Wingnut fodder

Gore:

"My country's been responsible for obstructing the process here in Bali, we know that," he said to enthusiastic applause from the crowd. "Over the next two years the United States is going to be somewhere where it is not now. You must anticipate that."

Breaking the cardinal rule of everything: thou shalt not criticize the President unless (s)he's a Democrat during ongoing negotiations. The reason we have this rule is soas not to embolden the enemy:

In an interview Thursday, German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said it would not make sense for President Bush to continue talks unless negotiators made significant progress here in defining the range of emissions cuts they need to consider in the near term.

"If we will not find a solution here in Bali, I cannot see what we should negotiate in the major economies meetings," Gabriel said. "If you want to organize a road map, you should know where is the destination."

Really all these Euros are trying to do is force our politicians to cave to their demand we live our lives in depressingly dark and cold abodes like they do. What we need now is a media that reports less on the ongoing discussions in Bali, and instead focuses its attention on Al Gore's expressive, arched, well groomed eyebrows.
