Jim Inhofe is still an idiot (Part VI)

11:51 AM EDT on August 27, 2015

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 31: Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) (L) questions U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) during his confirmation hearing to become the next secretary of defense with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Capitol Hill January 31, 2013 in Washington, DC. President Barack Obama nominated Hagel, a controversial choice…

Senate Holds Confirmation Hearing For Chuck Hagel For Secretary Of Defense

In this installment of our ongoing series "Jim Inhofe Is Still An Idiot," we're taking a look at some of the comments our senile Senator said about Donald Trump and Barack Obama during a recent trip to Tulsa.

Let's get to the Trump comments first:

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe says he's the wrong guy to ask about the continued popularity of billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump.

"I thought it would last about three days and be over," Inhofe said Wednesday.

"People are really wanting something different," Inhofe said during a visit to the Tulsa World. "A group of them likes the things he's saying — and he'll say anything."

Uhm, couldn't you also say the same damn thing about Jim Inhofe? He says some of the most ridiculous things imaginable, but the Chamber of Commerce folks, oil companies and Derplahomans around the state still love him. Seriously, out of all the politicians in Washington, he's probably the closest thing we have to Donald Trump.

His rant of hypocrisy continues:

Trump is leading the crowded Republican presidential field by a wide margin in the polls, much to the dismay of many party regulars. To them, the flamboyant real estate tycoon is not just a loose cannon, he's a cannon rolling across the deck with its fuse lit and the muzzle pointed straight at the GOP's chances of winning the White House in 2016.

"He says some things I agree with," Inhofe said, "but he also says some things I know from experience are more complicated than he seems to realize."
