Fun with Sen. Inhofe

Fun with Sen. Inhofe updated

Priceless and so typical.

Breitbart and Drudge break an “exclusive,” claming Senators Clinton
and Boxer want to destroy talk radio, quoting Senator James Inhofe as being a witness to the conversation.

I was going over to vote the other day, and I was walking with two very liberal gals — they didn’t pay any attention to me being with them — and they were outraged by something that you said, or Rush Limbaugh said. Somebody said something that upset ‘em. They said, “We’ve got to do something about this. These are nothing but far right wing extremists. We’ve got to have a balance. There’s gotta be a legislative fix to this.” – Senator James Inhofe

One problem.

It never happened.

But something else has now surfaced. Inhofe is backtracking like crazy. All
of a sudden the morning “exclusive” has turned into a story that Inhofe
now says happened 3 years ago. (Video above is via TPM and Greg Sargent.)

Here’s the funny thing Neil, I’ve told this story well over 100 times on the radio, on TV, in the last three years. I was going up the elevator with them, this is about three years ago, to vote. And they are yelling and screaming and complaining about right wing radio, they’re all right wing we can’t let ‘em keep doing thhat. There’s gotta be a fix to this…” – Senator James Inhofe

So, which is it, senator? “The other day” or “three
years ago?”

Facts are such a pain.
