Could Republicans ever support a carbon tax? Bob Inglis thinks so.
So has he actually managed to sell any conservatives on this idea yet? That’s the tricky part.
...
It’s also worth reiterating that Inglis has lost this battle before, and badly. Back in 2010, while still in the House, Inglis told a town hall in South Carolina that he believed that humans were indeed warming the planet — a heretical position for many on the right. That fall, Inglis lost the GOP primary to a more conservative candidate, Trey Gowdy.

That tweet came yesterday afternoon from the Boston Phoenix, the storied but struggling alt-weekly, for which the current print issue will be its last. There will be an online-only issue next week, containing an important piece by my friend and fellow climate activist-journalist Bill McKibben. And then the rest is silence.
...
To put it simply and bluntly: Carly championed not only the climate issue but, equally important, the young and increasingly powerful grassroots climate movement, at a time when virtually no one else (outside of environmental blogs and magazines) could be bothered to give them a serious thought.

Sure Inglis sold some conservatives on global warming. He sold all of us down the river, so there had to be a few conservatives in there. That's why he got the heave ho.

So now he's out in the private life dreaming up new and clever ways to screw his party, his neighbors, and humanity in general.

If the WaPo loves him so much they should give that bum a job.
