The Tulsa World is mighty proud of Senator James Inhofe. They’re so proud they print almost everything he says, blissfully unaware of how absurd and/or revealing it is. Por ejemplo:

Inhofe called the United Nations an “absolute disaster” whose peacekeepers in Africa have been “going around teaching girls to be prostitutes.”

This statement about Africa, the UN, and prostitution came in the second paragraph of an article entitled “Inhofe optimistic on Iraq.”

I applaud Inhofe’s exposure of the UN’s child prostitution extravaganza (no doubt brought on after their perusal of our sex trade kerfluffle), but I think it’s irresponsible of him to refuse to highlight its sustained efforts to prevent unicorn extinction and its involvement in turning Mordor into a bumpin’ tourist hotspot.

Eventually, Inhofe does talk Iraq:

“What’s happened there is nothing short of a miracle,” he said.

Don’t be modest, James. It’s the best miracle ever.

Most miracles whack one, maybe five people. But to slaughter tens of thousands of civilians? That miracle blew up like an IED from heaven, yo! Praise god for the miracle of mass murder for selfish gain.

Oh, wait. Maybe James meant that it’s a miracle Bush managed to trick the American people into letting the Rethugs waltz in and spray the area. After all, even Bush admits now that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Either way, totally praise the baby Jesus for that one.

Nevertheless, Inhofe said the current international situation makes him “wistful for the Cold War.”

No point in hiding it anymore, is there?

“Then we had one powerful opponent, in the Soviet Union,” he said. “They were predictable; we knew what they had. This is not predictable.”

When most of us kneel by the side of our beds with our hands cupped together, we aren’t asking for a return to the Cold War. We’re asking for 0 major enemies instead of 1 with thousands of warheads pointing at us. You might remember this from such periods as the Clinton administration. Or did I dream all of that? Because lately it sure feels like I dreamed all of that.

Meanwhile, allow me to deconstruct the wildly unpredictable mind of the “enemy” for James: if you invade, occupy, harrass, or meddle with a country unfairly, the people who call it their home might come f*** with you. Now, if we think back to cause and effect, is there a way you might be able to change your actions to reduce the threat of “the enemy,” James? (Hint: it doesn’t involve spreading lies about the UN and prostitution.)

He reiterated his belief that global warming is largely a front for international economic movements.

“I see this, I see this, and I know it’s true,” he said.

It does, however, have everything to do with spreading lies about global warming.

So keep your head in the sand with the Senator, folks, but leave those pockets accessible, please. We have “unpredictable” enemies to create.

“If people knew we’re spending more money on the cockheaded woodpecker in Florida than the defense of our country, they’d be outraged.” -James Inhofe
