Great! ----- Inhofe Upsets Democratic Aides Congressional Democratic aides are crying foul after Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, allowed a fellow from the Competitive Enterprise Institute to represent him at what Democrats said was a closed-door meeting on global warming. The meeting, which was requested by the United Nations and hosted by the State Department, was intended, Democrats said, to brief congressional staffers on a series of climate change reports required by the international body. But Christopher Horner, a fellow at the anti-regulation think tank, also sat in on the meeting -- telling the group that he was from the institute, representing the senator. Democrats described his attendance as highly unusual and a breach of congressional protocol. One aide said Horner would have been escorted from the meeting had the other staffers initially realized who he was -- and had they not been afraid of making a scene before their international visitors. Both Horner and a spokesman for Inhofe scoffed at the Democrats' complaints. The spokesman said the meeting, in fact, was not limited to congressional staffers. Horner, meanwhile, said senators are allowed to designate outside representatives and that Democrats have previously allowed their own outside partisans to sit in on what were ostensibly closed congressional meetings. But the White House appears to have sided with the Democrats on this one: An e-mail announcing a subsequent meeting on the reports noted, "the Administration has requested that this briefing be limited to Members and staff only." | |
