Still breathing hard from his battle to keep the ladder trucks at bay, Sen. McCain gives a rousing speech about fire safety in the embers
Wasting no time distancing himself from President Bush on an issue that has long divided them, Senator John McCain yesterday called the White House stance on climate change "terribly disappointing" and said inaction in the face of mounting scientific data was unjustified.

Two weeks after the end of a campaign in which he stumped for Mr. Bush's re-election, Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, is convening a Senate hearing today on the human effect on climate and what to do about it.

Mr. Bush, citing the cost to the economy and what the administration describes as the uncertainty of the science, has opposed restrictions on carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases since early 2001, when he abandoned a pledge he made in his first presidential campaign to restrict carbon dioxide from power plants.

In contrast, for three years Mr. McCain has pushed for a bill he wrote with Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, that would create the first, modest curbs on greenhouse gases.

"This is a very time-sensitive issue," he said in an interview yesterday.

Yes. Definitely just shut up.

The same John McCain who sold his wife and daughter's reputations (not to mention the American people)out to get a kiss and a hug from George W. Bush .

I kinda don't get him. Well, okay, I do. He's working for a better party, and the prerequisite for this is party loyalty.

If he wants to work for a better party, there's one across the aisle from him.

I don't think he's working for a better party. I think he's working to get the nomination out of whatever majority Karl Rove builds.

The American political equivalent of Saruman.

The ruling majority of this country apparently believe the Rapture will come for them long before global warming becomes a real problem.
