Good Faith Republicans: James Inhofe Edition

Then there's (4.00 / 1)

this.

The angry crowd at McCain's town hall were supporters of health care reform.

Here is the somewhat funny part:

When McCain was trying to answer questions from reporters after the town hall, one audience member yelled at him that he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance companies every year.

In a voice of feigned surprise, McCain said "Really? I didn't know that."

What's the matter with Oklahoma? (0.00 / 0)

Its amazing that they re-elect this guy. I mean, he has been in OK politics forever, and in the Senate for about 15 years, so it's not as if his record is unknown. And yet.... re-elected he is. OK's other senator is also pretty bad- together they may be the worst tag-team in the Senate.

My only explanation is the Daily Oklahoman, the biggest rag by circulation in the state and called by the Columbia Journalism Review "the worst  newspaper in the country" (and yes, they know about our own UL).
