Rohrabacher: From panty tortures to buffalo farts.

This lawmaker has issues. As you recall, Rep.Rohrabacher, in a House committee hearing, argued that ladies' panties on a detainee's head is not torture. And he mentioned the word "panties" several times. And now he moves on to buffalo farts. Who put this clown in as the CA Rep.?

In February 2007, Congress held its first hearing on the landmark IPCC report on climate change. That report concluded that global warming is “unequivocal” and human activity is the main driver. During this hearing, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) questioned the scientists about a period of dramatic climate change that occurred 55 million years ago:

We don’t know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows? We do know the CO2 in the past had its time when it was greater as well.

His comments were, not surprisingly, widely ridiculed. When questioned by The Hill for further details, Rohrabacher’s spokeswoman refused to comment at the time.

Now, however, Rohrabacher is claiming that it was all a joke. Last week on the House floor, Rohrabacher blasted anyone who believed he was serious was a “fool” or “intentionally portraying something they knew not to be true.” His statements came while he was allegedly joking that environmentalists treasured “buffalo farts.”
