We boycott Rush from now on....he crossed the line with the line .....President George W Algore!

I disagree. As soon as that report came out Bush should have gotten a statement to the press...basically saying what he said today. It was Bush's EPA that sent the report--his appointed staff should have killed the report before it even saw the light of day. And if it did squeek out they should have quickly got on record as discrediting the report. Instead they waited for the public reaction to decided on what to do. Not exactly leading is it? Kind of reminds me of Clinton...so the comment still makes sense.

Bush has to learn the ends don't justify the ways. This is typical political behavior that I was sick of under Clinton...and now I see Bush doing similiar things.

Now wait a minute. When he spoke favorably about Bush and helped get him elected, he was known as a god around here. Everyone though Rush had a gift of all knowing.
When he helped bring down both Gore and Clinton, FR cheered.
When he screamed about Waco, Elian, Ruby ridge, nurmous ME terrorist attacks during the Clintin administration, Hillays lust for power, Dashole, Gephart, etc. ,everyone cheered!
When he sees Bush morphing into a socialist and admits it on the air, that he was wrong about supporting Bush, all of a sudden Rush has no idea what he's talking about.

Do you always turn on friends that fast? Maybe it's not Rush who's wrong. Did you ever think of that? (Didn't think so).

I don't buy that. I've read most of that report, and it looks to me like it got a thorough going-over by the Bush hands before it saw the light of day. I don't think the problem is in the report, it's in the highly distorted way that the New York Times, followed by the rest of the press flying monkeys, tried to present it to the public.

Had the press characterized the report honestly, it would not have been necessary for Bush to say a thing. Only in the wildest dreams of a New York Times reporter can that report be said to support the Kyoto treaty, or anything like it. What the press did here was despicable: they lied to the American people about what the report contained, to promote their own agendas. By focusing on a sentence or two here and there, they made it sound like Bush had done a complete flip-flop on Global Warming... and now "admitted" that it was all caused by humans and would Devastate The Planet.

Hogwash... it said no such thing. If there's a "public reaction" that Bush has to step in to deal with, it isn't to the contents of the report. It's to press stories that deliberately mischaracterized the report in order to further the reporters' own political beliefs. There's waaaay too much of that going on these days.
