Cheney’s office involved in global warming manipulation.
E&E reports that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s hearing into Philip Cooney’s editing of global warming reports revealed that Cheney’s office also played a role. Kevin O’Donovan, an aide in Cheney’s office, wrote a memo to Cooney suggesting they try to “reinvigorate debate on the actual climate history of the past thousand years.” Waxman said the Cooney-O’Donovan memo “suggests active coordination between [White House Council on Environmental Quality] and the office of the vice president.”

Waxman is another light from the dark.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:37 pmOily Dick is going to spontaneously combust if the earth’s temperature rises one more degree….
March 20th, 2007 at 8:40 pmWow this administration never ceases to amaze me. Coverup after coverup, maybe they know it’s real, and coming soon. They plan to get their money now via robbing us with oil, and MIC profits.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:41 pmso THAT’S what the secret energy meeting was about!
March 20th, 2007 at 8:42 pmWaxman also asked CEQ head Connaughton to provide his committee with any other communications between the OVP and CEQ relative to the inquiry into global warming science manipulation.
Is there anybody that believes that there was only this one instance that came out in the hearing yesterday?
March 20th, 2007 at 8:43 pmThis one should come as no surprise. Trouble is, the general public doesn’t care.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:44 pmNahhhhh.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:47 pmewww, need a password for the eenews.net link?
March 20th, 2007 at 8:47 pmCheney will jump off the sinking ship soon…..
March 20th, 2007 at 8:52 pmWatch that blood cloth story…
Will wonders never cease?
March 20th, 2007 at 8:56 pmGreg Palast has an article on the adminstrations prior commitment to extract oil from Iraq. The war was just a pretxt, as every sane person on the planet has known for years

**Most of us want no part of a president who is cynical enough to use the majesty of his office to evade the one thing he is sworn to uphold — the rule of law.** -Tony Snow, March 29, 1998
March 20th, 2007 at 8:59 pmTP, links used to post, but I can’t post links anymore. Why?
March 20th, 2007 at 9:01 pmHeterodoxy
Someone in the White House Press Corp should throw that one back in Tony’s face
March 20th, 2007 at 9:03 pmI guess this must be another example of what Dumbya meant in 2000 during the campaign when he said that if elected he would “restore honor and dignity to the White House.” I guess the way he can honestly get out of that is the fact that he wasn’t elected.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:06 pmRE: #12
March 20th, 2007 at 9:06 pmApparently Tony Snow does not include himself in the “most of us” category….
The Palast link. can’t make it an active link.

We all know Snow is a hypocrite, he will probably never own up to saying that.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:09 pmOr say it is different because he now pleasures the, errr serves at the pleasure of the President.
Jeezuz!! There is no end to their conniving and manipulation and lies. One after another.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:25 pmIf they told me the sky is blue I’d have to look out the window.
They are an army of toadies, like and army of fire ants, working hard to corrupt everything.

They have taken parsing of words to an art form. Always leave an exit for themselves.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:27 pmCheney behind Cooney and Big Oil behind Cheney.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:42 pmWhy am I not surprsied?
March 20th, 2007 at 9:47 pmDickhead is starting to make even Tricky Dicky Nixon look good.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:16 pmWaxman said the Cooney-O’Donovan memo “suggests active coordination between [White House Council on Environmental Quality] and the office of the vice president.â€
Typo. That’s “office of Halliburton”.
Cheers,
March 20th, 2007 at 10:17 pmGlobal population is also expected to nearly double by 2050, that would mean that emissions would pretty much double as well.
Think about that.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:54 pmDick likes to remain in the dark. The sunlight burns his flesh and interferes with his nocturnal feeding habits. It’s no surprise he dropped the ball in the leadership category or f*ed over the people in the process, either.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:22 pmCheney will jump off the sinking ship soon…..
Watch that blood cloth story…

Cheney went back to the doctor today because his clot was bothering him. Seriously.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:46 pm#27- Is he dead, yet? Well, I can hope, can’t I?
March 20th, 2007 at 11:49 pmWaxman on the other hand is making himself look brilliant. Taking no prisoners or any shit. Defending the scientist when the Repukes tried to make him look like a hack. And putting everybody in their place.

They said it was the same clot he went for last time, that the blood thinner was working but it would take time.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:04 am“FRANKENCheney IS IMMORTAL!!!!! YOU FOOLS—-YOU CANNOT DESTROY ME—–Oops, Did I Just LOSE Another Bolt? Damn……”Said Cheney AS HE FELL HEAVILY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO Walter Reed, WHERE FRANKENCheney RAISED SUCH A FUSS, A HUE AND CRY THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE HIM TO A PRIVATE INSTITUTION—-”YOU’RE NOT TAKING ME IN THAT DUMP!!!!!” Screamed FRANKENCheney!!!!!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:28 amFor ANYONE who thought that electing Democrats to try to ensure a Democratic majority in the Congress wasn’t worth it, everything that has come out (finally!) about this administration should put that thought to rest. If nothing else, this demonstrates the difference between Democrats and Republicans…and NO, it isn’t just a “partisan” issue. These are facts that reveal the danger WE, the American people, have been..and continue to be, from this administration being in power. IMPEACH NOW!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:34 amLooks like all roads of corruption lead through the OVP. Doesn’t it?
March 21st, 2007 at 1:56 amH3ll, Cheney is fascist, is corrupt, and evil, but he’s really a hard worker. He has been behind every smearing, swifboating, destruction of documents, spy outing and all that black stuff since day one!
March 21st, 2007 at 8:53 amThere is no such thing as global warming. If anything, it’s getting colder. Al Gore is just trying to get the hippy vote for when he finally declares he’s running.
March 21st, 2007 at 9:02 amKaneh bosm !!!!!!!
March 21st, 2007 at 9:19 amIt is so time we get over this deabte. I say just forget about the deniers at this point and move on to solutions. We are running out of time and all I here is more arguing. I congradulate the Dems for accepting Global warming is man made, but I wonder if they ever plan to do anything about it other then use it as a pawn to gain political points. This he said she said certainly doesn’t cool the planet any. The endless investigations proving Cheney doesn’t believe in Global Warming is mind boggling since we already knew he doesn’t. Why waste time gathering info that we the people already know unless this is just the start of another political show trial. Please please please Dems. Get your act together for humanity’s sake and start working on legislation that reducing America’s emissions and do it fast already. I think I speak for most Americans when I say: IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE TOWARDS ENDING GLOBAL WARMING. I really hope the Dem base starts to realize how little is being done. Then, maybe then, the Dems will get some force applied to them. They need to take the kiddie political gloves off and work on real legislation one of these days.

March 21st, 2007 at 8:28 pmto the journalists to the public.
I am more concerned each day as to who or whom is running this country … running it into the ground no less…
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Congress was full of WAXMANs! Honesty and accountability (and hard work and thought) in Congress… Wow! What a concept — !
