- Bush finally jumps for the Global Warming train, having dawdled at the station far too long. Desperately, this lameduck demagogue sprints after the last car, wheezing all the lies and incongruity of his past seven years.
But Bush doesn''t make it. Standing on the tracks, gasping for breath, his briefcase hanging limply at his side, Bush watches the train leave him behind.
What a fall from what might have been. When Bush entered office in 2001, he sounded almost "green" because his speechwriters picked up the campaign buzzwords quickly. Bush actually presented himself as an environmentally-sensitive candidate.
Post-election, however, Rove and other Bush advisors quickly made it clear to Bush green politics would alienate his major backers. Basically, Bush sold out early in his first term to Big Oil, Big Agriculture and the rest of the corporate American lobby.
Bush may be bitter about his legacy, but he had seven years to check the destination stamped on the ticket in his opportunistic little hands. - Reply to this comment

What?? No critique of heliocentrism? (Here''s your opportunity to burn Copernicus and Galileo at the stake!).

- "If these laws are stretched beyond their original intent, they could override the programs Congress just adopted. ... Decisions with such far-reaching impact should not be left to unelected regulators and judges," Bush said.
lollll...I''ve been sitting here reading that over and over and over again, trying to figure out how you can be such an immoral hypocrite as to say something like that at the same time as you permitted unelected folks like Yoo and Gonzo to decide what is or isn''t in violation of the Geneva Conventions.
Incredible, that a person could utter words warning of the dangers of operating outside of the parameters of our Constitution even as they have spent almost eight years usurping the powers given to Congress by the Constitution with "signing statements" and "executive orders"...
Bush and Cheney aren''t just sociopaths - they''re frigggin'' nuts. - Reply to this comment

- Oh, face it...Bush made a cheap, easy promise.
Given the soaring demand for petroleum products in the "emerging nations" and the rapidly approaching date for "Peak Oil", we in the U.S. of A. ain''t going to be burning as much oil ''cuz we ain''t gonna have it.
Bush''s promise is a lot like saying: "Really, I promise you in 100 years I will stop pissing on your roses.".
Of course you will - you''ll be gone.
The good part, though, is that eventually - too soon, in fact - we in America will have to give in to the forces people like Cheney, Bush, and PNAC have leveraged into place and permit drilling for oil any old where within the U.S., in our near-shore waters, or wherever.
But the hillarious part? Since they''ve seen to it that our manufacturing and service industries are disappearing into those "emerging nations" so quickly, WE won''t be able to afford to buy our own home-made gasoline.
And do you doubt for a minute that the people Bush and Cheney - and those who support them - won''t rush to ignore us and sell the nation''s remaining petroleum resources to those same people they gave our jobs too?
lolllllll...America - knocked down, raped, and finally murdered by the neocons and Republicans. - Reply to this comment

Lucky for you Bush and Cheney cannot get another four years in office, or you would likely find you did not have those rights anymore. - Reply to this comment
