Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) was interviewed on FOX News today for his reaction to ex-Republican Senator Arlen Specter’s decision to bolt to the Democratic Party.  Watch the interview:

Maybe I’m missing something here, but Sen. Inhofe’s points make absolutely no sense.  First, he claims there’s “people already starting to rebel against (the Obama agenda)”.  Huh?  Let’s see here…..if consistent 60-65% approval ratings, a Republican Party at it’s lowest ever popularity and voter identification and, for the first time in five years, more folks claiming the country is heading in the right direction are signs of a big rebellion then I guess we should give the point to Inhofe.  Yikes.

Then there’s the Senator’s explanation on Specter’s move as more evidence of the Republican resurgence.  Inhofe explains that Specter’s Republican challenger would likely beat him to win the GOP nomination and, according to Inhofe, Specter’s campaign manager advised Specter the only way he would win the Senate seat is to become a Democrat.  So, just switching to the Democratic Party gets you elected and that’s a sign of a big Republican resurgence?

Remember the character Jon Lovitz used to play on Saturday Night LIve – Tommy Flanagan from Pathological Liars Anonymous?  “Yeah….that’s the ticket”.
