I Love James Wolcott

Here's his latest diatribe against the Chimp, from which I have excerpted the following. He is responding to a CNN reporter saying the administration owes Tony Blair, so perhaps they would work on global warming, something near and dear to the British PM's heart:

Like his party and the rightwing media that pimps for it (about which voice of sanity Molly Ivins has more to say), Dubya places religion over science, refuses to acknowledge that global warming even exists as a planetary peril, and has never shown the slightest interest in conservation, mass transport, or anything else that might prevent the paving over of every inch of countryside. He would plant oil rigs in Arlington Cemetery and shovel straight through the bones of dead soldiers if reserves were discovered beneath the rows of white crosses, and chainsaw the last tree in the rainforest out of pure spite.

I would give a lot to be able to write like Mr. Wolcott, who is now a writer at Vanity Fair. If you haven't read his blog, shame on you.
