THE NATION
After Fred Thompson received the endorsement of former Virginia Senator George Allen this week, I wondered which scandal plagued politician would back Thompson next. Larry Craig? Ted Stevens?
Turns out the honor goes to Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the former chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee who once called the threat of global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He then compared Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
In a campaign press release, Inhofe praised Thompson for his "deep character and principle."
Looks like folksy Fred won't be going green any time soon........
