Watching C-Span live does have its rewards.
When Al Gore was there last week to speak on the topic of global warming, Imhofe (Republican Senator from creationist state of Oklahoma) tried to choke the speaking-air right of Gore by asking him questions and then not letting him answer. He even told GOre he was "full of crap" and that global warming was the equivalent of the propaganda of the Third Reich.
I was stunned - not because a Senator could behave so badly, they do it all the time, but rather because Inhofe was so willfully ignorant of everything in the universe and in world history, and he just couldn't help himself from putting it on record (an thus on Youtube.com).
The best part of the broadcast was when Barbara Boxer smacked Inhofe down, telling him he had to follow the rules of order and let Gore answer. Then she reminded the Dummkopf from Oklahoma that SHE was now Chairperson of the committe, a result of the Democratic process in the United States, and that he was nt making up the rules of committe.
It was great to watch and was no doubt just a preview of what we have to look forward during the upcoming election season.
