3. laundry list of Bush scandals, lies and cover ups.

I will do my best to put them in chronological order, please forgive any minor mistakes.

1. Bush did Coke.
2. Used connections to have his low grades improved in college.
3. Used connections to get out of Vietnam.
4. Traded Sammy Sosa (OK, maybe not a full blown scandal, but could easily be used as evidence of stupidity and poor judgment).
5. Had his brother fix the presidential elections in Florida in 2000.
6. Had the EPA lie about their scientific studies on a multitude of issues concerning public health.
7. Lied about his connections to Ken Lay and Enron.
8. Then there's the whole WMD thing.
9. The Osama and Sadam are thick as thieves theory.
10. Still trying to feed us a line of BS on Iraq.
11. and of coarse, there is Karl Rove.

if I've forgotten anything, please do add on. Sometimes it amazes me that all this has gone on in the past 5 something years and the American people are still trying to wrap their heads around the concept that this guy is a total corporate puppet.

New US Move to Spoil Climate Accord

By Mark Townsend
The Observer UK

Sunday 19 June 2005

Extraordinary efforts by the White House to scupper Britain's attempts to tackle global warming have been revealed in leaked US government documents obtained by The Observer.

These papers - part of the Bush administration's submission to the G8 action plan for Gleneagles next month - show how the United States, over the past two months, has been secretly undermining Tony Blair's proposals to tackle climate change.

The documents obtained by The Observer represent an attempt by the Bush administration to undermine completely the science of climate change and show that the US position has hardened during the G8 negotiations. They also reveal that the White House has withdrawn from a crucial United Nations commitment to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions.

The documents show that Washington officials:

-Removed all reference to the fact that climate change is a 'serious threat to human health and to ecosystems';
-Deleted any suggestion that global warming has already started;
-Expunged any suggestion that human activity was to blame for climate change.

G-8 Summit: U.S. Trips Up Climate Agreement

by Sanjay Suri

GLENEAGLES, Scotland - The G8 countries remained divided over how to tackle global climate change at the end of their three-day summit here.

Those of us who have ratified the Kyoto Protocol welcome its entry into force and will work to make it a success,” the Group of Eight leaders said in their communiqué Friday. There were no marks for guessing that the United States was the odd one out.

But the agreement among the rest was also uncertain beyond the end of the first implementation period of the Kyoto Protocol 2008-2012. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has backed U.S. President George Bush on the need to look beyond Kyoto post-2012.

That can mean that at least the major developing countries could be required to make mandatory emissions cuts of the kind that the Kyoto Protocol requires of the industrialized countries that have ratified the agreement. By 2012 they are to curb climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2 percent from 1990 levels.

The communiqué -- much discussed and debated in the weeks and even final days leading up to the July 6-8 summit of the leaders of the eight most powerful industrialized nations (United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and host Britain) -- was strong on agreements on principles, but fell far short of specific commitments.
