Really amazing stuff out of our Fearless Prez Leader today. After the Supreme court ruled that the EPA has to do their job, the New York Times is reporting that Bush remains un phased:

A day after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government had the authority to regulate heat-trapping gases, President Bush said he thought that the measures he had taken so far were sufficient.

Why, might you ask? Well, our Fearless Leader is employing the tactics usually reserved for 8 year olds who don’t want to do something. "but Moooooommm, Justin doesn’t have to help set the table! Why do I?" He is taking his cues directly from China, insisting that they be the ones to regulate themselves before he is willing to go along with any sort of emissions standards.

“Whatever we do,” he said, “must be in concert with what happens internationally.” He added, “Unless there is an accord with China, China will produce greenhouse gases that will offset anything we do in a brief period of time.”

Amazing. You know, M. Bush, China also has a pretty terrible human rights record. Why do WE have to stop abusing our people? they still get to, and in the long run, why does it matter that we don’t? Oh, wait. I remember. Because that’s the stupidest, most childish thing that the leader of the free world could possibly say. YOUR the LEADER of the FREE WORLD. Start acting like it, and step up and take a leadership position! Sure, its true that on a global scale, China has the ability to hurt global warming a lot going forward. But you don't think our complaints about their pollution might come from a slightly stronger standpoint if we were not in the bottom half ourselves?

For the love of God, M. Bush. And I understand you love him. This is what a lobbyist from the COAL MINING INDUSTRY had to say in the same New York Times article. This, remember, is the dirtiest form of energy production out there:

“It’s incumbent on everyone to roll their sleeves up, if they haven’t already, to deal seriously with this problem,” said Luke Popovich of the National Mining Association, the trade group for the coal mine operators who will be at the center of the lobbying. “If pain concentrates the mind, there will be more concentration on the issue now.”
