Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Ok.) after stating the cap-and-trade bill will be “dead in the water” upon its arrival in the Senate, then proceeded to call his newest colleague, Al Franken, a “clown.”

Whether the Senator’s observations on Franken are right, wrong, or indifferent, you can bet you bottom dollar what will be concentrated on by the media is that Inhofe called him a clown. Not educating the populace on what is the more important issue, that cap-and-trade is a very expensive tax.
