U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Tuesday he will again head the Senate committee overseeing transportation and environmental regulation if Republicans win control of the upper chamber in November.He's right, of course. The Republican method of governance is to put people in charge of things ironically; this is how you get people like Rep. Michele Bachmann on the "Intelligence Committee" and noted environment-not-believer-in, public-works-hating Sen. Jim Inhofe on the "Environment and Public Works Committee." As ranking Republican, Inhofe would re-assume control of the committee unless Republicans, in an episode of sudden onset embarrassment, tweaked the rules to prevent it. Which isn't likely.
And what a committee chairman he would be, back in his old chair! Think Darrell Issa, but lazier:
Unabashedly, Inhofe blamed just about every problem presented him by port tenants on the Obama administration.What a nice fellow."I forget your question, but that's the answer," he said at one point.
