I think it's a little more than just political reasons. Inhofe has received more than a million dollars in political contributions from oil companies over the years.Inhofe might be dead wrong about pork - but that does not mean he can't comment on Gore's environmental issues.
Inhofe is questioning how much energy Gore uses while he travels around the world telling people how vitally important it is to the survival of our species that we reduce our "carbon footprint." He may be doing it for political reasons, in fact, its pretty damn obvious that this is exactly why he is doing it...but nevertheless its a valid question.
Here's a list of some campaign contributions. Turns out big oil contributed $590,219 to his campaign in 2004 alone.
