It will be fun to watch the Bush-bots spin this one....

Bush seems to be swinging massively to the left.

If the Bushbots swing with him, there will be a whole new crop of leftists in Murrica.

It must be part of the "secret plan" to defeat the democrats forever.

The Bush-bots are leftists that's why they support him!

I can defend the administration in general and disagree with certain issues. If this story is true, then this is one of them. We'll just have to vociferously oppose this particular issue, and cite science to back us up(and there is as much data indicating Global Waming is bunk and what is cited as evidence to its cause). Maybe this is the straw that breaks the camel's back, and forces Karl to rethink or go. At first glance it looks like Rove triangulation gone too far. Then again, remember that Bush said on the campaign trail that there was evidence of global warming, he just strongly opposed the RAT politicization of it and their destructive solutions. So this wouldn't be a U-turn, but rather a surprise gone far beyond expectations. Leave it to the NY Times to misportray it.

Every administration at some point early on makes a staggering blunder, and either learns from it or sinks. Let's make sure this is a that watershed moment, but let's not destroy Bush in the process. If true, this is a huge mistake, let's make sure it is recognized as such, and learned from.
