In an interview with the Washington Times, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) managed to cover a whole lot of territory when he criticized Sec. of State Hillary Clinton on her recent trip to India, and how she said America hadn’t done a good job on controlling carbon emissions while she was asking for international cooperation. Check this out:

There are some people out there that still believe in this hoax that man-made gases, anthropogenic gases, CO2, causes global warming. If they’re out there, let’s keep in mind you would have an increase in the net CO2 into the atmosphere if we were to pass this, because most of our, many of our manufacturing jobs go to places like India and like China, and to have the Secretary — where they don’t have any emissions standards. And in an environment like that, to have our Secretary of State go over to India and apologize for what we, bad old America, has done. I’m so tired of people apologizing for us.

I count four conservative standards in this one quote: 1) Man-made global warming is a hoax; 2) Cutting our carbon emissions won’t fix the problem of man-made global warming; 3) Hillary-bashing; and 4) Democrats apologize for America.

This is kind of like those puzzles where you have to count the total number of triangles in a collection of lines, including all the triangles that are formed out of individual smaller triangles. Can you spot any more?
