Tony Snow: Bush has a better record than the rest of the world (on climate change)

[Poiuyt]

Snow insisted to all of them that Bush had been the "dominant figure" at the recent G8 conference and will be pushing strenuously for his immigration, energy, and education legislation. He claimed to CBS that many Republicans voted against the immigration bill only because the Democratic leadership had not allowed them to debate amendments.

However, when Snow said of Bush to CBS's Harry Smith, "He goes to the G8, leads the way on climate change," Smith broke in to object: "I think that's following on climate change. ... These other countries have set the table for this for years. The president is late to this table."

"I hate to tell you," replied Snow. "No Harry, you can't have your own facts. We've got a better record than the rest of the world... What you're arguing is that you regulate your way in. It never works, hasn't. What the president says is, use technology as the way of doing it and, guess what, everybody agreed."

According to a Reuters report on the G8 conference, "President George W. Bush's plan to combat climate change got a cool reception on Friday in Europe, where the European Union's environment chief dismissed it as unambitious and the 'classic' U.S. line."

1. Sounds like a snow job to me. Good name Tony has.

[fooj]

2. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Tony Snow has sold his soul. How much do you think his soul cost him?

No Harry, you can't have your own facts.

So, Snow supplies "his own facts"...

Isn't that rich?

3. I've wondered for a long time what the right's spin on global warming would be

when it became so undeniable even they would have to face it. I was expecting them to find a way to blame the left, but I guess it is a better strategy to claim they've been leaders on the subject all along.

4. He went to G8

to cut at the knees attempts to impose real restrictions to greenhouse emissions. He instead made basically a vague promise to do something... He spent most of the G8 pretending to care about a missile defense system that doesn't work. Someone should ask Snow why should the democratic congress pass any of the hugely unpopular presidents bad ideas? He didn't get unpopular by pushing good ideas.

6. We'll Have to Excuse Mr. Snow

His health isn't good and from what I remember with my mom and her chemo treatments, it's easy to get irritable and snarky!

7. "No Harry, you can't have your own facts."

Only they can have their own facts. The rest is just lies.

Even Orwell would roll his eyes at these creatures. When will this end?

[earthboundmisfit]

8. "You can't have your own facts"...

"You can only have OUR facts."

9. What's Snow smokin?

10. It comes with the job territory

When you are Press Secretary for a lying Republican Administration,
you have to make "inoperative" statements from time to time, as did
Nixon's Ron Ziegler (the term "inoperative" as a substitute for "lie"
was his invention).

Working for Bush, Snow just has to make a few more "inoperative"
statements than most...........

11. This is so FRACKING UNBELIEVABLE!

What is it the nazis said?
If you repeat a lie over and over again soon people will believe it to be true. (something like that)

In 50 years nobody is going to believe we let them (bush) get away with this.

[Carolina]

12. it's the beginning

of yet another big lie. And guess what?

REPEAT that LIE early, often and loudly until it becomes accepted FACT. It's the repuke modus operandi and it has served them well since Reagan who, in case you forgot, was the greatest president ever! :sarcasm:
