Back on 17 April, Hot Politics! noted the masquerades of Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma ([Inhofe and Truth](http://www.opendemocracy.net/blogs/page/climateChange/20050417#four%5Fpillars%5Fof%5Ffoolery)).

Hot Politics! failed to note on 19 April a complete demolition of Senator Inhofe by [Chris Mooney](http://www.chriscmooney.com/?ref=opendemocracy.net).

Mooney's article is a must read. Inhofe's claim to coherence and honesty with regard to this issue is utterly destroyed. This will probably do no harm to him as a politician in a culture where the [ecstasy of unreason](http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20050501facomment84303/fritz-stern/reflection-lessons-from-german-history.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) is securely embedded.
