Who But the Bushies Would Constantly Assign Foxes to the Job of Guarding Our Chicken Coops

From Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo:

I don't think the Bush administration needed a lot of convincing not to sign the Kyoto global warming treaty. But this is the lede in a piece just out from The Guardian: "President's George Bush's decision not to sign the United States up to the Kyoto global warming treaty was partly a result of pressure from ExxonMobil, the world's most powerful oil company, and other industries, according to US State Department papers seen by the Guardian."

Sitting in an attorney's office this afternoon, the secretary and I were discussing a nice, safe topic like the weather. But when she raised global warming, I said, "What? You weren't impressed by the president's words that - six years after he said the same thing - the verdict is still out on the subject?"

"Don't get me started about that man", she replied, going from cool and composed to almost shaking with rage.

Just last night, on some of the mighty righty sites, I was reading their insistence that the rapture will occur before they have to turn off their air conditioners. Man, I hope they roast first.
