Now I am not a true Okie. I was not born there. I only lived in Tulsa for a short time, but in that time I became a devoted admirer of Will Rogers. Compare his political humor to Leno or Letterman or even The Early Show and you get the feeling that these young guys try too hard. After all:
"There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."
I am convinced that Rogers would be having a great time with one of his Senators were he still around. Is there anyone who so invited the rapier thrust of wit more than the great Senator James Inhofe?
You know, you and I are going to be talking about global warming, but one of the things you might want to keep in mind, is if you’re looking at, if our listeners out there throughout America are concerned about this $700 billion, well, at least that was a one shot deal. If you pass any of these cap and trades or any of the global warmings.
Now, I tried to parse these few sentences of the good Senator's but for the life of me I could not find the object. Of course he was talking to Bill Bennett and I assume that Bennett's Moral Compass was a bit off.
Well, as Will Rogers said:
"There ought to be one day-just one-when there is open season on senators."
Actually, I guess that I need to include Bennett along with Inhofe in this application of Will Roger's wit.
"If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, 'America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership."
