Snow: The President has in fact, contrary to stereotype, been actively engaged in trying to fight climate change and will continue to do so.

REPORTER: The one area that is notably absent and that even Shell Oil and other major players are calling for is a global mandatory emissions cap and trade program. Unless do you this on an international basis, it’s not in the long-term economic interest of the United States, which seems to be one of your arguments that somehow will benefit the United States in the long-term.

SNOW: Well, what the United States has done is we have actually taken the lead on those kinds of innovations.

One climate he's definitely changed is in Iraq. He's now killed more people there than Saddam.

1. Snow will not make it into heaven.

He wont be able to convince St. Peter he was just "lying because that was my job - I was taking orders." Ari was cold, Scottie was at least a huggable warm-lying body, but Snow is just one evil bastard.

2. Everything I have read about this subject refutes his claim.

3. I keep waiting....

.....for someone in the press gaggle -- right when there's a lull -- to deadpan after one of Snow's horrendously stupefying lies and say something like:

"all right, now tell us the truth" or,

"do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" or,

"how do you sleep at night after lying all day like this?"

Or as http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/welch-mccarthy.html">Welch said to McCarthy:"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?  Have you left no sense of decency?"

4. It is amazing, isn't it?

No one has the guts to do that. Imagine what would happen if the whole room broke out in howls of laughter when he said that.....

5. remember Snow's truthtelling - before he became press secretary?

– Bush has “lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc.” <3/17/06>

– “George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion.” <3/17/06>

– “President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year’s State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic policy.” <2/3/06>

– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” <11/11/05>

– Bush “has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal.” <10/7/05>

– “No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives.” <9/30/05>

– Bush “has given the impression that is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor — now!” <9/30/05>

– “When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.”

– “The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint.”

– “Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors’ claims that he didn’t have the drive and work ethic to succeed.” <11/16/00>

– “Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!” <8/25/00>

– “George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of niceness and goodwill. Bush has inherited his mother’s attractive feistiness, but he also got his father’s syntax. At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette’s.” <8/25/00>

– “He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” <8/25/00>

– “On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries.” <8/25/00>
