Judd Legum at Think Progress reports some outrageous claims by Inhofe: Yesterday, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) attacked Al Gore and global warming science, claiming that Gore was "full of crap" on global warming.
As of when I'm writing this post, a Google News search for the words "Inhofe" and "treason" returns no hits. When I search on "Inhofe" and "sedition", I get the same results. That's also true for a search on the milder combination of "Inhofe" and "inappropriate". What the hell is going on here?
I caught a portion of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing regarding the California CO2 Waiver on CSPAN last night.

Actually, it was a load of crap. It repeated lies like "Most of his tirade was based on the MSM's coverage of alternating scientific predictions of global warming and cooling over the last 100 years." (referring to Greg Easterbrook). It didn't mention the fact that the MSM had given very nearly balanced coverage to the scientific consensus, and a small band of dissenters. It didn't mention the 'think tanks' which have spent considerable effort casting doubt upon the science.
