Yesterday, the lead front page
story in the Washington Times addressed the G-8’s
“climate”, or Kyoto II, discussions, with a couple of quotes from
me, including:
“Europeans and Democrats suddenly find themselves rushing to
lecture one another and the press that an administration is
limited by what Congress is willing to do. Quite refreshing
awareness, on the heels of a decade of ignoring unanimous
Senate instruction to Clinton to not agree to Kyoto, because
they needed a totem — Kyoto — in their anti-Bush struggle.”
As if in response and to defiantly reaffirm its
in-the-tankedness, the New York Times dutifully struts
forth today with an editorial,
“A lesson on warming”, which opens:
President Obama had hoped to emerge from this week’s Group of 8
summit meeting in Italy with a tentative agreement uniting rich
and developing nations in a common fight against global
warming. Instead he got a lesson on how divided the
world remains on the issue - and how hard he will
have to work to pull off an agreement. [Emphasis added;]
Ah, yes. You may recall how for years the NYT narrative
was full-blown George W. Bush standing in the world’s
way, particularly that of the American Left who
promoted this meme above all, gleefully followed by the
continent’s sizable anti-American contingent and others seeking a
distraction from their own woes, foibles and ineptitudes.
‘Twas Bush dat done it!
Today, no longer with Bush to blame, well, let’s just quietly say
that the earnest Obama is finding the world in his
way.
Sooo…in addition to “no time to debate!” because of your
computer model projections just being so right and all of those
observations and the skeptics who cite them so wrong and
conspiring against you on instruction from Big Oil and,
and…(pant)…you fellas also have the world against you. Maybe
some of those Team McCain sources busy diagnosing Sarah Palin
could spare their well-thumbed DSM so we could diagnose this.
