Barb Boxer handed Inhof his head during the Gore testi;mony.

[flamin lib]

Anybody see it and is there a video out there anywhere? Inhof was quizzing Gore and wouldn't let him answer. Boxer interrupted, stoped the clock on Inhof's time and told him that she would extend his time if he let Gore answer. Inhof said he'd let Gore have all the time he wanted after questioning. Boxer held up the gavel and said, paraphrasing,"You used to have this, now you don't. You don't get to make the rules."

God, I'd love to have a vid of that.

Does KO's site have video of the show?

Boxer was terrific. Inhofe was an ass.

11. Boxer, the nurturing parent.

OMG. Taking him by the arm and calmly explaining how the world works now. The shot of Gore bemusedly but respectfully looking on.

I have not the words to describe how special that was. How amazing, how eciting and satisfying. How humiliating for Inhofe and how delicious for me.

I tried to call the Washington number the they were swamped. I will call in the morning and gush like a schoolboy at whoever picks up.

The power has shifted. Only military impedance by the RNC private armies will stop us.

15. Inhofe DESERVED to be hammered over the head

But Barbara was wonderful! "I'd like to talk to you for a minute" Beautiful! Sounded just like my mother when I was bad!
