Ahh Lord Monkton.. The renowned scientist (his career was in tabloid journalism), brave Galileo like soul (at least that is his pimping), fierce speaker of truth to power (as in he speaks for the powerful and moneyed), aristocratic viscount (but he is not elitist like those elitist scientists who are not lords - wait he was denied a peerage, oh never mind, he is definitely NOT elitist like those NASA guys from places like MIT and Princeton)….

If this fellow were not actually taken seriously by the wingnut base, he would be comical. As it is, it is a tragic combination of American’s love of inbred Brit aristocrats and wingnut fervor said with a British sneer…

Ohhh he sounds so upper class… He can tell us why AGW is a fraud in sneering tones over tea… we can be so classy (but that is NOT elitist damn it!)

I truly detest this fraudulent creep. He is the one I actually can not stand the most of the wingnut base. I suppose the reason is that unlike INhofe, he tries to present himself as a scientist. Inhofe is a hick and he is proud of it. the fact that the good people of Oklahoma like to elect a Palin grade intellect is no shocker. However, Monkton claims to know physics. I really can’t forgive him for that.
