Jon Stewart on Inhofe and Climategate

inhofeSen. James Inhofe may be wrong, wrong, wrong on climate change but he has a great sense of humor. 

He drives a 1987 Cadillac (that probably gets 15 MPG highway… tops) and the Web page for the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is an always entertaining collection of stories — many unflattering — about him. 

To wit: this clip posted on the minority page yesterday in which Jon Stewart bemoans the idiocy of the Climate Research Unit scientists, whose nasty emails and sloppy record keeping have set back public perception of global warming by years. Stewart calls the leaked emails “catnip” to skeptics like Inhofe. See the clip after the jump.

He says of Inhofe: 

That guy thinks global warming is debunked every time he drinks a slushy and gets a brain freeze. ‘If global warming is real, why does my head hurt?”
