To Our President, Ignorance is More Fun than Truth

I have zero problem that President Bush doesn't want to see the global warming movie, "Inconvenient Truth" that focuses on Al Gore's efforts to get the public to take note.

But I find it in incredibly bad taste, far worse than repugnant, that Bush laughed and smirked about it considering this is a man who, during his tenure as Texas governor, oversaw severe worsening of environmental conditions there and who has done his best to make certain American energy policy, the horrendous gas prices we all pay, and the climate as a whole, serve ONLY the purpose of the oil and energy folks of which Bush and Cheney are a part (although Bush had the dubious distinction of always bankrupting companies that - considering what they sold - is almost impossible to achieve).

Remember Bush's smirk and laugh when millions die due to global warming, when we lose a third to two-thirds of the species of animals in this planet in the next century due to Bush's policies, when you can't breath or get cool or get warm. Remember George W. Bush.

No responsible human being - much less so-called leader of the free world (or stealer of free world elections, more accurately - should be laughing and smirking about global warming. The man is a crime against humanity with his every breath.
