Sierra Club calls out Washington’s biggest turkeys

The Sierra Club has asked people to put down the turkey dinner and vote for the biggest turkey in Washington. Six made the list, but three stand out as top contenders.

Former congressman Tom DeLay made the list for claiming in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that there was no pork in the federal budget that could be diverted to disaster relief.

“Stifle your laughter,” the Sierra Club said.

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., was dubbed a turkey for saying global warming was a hoax and then tapping late science fiction writer Michael Crichton to reiterate that before Congress.

And last but not least, Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, made the “list of losers” for his two “Bridges to Nowhere.”
