Jim Inhofe and friends go the extra mile to show that the U.S. is led by morons

It’s one thing when political entertaining publicity whore Ann Coulter refers to John Edwards as a “faggot.” Such behavior is expected of someone who views being a political pundit as being equal to being a star on a “Girls Gone Wild” tape.

What hasn’t been expected is how eager many politicos are to emulate Coulter’s sluttish behaviors.

Take U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe at the Conservative Political Action Conference, for example.

“I have been called — my kids are all aware of this — dumb, crazy man, science abuser, Holocaust denier, villain of the month, hate-filled, warmonger, Neanderthal, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun,” said Inhofe. “And I can just tell you that I wear some of those titles proudly.”

Inhofe also added that he was upset that the Bush Administration had listed polar bears as a threatened species.

“They’re overpopulated,” he said. “Don’t worry about it: The polar bear is fine.”

All to rousing applause. Yes, idiocy is given a standing ovation. There was plenty more idiocy for the CPAC, where being a Holocaust-denying, misogynist, gay-bashing science-hater is considered cool.

Let it sink in. Because, we can think of ways to slow and eventually overcome the terrorist threat. We can become less addicted to foreign oil. We can do many things.

Of course, the fact-hating morons in charge and their fans will fight us the whole way. And that will be the biggest challenge, as being ignorant and ill-informed has never been more popular.
