Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) just can’t get any respect. Nearly a month ago, he went to the climate change conference in Copenhagen to explain that global warming was a “hoax” conceived by the United Nations and spread by the “Hollywood elite.” But the European press would have none of it. A German reporter even told the the cowboy boot-wearing senator that he was “ridiculous.” Inhofe suffered his latest indignity at the hands of Rolling Stone, which awarded him the 7th spot on its list of the “planet’s worst enemies.”
Inhofe took this as a slight. “I should have been number one,” he told KFAQ radio in Tulsa, “I guess [Warren] Buffet has a lot more money so he went first.”
Inhofe also aired his grievances in an interview with the Tulsa World. “My first response was I should have been number 1, not number 7,” he said. “I am serious about that. I have spent now literally years on this thing, and it has been a long, involved thing.”
