Snow: President Bush Has ‘Actually Taken The Lead’ On Climate Change
Just when you think they can't be anymore shameless, they get more shameless.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/31/snow-lead-climate-change/

SNOW: The President has in fact, contrary to stereotype, been actively engaged in trying to fight climate change and will continue to do so.

REPORTER: The one area that is notably absent and that even Shell Oil and other major players are calling for is a global mandatory emissions cap and trade program. Unless do you this on an international basis, it’s not in the long-term economic interest of the United States, which seems to be one of your arguments that somehow will benefit the United States in the long-term.

SNOW: Well, what the United States has done is we have actually taken the lead on those kinds of innovations.

1. Fucking ridiculous
Just lie after lie after lie on EVERYTHING.

Eight years we will never get back, eight years in which the problem has likely moved from incredibly difficult to irrevocable, eight years of bullshit and equivocation and LIES.

Fuck you, Tony Snow.

16. Isn't that hilarious? You gotta hand it to Snow, he's just thrown a big ol' wrench in their gears
"What? How can we be world leaders in preventing something Rush told us doesn't exist but would benefit us if it did?" :silly:

24. Why yes, He's taken the lead...
in destroying the environment, just as he destroys all else that he touches. Bush is both a uniter and a destroyer - he's united all liberals, dems and independents to vote against his party and he has effectively destroyed the institutions and moral fiber of this country, in addition to destroying 3,000 of our troops and more than half a million people in Iraq. Heckuva a job, Bushie!
