Letterman Rips Sen. Inhofe for Newtown Comments

Comedian David Letterman didn't hold back last night in his criticism of Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, ripping the former Tulsa mayor for his recent (and quite idiotic) comments about the Newtown, Conn., parents who have been pushing for gun control legislation.

Unsurprisngly, the parents of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims have been outspoken about the need for background checks, limits on magazine capacity and other measures to control guns and gun violence.

But Inhofe recently claimed—without a shred of evidence—that it's all Obama's fault. He made them do it.

This is classic Inhofe, mouthing spurious right-wing talking points without regard to actual facts.

For his part, Letterman was having none of it, showing a portrait of a smiling Inhofe and naming him naming "Stooge of the Night." 

It's an "honor" richly deserved.

  1. Sadly, Inhofe is just one of the myriad of 'representatives' in congress that suffers from acute foot-in-mouth disease. It's also unfortunate that intelligent, compassionate and considerate legislation regarding background checks is being thwarted by these amoral cowards. I pray that someday enough people will wake up so that Alternative Tulsa becomes Mainstream Tulsa. Thanks for your reporting!
