Inhofe on Calling Franken "a Clown"

In interview with the Tulsa World:

On Franken winning the Minnesota Senate race: "I'll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota."

Asking if he was referring to Franken, he confirms he was: "I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I don't know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown. That's what he does for a living."
