[Catherine Vincent]

1. Gore!

:)

[LSK]

2. Gore to Inhofe: I am sitting here wondering how I can get through to you

You should have breakfast with me and our common friend (missed the name).

[BattyDem]

3. "I am sitting here wondering how I can get through to you"

Al ... you can't. He's a lost cause.

[Dr Fate]

8. Sounds like President Gore is comming across as the reasonable one.

No suprise to me.

[AlGore-08.com]

11. But Inhofe did agree to meet with him privately

eom...

[BattyDem]

37. I hope they do meet and he maintains an open mind ...

but if the guy doesn't get it by now, I don't think he ever will. Let's face it ... if a picture of a polar bear sitting on a freakin' ice cube doesn't make you believe, nothing will. :-(

[kirby]

42. Here is what I would have said...

Lets for a moment assume that you are correct and this whole thing is about money. Why are you wanting to stifle corporate interests on this issue? If in your estimation, Sen Inhofe, there is a lot of money to be made, why are you so against the USA and Oklahoma sharing in that wealth?

[BattyDem]

45. LOL ... that's good!

:toast:

[CottonBear]

4. Can you add a link to thread #1 in your OP. Thanks! n/t

[Beaverhausen]

9. done

[AlGore-08.com]

5. Talking to Inhofe like he wasn't nuts... how much self control does that take?

Wow...

[Vadem]

48. Did you notice Sen. Warner looking at Inhofe with disgust?...n/t

[SharonRB]

6. I hope they bring a referee when they go out for breakfast

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. Thanking again the DU livebloggers!

What a day! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[LSK]

10. Boxer is letting him ask all his questions, Inhofe is a big baby

[SharonRB]

17. He sure is

[Hepburn]

12. What EXACTLY is Imhofe's point??

Assuming he has one ~~ just to argue with Gore for argument's sake or does he actually have a point?

Sheesh!

[El Supremo]

13. From Wikipedia:

"Inhofe received a B.A. degree from the University of Tulsa in 1973, at the age of 38.

In his business career, Inhofe was a real estate developer and became president of the Quaker Life Insurance Company. That company went into receivership while he managed it; it was liquidated in 1986, and despite a two year investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into accounting irregularities connected with the failure, Inhofe was never charged with any criminal offenses, and has since denied any wrongdoing."

[BigBearJohn]

14. "Jim" Inhofe is a fucking dumb arrogant prick. No other way to say it

Please excuse my french.

[Hepburn]

22. I would not put him that high on the food scale....

...but that is just me.

[Daphne08]

15. Inhofe is acting like a spoiled brat.

I've never seen anything like it.

[jannyk]

16. Imhofe - last frame in movie says 'are you ready to

change way you live'. I'm asking you same question and you are refusing to do it.

[Dr Fate]

18. Gore said that or you said that?

Sorry- cube rat here...

[jannyk]

32. Imhofe said that - accusing Gore of not walking walk!

[Shoelace]

28. Gore's city won't allow solar panels on roofs! (phew, is Inhofe thru w/rant now?

(God what a fracking rant he did - what a fool) unless they can be put in such a way so as to not be seen by neighbors, etc.
The city's rule is about to be changed.

[SharonRB]

35. The way their new law is being written is ridiculous

Solar panels cannot be viewed from neighboring properties or from the street. Luckily, Al's house has some flat areas where they won't be able to be seen. His contractor is going to reapply for a permit when the law changes next month.

[Dr Fate]

36. Did Gore say this?

n/t

[Shoelace]

43. just read that on the news this am, will try to find article

and post it later on. I couldn't believe the rules in Nashville or at least in this particular part of the city.

[Dr Fate]

46. I wish Gore would say it. HEY DUers- please be clear on who is saying what!!

Lots of great info is appreciated- but please be clear if this is old info or info being said in real time...

[SharonRB]

47. Here's the USA Today article

http://www.usatoday.com/weather/climate/globalwarming/2007-03-20-gore-solar_N.htm

[doublethink]

19. Inhofe

Is a joke. Next.

[Beaverhausen]

20. Is this all Inhofe has? accusing Gore of not "walking the walk?"

[jannyk]

24. Yep - that and it's cold in winter!!!

[Dr Fate]

25. So what is Gore's retort? n/t

n/t

[Beaverhausen]

30. Explained that he lives a 'carbon neutral' lifestyle

and that american want to be able to change

[underpants]

26. Yeah he showed the "Are you ready to change the way you live?" line from the movie

based on that BS Tenn "thinktank" group crap

[Greylyn58]

21. Inhofe is a real gass-bag...

and with all the hot air billowing from him, he is really contributing to Global Warming.

