"Unofficial." That's hilarious, yet scary indeed. I can't listen to him, but every report and every quote makes his show seem like a daily love-in for Bush.
I like that he "went public" with it, as if people didn't know! Rush is many things, and subtle isn't one of them.
Good posts Timber. I thought you and others might enjoy Rush's blithe assertions of his intellectual triumph over "environmental whackos".
"Let’s count all the disproven environmental myths:
On no issue has the evidence of my foresight and keen political instincts been more compelling than that of the environment. Come, let us count the ways:
Despite the hysterics of a few pseudo-scientists, there is no reason to believe in global warming
Mankind is not responsible for depleting the ozone layer
The Earth’s ecosystem is not fragile, and humans are not capable of destroying it
The real enemies of the radical environmental leadership are capitalism & the American way of life
There are more acres of forest land in America today than in 1492
Less-developed cultures are not kinder to nature than technologically sophisticated civilizations. The reverse more often is true
Big-government regulation is not the best way to protect the environment
Many environmental groups have adopted their cause with all the enthusiasm of a religious crusade, abandoning reason and accepting many faulty premises on faith
Mankind is part of nature and not necessarily the enemy."
(from See, I Told You So. p 189-90)
