GWB as GOD?

You knew it wouldn't take long in this highly-charged climate of political rant-o-rama, but I don't think anyone would have bet on this popping up so fast. But considering the source, it is not that surprising, I guess. But let's get one thing straight from the start: Mississippi Governor Hailey Barbour and President Bush had as much to do with Katrina as RFK, Jr. did. For that matter, "Global Warming" might even create COOLER temperatures in equatorial oceans due to melting of polar ice, right? Even if Kyoto was approved by this President, it wouldn't have had any effect at this point, so to blame Barbour and Bush for Katrina is the height of idiocy. Quite aside from the fact that posting that sort of political ankle-biting while rescue operations are going on and people are still missing is beyond the pale.

Let's also remember that the vast majority of "bad" hurricanes occurred long before we ever heard the words "Global Warming". In fact the hurricane experts are saying "Global Warming" has NOTHING to do with the current (or past or future)hurricane cycle.
