More and more ugly little things regarding the 4th branch of government, Cheneyland. But, we should not be surprised. We have suspected all of it all the time...

In a comprehensive report this week, Rolling Stone magazine investigates the Bush administration’s “secret campaign to deny global warming.” The article documents the administration’s repeated attempts to use “cooked intelligence,” stay beholden to big industry interests, and stifle internal dissent on climate change.

The report highlights Dick Cheney’s surreptitious role in developing Bush’s pro-industry climate agenda, arguing Cheney took “full advantage of the president’s cluelessness” on climate change. Rolling Stone argues Bush played along with Cheney’s arm-twisting, which culminated most recently in his decision to bypass the G8 climate resolution. Some hey highlights from the article:

1. Sorry about the mess, my head just exploded.

This is really the last straw for me tonight. I have been reading all the posts about how Cheney has usurped damn near all the power in this administration and my brain reached critical mass, hence the messy explosion. If for no other reason, this administration must be stopped. Enough already, impeach any of these bastards that can be impeached. One of the main gripes I have is how all this is showing that Bush has to be one of the most weak-willed and ineffectual leaders that this country has ever had. I'm not just talking about inept, I mean, really, he has no control over the VP? I guess what everyone had been saying since the beginning is terribly true. Cheney runs the country (into a ditch), and Bush is there to put a "smiley face" on everything. Goddess help us.

2. Cheney's working on his last BYPASS

He's the bypass KING.

Don't those bypasses have a shelf life?

Let the clots begin...couldn't happen to a bigger DICK.
