60 votes -- won't be enough to pass health care reform


This guy is a good candidate for rose bush stem therapy up his arse.

“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a
living he is a clown,’’ said Inhofe.“That’s what he does for a
living.’’

Inhofe was evidently referring to Franken's two-decade-long career as
a comedy writer for Saturday Night Live, during which he sometimes
appeared on camera as a performer.

In the 1990s, Franken began to shift his attention from comedy to
politics, penning best-selling books such as Lies and the Lying Liars
who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, and Rush
Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations.

After a nine-month legal battle against incumbent Norm Coleman,
Franken was certified the winner of Minnesota's 2008 senatorial race
this week, with a vote margin of little more than 300 votes.

"How utterly disrepectful and shameful," Carl Bentham writes on his
Talking Points memo blog. "Yes, Al Franken is a comedian and he has
made a lot of stupid jokes. But he's also proven himself to be
intelligent and knowledgeable about policy. To dismiss him as 'a
clown' is an ugly ad-hominem attack, a distortion of his character,
the sort of commentary one would expect from an pitiful schoolyard
bully rather than a United States Senator."

Inhofe is the hero of several here, including SW Tom, because like SW
Tom, he's against efforts to cut atmospheric emissions and, probably
like SW Tom, also is against the teaching of evolution, and against
unrestricted stem cell research, but...he does believe in the tooth fairy.

Inhofe was a failed businessman before he went into politics...like his
boy, Dubya.

9 months, 300 votes. Makes me wonder if Florida isn't that bad. I have
often wondered if our votes in Canada and the USA are cooked anyway. Who is
verifing our vote counters? Seriously, who is?

Especially in this day and age of technology and we count votes by hand.
Might I suggest all you hear about Diebold is a government rouse to
discredit electronic voting because they fear it's potential for fairness
and accuracy!

Say we voted electronically. The system could post the votes to 7 places, 6
electronic transactions and then print the 7th for paper records. Only once
all 6 electronic counters at differnet places and organizations were posted,
then the print reciept. The voter verifies the paper, folds it and vote is
complete.

Now the key is the 6 outside organizations, the government certainly would
be one. But say ABC, MSNBC, a few univercities and an independant of
government does the others. They should all add up the same of the election
was crooked. If 5 agree, 2 do not, then you have a probability on who the
crooked bunch are.

And for verification, SSN/SIN needs to be provided and must match the name.
That way you can't vote 5 times. Of if you are an illegal, well they could
flag it quick.

And the results can be instant, polls close at say 7, results by 7:01 as all
6 electronic post at the same time and immediately. It isn't like they need
the time to figure out how many cards to rig as not to get caught by
statists.

All the secrecy and closed door counting, and chad under the officers
desk... can't say our counting system is any better than Iran.

Now show us where Tom, and "several others" have ever uttered a word
about Inhofe, you liar.

Loogy, he's just pulling Tom's chain. Tom has enough sense to ignore
this type of crap from HK.