[helderheid]

23. Thanks for the new thread - REC THIS THREAD!

[Shoelace]

34. yes!

[Breeze54]

27. The Deranged Mind of James Inhofe

The Deranged Mind of James Inhofe

Maybe the Dumbest US Senator of Them All

http://www.counterpunch.org/jackson05122004.html

By BRUCE JACKSON

:rofl:

[Guaranteed]

29. Good answer from Gore- the American people ARE changing. nt

[underpants]

31. Sen. Klobuchar "Unlike Sen. Inhoffe in Minnesota we believe in science"

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

38. THAT was choice! n/t

[keithjx]

33. Thanks Beaverhausen!

This is great!

:popcorn:
KJ

[Dr Fate]

40. yes- thank you! n/t

n/t

[ezgoingrl]

39. For all the good it will do, I just emailed Inhofe.

First,I am finding your behavior during the questioning period of Al Gore's testimony to be infantile. You have been abrasive and confrontational. Once again, you been outclassed by Al Gore, who has the good sense to use manners and tact! Here is a concept that I think that you would do well to grasp; Even if you say "excuse me" or "I don't want to be rude" if your behavior is RUDE then you are in fact, BEING RUDE.

Second, of course there are going to be days of cold weather in the winter. The evidence of Global Warming is not found in cold days. The evidence of Global Warming is found in rising AVERAGE temperatures. Your logic is flawed and statements to the contrary are false as well as misleading.

In the future, please represent the people of Oklahoma in a respectful and informed manner. Today, I am ashamed to be from Oklahoma.

[The Doctor.]

67. Very well put. n/t

[BigBearJohn]

41. I want to stay and listen to this but have to leave. Is it being recorded for later?

Does anyone know?

[jannyk]

44. Probably - they said they are replaying the congressional

hearing again later.

[SharonRB]

49. Warner is being respectful

This is how a senator should speak.

[trumad]

50. Warner was great ---so far with Gore.

[keithjx]

51. Sen Warner (R-Va)

My God, civil discourse!!! Good question. Do we have the technology today to do what you are asking?
KJ

[DesertRat]

52. Sen. Warner says he has a lot to learn on the issue.

[jannyk]

53. Warner is a surprise - wants to learn and wants to

work with chairman - very respectful and asking good questions - no landmines.

[SharonRB]

57. I have a lot of respect for him

[Beaverhausen]

54. Isn't it great how Gore has all this info at his fingertips?

I mean, I know he has been speaking about it for years, but still, this is so great to hear.

[JackBeck]

58. You just read my mind.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Beaverhausen]

61. compare him to Bush answering any questions about any issue

God, I hope he runs!!!

[JackBeck]

65. Uhhh. I 'precite the question. It's hard work.

Bush is a jingoist. Gore is an intellectual.

[jannyk]

55. Bernie Saunders up now

[JackBeck]

56. Bernie!!!

[SharonRB]

60. Yeah, Bernie people are frustrated with the political process

So tell Al he needs to run for president (not that that will change the process, but at least the correct process would be followed).

[FogerRox]

59. Here's Bernie

[SharonRB]

62. Hey, Roger!

:hi:

[FogerRox]

78. Sup Sharon

[Beaverhausen]

63. What a great set-up that was by Saunders

[BigBearJohn]

64. God, how I love Gore. What a leader. What a PRESIDENT. I look up to him.

When is the last time we LOOKED UP to a president?

[jannyk]

66. Bernie giving Gore platform to explain how

reducing carbon emmisions can create economic opportunities. How US is behind world in Solar/Wind/Alternative energies.

[mzmolly]

68. Inhofe (on edit) >>> Bond is an asshat.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

[JackBeck]

70. Bond, another self-promoting asshat.

[mzmolly]

81. Ahh, I confused the two apparently.

Easy to do given they both look and sound like this >

[mzmolly]

76. Apparently the asshole is unaware that CHENEY and BUSH are the reasons the poor childs family

can't pay heating bills.

(Bond is holding up a picture of a child who's family can't pay heating bills claiming that freezing c02 emissions would encourage suffering among the poor etc...)

[loudsue]

92. Can't pay bills due to REPUBLICAN policies!!

The asshat forgot to finish the sentence.

:kick:

[Beaverhausen]

69. Ok what is this guys point?

[JackBeck]

72. "It's all about me!!!"

Reminds me of some Lounge posters.

