Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) suggests that the biggest problem facing Guantanamo Bay detainees is obesity, "cause these guys have never eaten so well in their lives!"

Appearing on G. Gordon Liddy's radio show on Friday, Inhofe declared that President Obama should not close Guantanamo because "it's a state-of-the-art kind of a facility. There's nothing that is better than, I mean, there's no incarceration facility anywhere in the world that's run better than Gitmo is."

"You know their biggest problem they have there, G. Gordon?" he asked. "It's obesity. 'Cause these guys have never eaten so well in their lives!"

He added that the U.S. should just try detainees at Guantanamo Bay, but "if we have to leave them there for the rest of their lives, that's fine. Either that or execute them."

Perhaps Slick Jimmy Oklahoma Oilman would like to go there for a steak dinner.

Stupidity is the biggest problem facing Oklahoma politicians.

Yeah, lets just execute those obese Gitmo detainees without giving them a trial. It's no wonder that Inhofe is considered to be the dumbest Senator today.

What does this say about Oklahoma? Even if his constituents can't read, can't they at least listen?

Translation: They've never been forced to eat pork chops before.

I can think of reasons this could happen (poor diet, severe lack of exercise), but is there really a report somewhere that says this, or is Inhofe just pulling it out of his a$$?
