He wants the Obama administration to regulate carbon emissions as pollution. And “even if we take strong measures here, we’ve got to force those measures on other countries,” he said in a five-minute speech on the House floor Wednesday.

[Olog-hai]

[ZULU]

The beauty of the Internet is these people’s moronic statements will never go away. Their stupidity will live on indefinitely for all the world to see. They will not be able to hide and they will be scorned for the fools they are.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Anything that would tend to shove the lid back onto Pandora’s box just gets ignored.