[jannyk]

73. Bond? That ordinary peeps can't afford to be 'green'?

[Beaverhausen]

75. oh- well he needs to let Gore answer

or he needed to be paying attention to his last answer, where he talked about some of these issues.

[kirby]

74. Global Warming is good

becuase while 2000 people might die from extreme heat, 20000 will no longer die from extreme cold. So Global Warming is saving the children by a net 18000.

[joshcryer]

71. Kit Bond is about to get pwned, Gore already addressed these issues.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

80. Kitty says sun

spots cause global warming.

[FogerRox]

86. HE HE, yeah Bond did get pwned

[jannyk]

77. Bond says 'sunspots' cause global warming not humans!?

[doublethink]

79. Kit Bond personally planted 10,000 trees !!!!!

PERSONALLY GOT OUT THERE WITH A SHOVEL ONE DAY AND PLANTED 10,000 of them ::eyes:

[trumad]

82. For the wood....

[FogerRox]

88. wood equals, hmmmmm Timber, aka 2x4 lumber

[jannyk]

83. Lautenberg next..

[SharonRB]

85. He subtly put down Inhofe

:woohoo:

[joshcryer]

84. WTF, they didn't let Gore give a response to Kit Bond.

He totally destoryed him over the sunspot thing, but I wanted Gore to address the affordablity of heating.

[SharonRB]

87. He did

Boxer gave him time to do that part.

[joshcryer]

96. He just said yeah I agree.

[jannyk]

89. Lautenberg just invoked 'luddites' LOL

[JackBeck]

90. Hitting the Bush Administration and their placement

of unqualified appointments.

[jannyk]

91. Gore: morally wrong for those with no science to

censure reports from scientific community for political reasons.

[JackBeck]

95. "I remember a time when this would anger both sides of the aisle"

paraphrase, of course.

[Shoelace]

98. and to serve their big oil, coal interests too - give 'em hell Gore!

was hoping he'd address this issue since Inhofe et al are such a part of said consortium along with scientists like Lindzen (a good friend of Exxonmobil) etc.

[jannyk]

93. Isakson up next

[CottonBear]

103. Oy! Isakson is one of my idiot Republic senators.

I'm sure that The Southern Company and Georgia Power have their hooks in him. More nuclear! More coal fired plants! More dams and reservoirs! More air polliution!
:grr:

[AlGore-08.com]

94. "Standing up for truth should not be a partisan issue" GO MR PRESIDENT!

eom

[jannyk]

97. Isakson proposing nuke energy as solution.

[LSK]

99. Gore says the biggest problem with nukes is cost

They call come in "extra large".

[Iwasthere]

100. WOW! Intelligent man

At least double the IQ of the madman sitting his chair.

[jannyk]

101. Gore knocking that one on the head - cost high and

acceptance low. Disposal of waste major problem.

[keithjx]

102. Question:

How is nuclear energy "non-polluting"? Isakson said this at least twice....
KJ

[Iwasthere]

108. LeiberF##$ up now...

This must feel a little awkward for this idiot.

[CottonBear]

109. It's not. and anyway, Isakson doesn't care about pollution. n/t

[jannyk]

104. Lieberman Up

[shield20]

105. Damn he/Gore IS smart - he has all he facts down cold!! nt

[Guaranteed]

106. Bwahaha Lieberman. nt

[SharonRB]

107. Oy -- it's LIEberman

How weird is this?

[Javaman]

113. Uh oh. AWKward!!!! nt

[Hepburn]

110. LIEberman up. n/t

[laylah]

111. ...

:puke: Lieberman is on ...

Jenn

[jannyk]

112. Wow, Lieberman actually supports the Dem position

I'm gobsmacked!!

[SharonRB]

114. Well, dontcha know he IS a Democrat?

:sarcasm:

[SaveElmer]

115. You shouldn't be...he has always been strong on t he environment...nt

[Turn CO Blue]

119. Credit where credit is due - even to HolyJoe -

[Dr Fate]

123. Hell-why not? Thanks Joe( I ) !! n/t

n/t

[Dr Fate]

122. I guess it was a reference to the fact that Lieberman is not a Democrat.

And that his CT Independent Party has been at odds with REAL, loyal DEMS a time or two over main issues.

I'm glad he is on my side on this one- maybe we can get him to switch over to the DEMS someday. ;)

[Dr Fate]

117. Focus testing works in our favor from time to time. n/t

n/t

[jannyk]

116. Lieberman: we have a real chance to do something

about this - sooner than I thought we would.

[SharonRB]

118. If Gore does run, maybe Joe will actually support a Dem

[Turn CO Blue]

121. Well, Joe did just say his mom was a big fan of Al!
