Update: Inhofe Tipped to UN “Brainwashing” by Former Limbaugh ProducerThe U.N. conference on global warming in Nairobi was nothing more than a “brainwashing session,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) declared yesterday. As we noted then, Inhofe — a man of science — wasn’t basing that on firsthand knowledge, but on the word of his staff who attended the event.
Who was this expert staffer? Press accounts identify him as Marc Morano, who isn’t a scientist but is Inhofe’s press flack. Morano is also a former reporter and producer for the Rush Limbaugh show, according to an online biography of the gentleman.
TPMmuckraker editorial guidelines strictly prohibit the writing of completely obvious punch lines. So I will only point out the building blocks — Inhofe, “brainwashing,” expert, Rush Limbaugh Show — and let readers construct their own.
