Tony Snow "job" continues to live in his own state of delusion when it comes to the actual facts. He believes in the White House's spin so adamantly that when reporters bring up what happens on the planet of Earth, he lashes out at the people that spout truth instead of 'truthiness'. The White House Press Conference was quite a show yesterday, especially when CBS' Harry Smith interjected a fact or two.
From RawStory:
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."
When it comes to sycophants like Tony Snow, Bush can do no wrong. Protecting the oil industry and other polluters is good for the environment, not harming us all like the data shows. The data must be a pinko commie liberal, or something like that. In the last six-plus years and for the remaining 586 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes, Tony will fight to deny Harry Smith's (and the rest of us) truth and promote his own....no matter what.
