Senate Bill — and Planet — Killed for Now

By Zamboni

Thank you, Senate Republicans, for putting the cause of saving the planet back for another few months.

We're saying that sarcastically, of course. And while we're dismayed that the climate change bill was blocked by the likes of Mitch McConnell and — yes, we're sorry to say it — four Democrats who voted with him, we look forward to next year. Perhaps by then, Republicans like Mr. McConnell, Norm Coleman and Liddy Dole will be gone.

And with a Democrat in the White House, we just might get something done on global warming.

In the meantime, we GROWL in the direction of the Senators who showed so little leadership today, and also in the direction of John McCain — who, with a visit to the Everglades, tried to pretend he didn't care more about the value of the oil companies' dollars than our children's future.
