Boxer goes a round with Inhofe on global warming

Global warming-denier and Senator James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), who has said former Vice President Al Gore is "full of crap," decided at a recent hearing to ask the former Veep the kinds of questions Senators like to ask - ones that the Senators don't allow their subjects to answer. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California), who took over as Chair of the Environment Committee from Inhofe when the Democrats took control of Congress, raised her gavel and reminded him that he doesn't get to make the rules anymore because "elections have consequences." She then allowed Gore to proceed. While my personal run ins with Sen. Boxer don't exactly endear her to me, it was fun to watch this exchange.
