Check out Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as she shamelessly pretends to be giving fellow Tennessean Al Gore a chance to “clear the air” while really impugning his integrity during today’s hearing on the Hill — a transparent effort that’s not lost on Gore.

Have you no sense of decency, ma’am?

Late Update: Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) tries, but he can’t top Blackburn for pure disingenuousness.
