Sen. Jim DeMint twitters: D.C. snow will continue 'until Al Gore cries uncle' By Jordan Fabian - 02/09/10 01:24 PM ET

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Tuesday used the D.C. snowstorm to make a political jab, saying that it provides evidence for global warming skeptics.

The conservative senator took to Twitter on Tuesday amid reports that the area is due to receive another 10 to 20 inches of snow this week:

It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries "uncle"

Some conservatives have echoed DeMint's sentiments that the snowstorm should poke holes in evidence backing global warming.

DeMint took direct aim at the former vice president, who is one of the foremost proponents of government action to counter global warming.

Reports of more snow caused the House of Representatives to call off the rest of its votes scheduled for this week. The Washington, D.C. area was blanketed with about two feet of snow last weekend, causing the Senate to adjourn Thursday earlier than expected on Thursday.

The South Carolina senator was not the first Republican to use the snowstorm to make a political point. Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kansas) said that absence of votes in the House is a plus for taxpayers.

Sen DeMint, go to the head of the line and be recognized as a patriot.

It hadn't occured to me to offer up a human sacrifice to the gods of winter to induce a halt to all this recird breaking bitter cold and snow. But I like the idea. To be on the safe side, Professor Mann and a few of those UN sinecures should be heaped on the pyre as well.

These guys should step forward immediately. After all, they all said they wanted to save the planet.
