Rachel Maddow: Sen. James Inhofe’s War With The FAA Is Really About His Horrible Flying

The Republican struggle to reducing government spending has taken many forms, one of which as of late has been an attempt to clamp down on the FAA’s pilot regulations. That effort is being led by Sen. James Inhofe in the Senate, which, Rachel Maddow notes, is rather curious, since the FAA reprimanded Sen. Inhofe lately for being a terrible pilot and almost landing his private plane on a closed runway full of people.

Sen. Inhofe, who Maddow takes great pleasure in addressing as “Mountain,” is an “amateur pilot” whose attempt to land a plane in South Texas recently terrified a number of construction workers. The landing of the small private plane was attempted on a runway, Maddow notes, explicitly marked closed. That didn’t stop Sen. Inhofe, however, who “decided to land his private plane on the runway anyway.” This, according to Maddow, “nearly caused an accident” and resulted in many construction workers being terrified, as an eyewitness audio account Maddow played clearly showed.

Maddow brings this up because Sen. Inhofe is now, as she put it, “going after the FAA with both barrels.” “He almost landed a plane on a group of construction workers on a closed runway, inexplicably, but now he’s the victim,” she noted. Sen. Inhofe was ordered to take remedial classes for the incident and was not fined, though he described the aftermath of the incident as full of dread in a way that was difficult to describe without having lived it. Much, Maddow concluded, like being a construction worker and watching a plane prepare to land right on top of your body.

Didn’t the FAA tell Maddow to quit flying her broom into the path of the geese?

Big government is what we need,right Maddow. Bigger and bigger government is what your fairy tales are written for.

Hey Rach, did ya hear:

Business Insider reports:

In its second week on Al Gore’s Current TV Countdown With Keith Olbermann lost nearly 30% of its total viewers and 30% of its demo viewers, reports Deadline.

“Olbermann attracted an average of 93,000 viewers in its target 25-to-54 demo, down 29% from the first week. The total audience, at 253,000, was down 28.5%.”

Ouch! Anything Mediaite!? You love promoting him, so why not report this?

SInce Life Expectancy in Indiana is 76 years, we’re figuring you have about 3 or 4 weeks left. Why do you ask?

For those of you new to the fun here, a little backstory on Gordon.

Gordon is a beloved talk show host. Based from his operations bunker, high atop the beacon that is Portage, Indiana, Gordon broadcasts to 0 cities everywhere and can be heard in no major, minor, or Boston Markets anyway. I remember listening to Gordon growing up as a kid in Orem, UT. The man was legend. He had a signature segment where callers would dial-in and for like HOURS he would berate them for using phony names. Man, I would be in stitches laughing it at it. It was just wonderful.

Gordon also is known for using the morning zoo format on his radio show. And by zoo, I mean he lives in a house with 37 cats and years of their piled up waste.. He was recently featured in an uplifting episode of “Animal Hoarders” that was the feel-good hit of this season.

He also once ran (into the ground, in fact) a little Mexican joint. But that is for our Entrepreneur of the Year segment, coming soon.

Everyone, a round of applause for this national treasure.

He’s lucky he didn’t kill anybody and that he still has his license. It’s a shame he has to use his power as a Senator to go after the FAA when he’s the one that screwed up.

Shame on you Inhofe!!
Nature Is Freaky

“Easy Money”

It’s difficult. It’s very tough.
I said to the man who’d been sleeping rough
To sit within a fragrant breeze
All among the nodding trees
That hang heavy with the stuff

He threw his arms around my neck
He brushed the tear from my cheek
And held my soft white hand
He was an understanding man
He did not even barely hardly speak

Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

All the things for which my heart yearns
Gives joy in diminishing returns
He kissed me on the mouth
His hands they headed south
And my cheek it burned

Money, man, it is a bitch
The poor, they spoil it for the rich
With my face pressed in the clover
I wondered when this would be over
And at home we are all so guilty-sad

Easy money
Pour it down the open drain
Pour it all through my veins
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

Now, I’m sitting pretty down on the bank
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
In the money-coloured meadows
And all the interesting shadows
They leap up, then dissipate

Easy money
Easy money
Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

Only MadCow, the so-and-so who rhymes with ‘Rich,’ would decide that THIS story merits attention. In the midst of Obamo’s ruination of the country and his deepening ineptitude, does she scream…”HEY…look over here at this ‘more important’ story! THIS is what you need to focus on!!’

What an Obamo breast-feeder she is. It might help if she had a pair to do it with.
Just4thefax

Fact: Were Maddow got lost was she tried to do her normal hit list barking out at republicans at any cost but she only excites people with names like America sucks, Nature is Freaky or even catfishjuggling show. That may be why she looks like where’s Pat the gender neutral nut job.

Gordon’s broadcasting empire spans the entire planet through a massive network of tubes.

How DARE the FAA try to make Senator Inhofe take a remedial flying safety course like some lowly peon!

Don’t they know who he IS?

Poor ignorant catfish, he keeps submitting stories to the Liars Club but he never wins. They can’t figure out who he is because he keeps hiding behind that phony name.
There are toooooo many lib liars that just because he works for Obama doesn’t help him. All lib liars work for Obama.
e83talus

Politicians don’t live in the real world and are very small minded people. As a US Senator I guess he thinks pilots should have the right to land where ever they want to land even if its on top of people.

Seriously? That’s the best you got? No wonder cat videos are getting more views than your “show.”

I saw a hobo today while walking into the office. The rant he was undertaking on the corner had more people watching than the average Gordon narrowcast.

BTW, that hobo? He used his real name.

Unfortunately we’re stuck with Senator Inhofe until his next election in 2014, barring a plane crash or something.

Yeah, and how ’bout that new “Pilot’s Bill Of Rights” that Senator Inhofe is working on. That’s something this country has needed since the Wright Brothers.

Think of all the JOBS that Senator Inhofe’s “Pilot’s Bill Of Rights” will create!

And when it comes to flying, naturally the teabaggers want a few regulations as possible. They don’t don’t want no government regulations picking the winners and losers, and it’s best to leave those things to the free markets, and gravity.

Lookie here Mia Kulpepper – Oklahoma’s unemployment rate was 5.3 in June. The housing market is steady and if you want to eat out on any given night, you’ll wait in line for at LEAST 45 minutes. No need to preach to me, but thanks any”how”

Senator Inhofe couldn’t possibly be as bad a pilot as Ms. MadCow portrays him to be. During the Clinton Administration Inhofe safely landed his plane which had lost it’s propeller. I wondered at the time if some Clintonite had sabotaged his airplane.

Inhofe is a straight shooter. That’s why the left hates him.
