“For They That Sow the Wind Shall Reap the Whirlwind”

As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, it’s worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bush’s iron-clad campaign promise to regulate CO2.

In March of 2001, just two days after EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman’s strong statement affirming Bush’s CO2 promise former RNC Chief Barbour responded with an urgent memo to the White House.

Barbour, who had served as RNC Chair and Bush campaign strategist, was now representing the president’s major donors from the fossil fuel industry who had enlisted him to map a Bush energy policy that would
be friendly to their interests. His credentials ensured the new administration’s attention.

2. I made a similar comment in a previous thread.

Clinton did not get the full benefit of a great economy under his watch - RW nutters said the prosperity was due to policies enacted under bush I and reagan.

Under bush II, on the other hand, we are experiencing the benefits of his policies in the here and now - no eight year wait to see what will happen.

If anyone wonders why the businesses he started all ended up in bankruptcy, all they have to do is look at what's he's done over the past five years.
