President George Bush today announced he would appoint former President Bill Clinton as the nation's first official Kyoto monitor, sending him on a "global emissions detection mission."
In the new role, Sen. Hillary Clinton's husband will travel the world in a Toyota Prius, and "sniff around smokestacks, without inhaling" in order to find violators of the Kyoto Protocol.
When Mr. Clinton finds a factory, or automobile, that's emitting high levels of climate-changing pollutants, Mr. Bush said, "He'll act with the full authority granted under Kyoto to place a green Mr. Yuck sticker on that smokestack or tailpipe."
"I admire President Clinton's passion about reducing greenhouse gasses," said Mr. Bush in making the appointment. "He gets out in front of the facts and leads with his heart, undeterred by questionable research. Even though when he was in the White House he never submitted the Kyoto Protocol to the Senate for a vote, history will remember that he felt strongly about it. That's what makes him the kind of leader that he is."
Good grief!
How STUPID is GWB going to GET?
scratching my graying head and wondering if this is a joke.
Some days I just have to make sure it's satire.
It actually had me up until Prius
I was about to get really steamed when I read that headline! I would not put it past Bush to do something stupid like that.
But when I saw Pookie18 was the author, I got a little bit suspicious. :)
It's ScrappleFace - it's a JOKE!!
he doesn't have to go any place but look down to his pants for plenty of filthy global emissions.
another scrappleface classic.
I'm surprised Scrappleface didn't work the cigar angle into the piece.
Oh!
WHAT A RELIEF!
Author=Poster .. sorry
I know! I was scared for a few seconds until I read a bit of it.
Maybe the Mods can fix the title--shouldn't it be
Monitor LIZARD?
It is ironic that he is flying around the world spewing tons of emmissions as he seeks his legacy.
The scary thing until I saw it was scrapple face is that I went "Oh no!!" Sad when part of you thinks, even briefly, that it could be true.
PHEW!!!!!!
Almost had to call the paramedics for myself.
Merely the messenger...author is Scott Ott aka Scrapple Face.
Yeah, it is a joke, but think of the possibilities. Maybe it could be used to keep little Billy busy and out of the country on a meaningless mission.
Satire...
Clinton, the little boy who played President, is now a little boy playing ex-President.
