I Can't Satirize Bush

You can't make this stuff up. The Independent is reporting that Bush will host next month's G8 summit at Georgia's Sea Island to showcase his record of "environmental stewardship."

But there are two glaring problems. The first is that Bush has been the most environmentally reckless president of the last - okay, the worst EVER. (please don't ask me to quantify that statement. I can say that Bush has the worst environmental protection record since the mid 1960s. That I can quantify)

The second is the site itself. I used to go to Glynn County - the summit site - several times per year. It is an environmental disaster.

According to The Independent, there are no less than 16 hazardous waste sites within 10 miles of Sea Island.

Read the article. See where the money to host the rich guys is being spent.

You know the drill. G8 = globalization fears = protesters = more $$$ for security. The wildlife gets..Trampled.

Somehow, I think the irony is lost on Bush.
