Chris Mooney provides yet another data point in the near-endless saga of the Bush administration’s love of lying:
So in sum, the White House deceived the public, trying to rewrite history and erase Bush’s indelible record of skepticism on the subject of human-caused global warming. It’s pretty outrageous behavior. And I must say, I’m really glad to see it happen.
The White House’s dubious repositioning can really only mean one thing: It’s just not acceptable any more to doubt that the planet’s warming. Previous “skeptics” — like Bush — are embarrassed and backing away. They’re trying to pretend that they never actually said what they said.
Conservatives love to lie. They live to lie. They can barely make an argument without lying. It’s simply in their nature.

Just watched James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, talk about human interference with the climate and what can be done by the public and policy makers to prevent irreversible environmental damage to the planet on C-SPAN.
When asked if he will testify before Congress, he stated that he would probably wait until he becomes a private citizen so he can speak his mind.
How fuckin’ sad is that?
