Senator Inhofe, seen here with the last remaining African American in Oklahoma, strikes again. Remember boys and girls, this is the man who says climate change is the biggest hoax ever foisted on the American people and that it's all just a conspiracy manufactured by the Weather Channel, Al Gore, and Commies, so take what you about to read with a grain of salt.
He now claims that the media made up all those stories about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction, not the White House, not the thugs in Rummy's defense department, not the intellectual twinkies in the State department. Yes sirree Bob, it was that dang ol' liberal media again. He said this in the debate about the bill to pay for the war on Iraq:
Inhofe, speaking to the press before Cheney’s arrival, lambasted Democrats for Thursday’s Senate vote to begin withdrawal from Iraq by Oct. 1 and the press for “mischaracterizing” the reasons for U.S. involvement.
“The whole idea of weapons of mass destruction was never the issue, yet they keep trying to bring this up,” Inhofe said. […]
Pressed for an explanation, Inhofe said weapons of mass destruction were “incidental” to the decision to invade Iraq.
“The media made that the issue because they knew Saddam Hussein had used weapons of mass destruction.”

Hang on does anyone remember what he said on the WMD issue before the invasion of Iraq?
Yep.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) in August 2002:
Our intelligence system has said that we know that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction — I believe including nuclear. There’s not one person on this panel who would tell you unequivocally that he doesn’t have the missile means now, or is nearly getting the missile means to deliver a weapon of mass destruction. And I for one am not willing to wait for that to happen.

Sorry boys and girls, no word on if he made either of these statements with a straight face.
In other right wing nut bag news, Richard Perle, seen here getting a happy ending from a massage that was being given to him by USAID's Tobias's "masseuse," has his words come back to haunt him. Check out the story with video links at Think Progress. In case you are too lazy to click on the link on the side of this blog, then go ahead and use this link to the story:
Our simian intuition tells us all of this is going to get a lot weirder before it gets better. It's times like these we wish Hunter S. Thompson hadn't offed himself so he could be around to write about the "weird bad craziness" that is plaguing and engulfing our national government.
