Somebody at the Daily Show thread at TWoP posted this link. It may be one of the most awesome senator hearing moments ever. Boxer lays the smack down on Inhofe. It takes place during Al Gore's testimony on global warming.

Paraphrased quote: Elections have consequences. You don't make the rules anymore. I make the rules.

The fact that I keep misreading his name as "Ihole" isn't helping matters. hehehe

Gore did ramble on. He could have made his none yes/no answer more succinct.
1) I have a large house than the average person and that will cost more to run.
2) I use renewable energy which is cleaner and more costly.
3) Unless the rules are changed to make the clean fuel more readily available to everyone, the costs will always be higher and as such I will not be able to, now or in a year, be able to follow that pledge.

Still long and not a yes/no, but way more on target than his answer.
