stupid sociopathic personality. --You got it. He also has a special way with slack jawed trailer trash. Lots of those folks out there and unfortunately, many of them vote. Big oil gives him the extra added campaign ad firepower. In 2010, his largest donors represented the oil and gas ($429,950) and electric utilities ($206,654) Not above personal political vendetta legislation, either: Trained by the US Navy, Inhofe is one of the few national politicians who is licensed as a commercial pilot. In 1994, when he first ran for the U.S. Senate, he used his plane as a daily campaign vehicle to crisscross Oklahoma and visit almost every town in the state.[60] He has been influential in Senate and Congressional debates involving aircraft regulation.[61] On October 21, 2010, Inhofe landed his Cessna on a closed runway at a south Texas airport, scattering construction workers who ran for their lives as his plane hopscotched over them and six vehicles. Shortly after Inhofe landed, Sidney Boyd, who was supervising construction on the closed runway, called the FAA. During the recorded call, Boyd said Inhofe's antics "scared the crap out of" workers, adding that the Cessna "damn near hit" a truck.[62] In response to the incident, Inhofe stated that he "did nothing wrong", and accused the FAA of "agency overreach" and causing a "feeling of desperation" in him. He agreed to take a remedial training program, and the FAA agreed not to pursue legal action against him if he took the program. In July of 2011, Inhofe introduced a bill to create a "Pilot's Bill of Rights" which he said would increase fairness in FAA enforcement actions. en.wikipedia.org
