The environmental activist group Greenpeace wanted to be prepared to counter President Bush's visit last week to Pennsylvania to promote his nuclear energy policy.

"This volatile and dangerous source of energy" is no answer to the country's energy needs, shouted a Greenpeace fact sheet, decrying the "threat" posed by the reactors Bush visited in Limerick.

But after that assertion, the Greenpeace authors were apparently stumped while searching for the ideal menacing metaphor.

"In the twenty years since the Chernobyl tragedy, the world's worst nuclear accident, there have been nearly [FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID HERE]," the sheet said.

The Greenpeace spokesman who issued the memo, Steve Smith, told the Web site that a colleague was making a joke in a draft that was then mistakenly released.

EVERYTIME I hear the name Greenpeace, I think of the scene in Armageddon where Bruce Willis was bouncing golf balls off their ship and complaining that he had sent them a check to shut them up. ROTFL! What a bunch of freeloading frauds.

Caught red-handed.

Just like Dan Rather.

We need to exclaim this every time they try to weasel out of getting caught lying.
