Bush is off his meds again. Or maybe he's been taking too many long naps with Cheney. Or perhaps he's been listening to Al Gore's message and has decided that since the GOP ship is sinking fast, he may as well make a wild stab at pulling in a few liberal votes. Good luck with that Bushie.
A member of the reality based community in the Bush Administration. What will they think of next?
You really never know what the madman will do next. But nominating the pro Kyoto Protocol Henry M. Paulson Jr. for Treasury Secretary is weird, even for Bushie.
Think Progress:
President Bush’s new nominee for Treasury Secretary, Goldman Sachs Chairman Henry M. Paulson Jr., not only endorses the Kyoto Protocol to limit greenhouse emissions, but argues that the United States’ failure to enact Kyoto undermines the competitiveness of U.S. companies. Here’s a statement from the Nature Conservancy, where Paulson serves as chairman of the board:
The Kyoto Protocol is a key first step to help slow the onslaught of global warming and benefit conservation efforts…Until the United States passes its own limits on global warming emissions, innovative companies based here will lose out on opportunities to sell reduced emission credits to companies complying with the Kyoto Protocol overseas. Additionally, without enacting our own emission limits, U.S. companies will lose ground to their competitors in Europe, Canada, Japan, and other countries participating in the Protocol who are developing clean technologies.
Once again, rightwingers are banding together to fight yet more of the 'crazed' actions of their dear leader. Stay tuned, it should be fun.
