Not only was Bush not "into" his climate comments, but I swear Cheney smirked when the comments were made...

Cheney was not the only one smirking. He mentioned climate change and the Democratic section of the Congress stood up and cheered like he announced the Second Coming. Bush looked over at them, with his patented smirk and you know what he was thinking: "What a bunch of ass holes. I mention climate change and they eat it up with a spoon. What a bunch of suckers."

The State of the Union Address? Forgettaboutit. It is an annual non-event. Yawn.

Well maybe the Cheney smirk will be wiped away by the scooter trial?

Duuhboy will smirk on forever.  That is how history will view the worst president ever.

Unfortunately most democrats lack the guts to impeach.

Carbon caps are not working either. Have you looked around Europe? No one has the economic stomach for significant GHG cutbacks. The US will not either. Our standard of living is too closely tied to GHG emissions, and no one -- including no one here -- will voluntarily reduce their standard of living by more than a token amount.

Thus, new technologies are the only way.

The last thing the country needs is another 1-2 year backwards-looking upheaval like we had during the Clinton administration. Far from lacking the guts, Democrats know that the adult thing to do is put aside petty bickerings and try to move the country forward.

I just have to share this because it's so, so good. Are you ready? My phone number spells...

W DID EVIL.

The last "L" is superfluous, but it doesn't matter if you punch an extra number once you've dialed the seven.

"petty bickerings"

Violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution.  Lying to congress repeatedly.  Starting a war using those lies.  

Not as serious as an Oval office bj, true.  But still impeachable offenses.  Hehey.
