What is it about today that every conservative jerk imaginable is creeping out from under their rock to proclaim their idiocy to the world? Here is Republican Senator James Inhofe taking his turn at being Dick of the Day. When you distill all the bullshit and doublespeak from this statement, you are left with a single conclusion: Inhofe is a racist bucket of slime.
I’m, for one — I know it’s not politically correct to say it — I believe in racial and ethnic profiling. I think if you’re looking at people getting on an airplane and you have X amount of resources to get into it, you get at the targets, and not my wife. And I just think it’s something that should be looked into. The statement that’s made, it’s probably 90 percent true with some exceptions like the Murrah federal office building in my state, Oklahoma. Those people, they were not Muslims, they were not Middle Easterners. But when you hear that not all Middle Easterners or Muslims between the age of 20 and 35 are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims or Middle Easterners between the age of 20 and 35, that’s by and large true. And I think that sometime we’re going to have to — at least, I’m going to have to have a better answer than I give the people back home, when people board planes or get into environments such as the environment we’re dealing with with this report.

“…all terrorists are Muslims or Middle Easterners between the age of 20 and 35, that’s by and large true…” I’ll bet the IRA would be surprised to hear that. “Oy, Mick, you goin’ to the Mosque tonight?” The Basque ETA in Spain as well. Doesn’t the U.S. Constitution have some requirement that you can’t elect a certifiable Moron to public office?
It might not be illegal to be stupid but perhaps it should be and Paul’s correct, Inhofe is leaving out a whole bunch of terrorists by narrowing his scope

It is not illegal to be stupid. That way most government managers are immunte from prosecution.
