John Kerry has written an op-ed for the Huffington Post comparing the inaction in response to a heating planet to the inaction of President Bush before September 11th.
Kerry reaches deep into the bag of global warming hysterics to uncork this piece, saying that the fate of the nation hinges upon the passing of some sort of climate change legislation.
It's ridiculously over the top, but we suppose it might get a few supporters all riled up and ready to fight for the bill this fall. Of course, it's so over the top that it might just turn off a bunch of people:

In other words..."Show me the water!"
Very very good.
If he’s so concerned, let him go fight the LA fires, they’re probably doing more for raising the temp than all human activity for the last century.
I’m in the east but just talked to someone in Denver and they’re getting smoke and haze from those fires...
One political party thinks the U.S. is the greatest country in the world. The other party thinks the sky is falling.
H. Post. Is that the onl place where he can get his opinion published??

You forgot somehting in the headline. Begins with a B and ends with an F.
Now that he is the senior Senator from Massachusetts, I guess he feels the need to hear his own oratory.
What a disgraceful person - I get the feeling more and more that there may not be many sane people left in that state with the reelections of such oafs for representing them in Congress(add Barney Frank to list) and at State levels(Obama look-alike Deval Patrick).
JOHN KERRY — AND HIS BUD, ALGORE — ARE THE NEXT 9/11!
