Alec Baldwin Calls Oklahoma Senator A “Whore”

Actor Alec Baldwin took to his Twitter page this weekend to blast Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe as an “oil whore.” Like Rush Limbaugh before him, there is no remorse at the prospect of calling someone a name like that.

Senator Inhofe is a known climate change denier, and that is what caused Baldwin to call him a “whore.” The two have been locked in a heavy debate about fossil fuels and the environment.

Baldwin sent out the following tweet:

“Oil Whore Jim Inhofe has betrayed every man and woman who lost their livelihood on the Gulf due to BP’s overwhelming negligence…”

Baldwin later stood by his claim, calling Inhofe “Oil Whore” in a number of other tweets.

In a response to reporters, Inhofe’s camp took issue with the tone of Baldwin’s discourse.

“These kind of outrageous statements made recently on Twitter by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Alec Baldwin stand in stark contrast to the civil debate Sen. Inhofe had with Rachel Maddow last week. In truth, the far left and Hollywood elites have lost on their pet cause of global warming. The only way to get attention these days is to make outlandish and irresponsible comments on Twitter.”

Apart from his controversial statements about climate change and the EPA’s environmental regulations, Inhofe was also among those responsible for working to block a measure to raise BP’s liability cap from $75 million to $10 billion in the wake of the massive 2010 Gulf oil spill.

Do you think it is hypocritical to call Rush Limbaugh out for calling a girl a slut but being silent when a Senator is called a whore?
