Bill's short memory

Not to get into a debate over Global Warming, as it’s not pertinent to this post, per se, but Clinton was recently out giving a speech, that can only be taken as stumping for Gore, in which he laid the blame of Global Warming strengthened sever weather squarely on the shoulders of George W. Bush.

As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.

So since scaring us with threats that the GOP is out to starve women and children, deny the elderly healthcare, take back the vote from women and put blacks back in the field has yet to yield the big Democrat victory it’s time to ramp things up. Now the GOP will destroy the entire planet. Only I’m not sure if that’s before or after they replace the US government with a bible-belt theocracy. Am I being dismissive enough?

But! Then Clinton goes on to say:

"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming,"

WTF? When were you ever out campaigning for Global Warming, Bill? Was it when you were fighting to get congress to pass the Kyoto treaty? Oh wait just one second Bill, you never even sent the treaty to Congress for ratification, nor did you sign it so while you contemplate about how no one was listening to you, ponder for just a second that maybe it was because you weren’t saying anything.

Of course he’s hoping no one remember any of that, and so far the press has forgotten.
