According to President Bush's former press secretary, the former president's refusal to sign the Kyoto climate change deal in 2005 set the stage for current climate change negotiations in Copenhagen.
"Because [Bush] declined to go forward with Kyoto, which is ultimately the right thing to do because the major economies like China and India weren't at the table, he worked to get them at the table and now this meeting is the next logical step in that process," Perino told Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday.
Oh, my face and stomach hurt. Hahahahahahahahah!
Dateline Washington DC:
Dana Perino credits Bush with her daily BM!
Too funny!

What else should we expect from the Voice of America?
Perfect! The Voice Of America is a CIA op.
Like Dana.
and recently nominated by president obama to the Broadcasting Board of Governors
that said, since she now works for the obama admin, why does she continue to shill for bush?
[not sure why you make a point to mention her former position without mentioning her current position]
The BBG is an autonomous body, with, I suppose, the exception of one member: The Secretary of State.
By law, the BBG is composed of nine members: The Secretary of State, four members that may belong to the President's political party, and four members who must be members of a political party to which the President doesn't belong, all subject to approval of the Senate.
So Obama could have appointed four Democrats, two Libertarians and two Greens to the BBG, but some Republicans in the Senate would have placed holds on all of the appointments.
I'm pretty sure the BBG isn't made up of full-time members, either. The Governors aren't executives, at least not of the International Broadcasting Bureau, the entity with whose oversight the Governors are charged.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
true. and i take back my comment that she "works" for the obama admin: she was merely chosen by obama to serve as a overseer of govt-sponsored int'l broadcasting--so no big deal then, i guess.
there are a lot of republicans that didn't serve as mouthpieces for the bush admin that could have been appointed.
but, for some odd reason, obama tapped bush's former press sec'y for this post.
maybe in the law you sited there is some by-law that requires nominees for the BBG to be skilled PR hacks from former administrations. i just don't know, anything is possible i suppose.
... if gov't sponsored overseas broadcasting is basically propaganda, who better to serve on the board than this clueless, useless shill for Bush?
I mean, she doesn't even have to know anything (like about the Cuban Missile Crisis). She just opens her mouth and pro-American nonsense flows forth.
which takes me back to my orig post: why does she continue to shill for bush?
Probably not...But think of the qualifications required of a BBG member: Background in public and foreign relations, maybe someone with broadcasting experience...Now think of the Republicans who meet any of those requirements, and tell me you'd rather see someone serving as a Governor who was a former Clear Channel exec, or the flak for the American Petroleum Institute.
But the beauty of it is that Perino and the other Republicans serving at the time being are powerless. Not that they don't have a voice but....Wait for it.....

WHO IN THE FUCK EVER TALKED ABOUT THE BBG BEFORE OBAMA APPOINTED PERINO? SOME POWERFUL BOARD IT IS, HUH?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
bush's former press sec'y is the best choice, in your estimation. ok.
There are no good choices.
And, again, who cares? It's the Broadcasting Board of Governors, so unless I missed something....
Oh, wait, I just got something from the BBG in my in-box...Well I'll be damned. Seemed there was a coup! The BBG and the GWTBYBIHSC (Girls Who Talk Behind Your Back In the High School Cafeteria) have supplanted the Trilateral Commission and AIPAC as the super-secret organizations who now control your thoughts via flouridation of the public water supply! Who'dathunkit?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
BBG is:
responsible for all U.S. government and government sponsored, non military, international broadcasting
Every week, more than 175 million listeners, viewers, and Internet users around the world turn on, tune in, and log on to U.S. international broadcasting programs.
http://www.bbg.gov/broadcasters/index.html
i don't think perino is qualified to work at mcdonalds, so i def don't share your POV that she is the best choice for this, as you deem it, unimportant agency.
You're the person who was up in arms over Blanquita Walsh Cullum's appointment to the BBG.
She's such a bitch.
BTW, where did I say Perino was the best choice? Shit, she wasn't the only Republican appointed to the BBG by Obama on the same day. Would you like to tell me who that other Republican is, and what his/her bzckground is, and why s/he is a better/worse selection than Perino? I mean, this is important stuff here, and I need to know. And since I can tell you're on top of it, you can tell me who that appointee is, the background, the pros and cons...I've got to run down the street, back in ten minutes, but I'm sure you'll have us all filled in by the time I get back.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
all kidding aside: former bush admin shills should not be appointed to ANY govt position. they should be answering for their part in the bush legacy of crime. not rewarded.
i thought even the most stringent obama supporter would agree with that.
color me shocked.
Let's say you, Samson, had the power to level charges in the International Criminal Court: What would be the specific charges against
Dana Perino?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
I would say the first would be accessory after the fact.
After all, she prides herself in knowing how to accessorize.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
what would the specific charges be? On what date did she say what that was knowingly a criminal act?
IMO, legitimate war criminals benefit when we start accusing just anyone of war crimes on the loosest of suspicions.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
hmm... i didn't write 'war' crime... odd
In what crimes did Perino take a part?
And while we're there, in what crimes did, say, HRC take part? And what part did the HRC voters of NY play when they elected her to the Senate? What part did the families of those voters play?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
i obviously touched a raw nerve...
i will stop
you've worked yourself into a tizzy and seem to be defending dana perino's tenure as the bush white house spokesperson.
take a step back and consider that for a moment.
I'm not the one making magical mountains out of molehills and populating those mountains with imaginary wizards and unicorns.
Look, imo, Perino sucks. Republicans suck. A lot of Democrats suck. But that they suck doesn't make them criminals.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
i don't think dana perino deserves to be appointed to anything, period. end of story. and by way of snark, sarcasm, strawmen and red herrings you have spent the afternoon defending her appointment.
and, ANYONE who was part of the bush admin at that level, imo, is impliacted in bush crimes. and, if america was so blessed to investigate bush crimes, should answer for their role.
just come out and say it: andy k feels that dana perino deserves to be 1 of the 8 people appointed to the agency that is responsible for overseeing US broadcasts that reach 175 million people.
i await your pointless insults.
...appointing Perino and appointing any other Republican to the same job?
And, any Republican appointed to the BBG at this point- and for the reasons I gave in my first reply, there are necessarily four Republicans- is in the minority on the Board at this point, because there are nine members, five of whom (the Secretary of State and the four Democrats) are all theoretically aligned with Obama. So if the Director of the IBB- also a Presidential appointee, and one who, I assume, actually serves at the will of the President- goes to the board requesting proposed policy changes or budget concerns, all s/he has to do is get the five votes of those Democrats.
The BBG is effectively a sham. It's all show. The governors in the minority have as much power over US overseas propaganda broadcasts as do you and I.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
... Samson's got a point about why Perino was hired on in the first place. There's something about picking someone who isn't in your party, that's fine, but there's something entirely different when you pick someone who may have been instrumental in Bush's legacy (and still carries water for him too!)
It's ridiculous that any of those people are allowed to walk around in the open without being cleared of wrongdoing, let alone be given jobs of any importance.
And none of that "they suck, we suck, everyone sucks" nonsense. That's a terrible ploy used by people who've dug themselves a hole so they can drag everyone else down to their level.
Obama makes a list of four potential appointees to the BBG, and sends it to the chairperson and ranking minority member of the Senate committee charged with recommending approval of appointees.
The list comes back with notes: Candidates A(Democrat), C(Republican), D (Democrat) and are completely acceptable, but B(Republican) is unacceptable to Senator X (R, Red State). However, Senator X suggests candidate 1(Republican) and 2 (Perino).
Obama looks at the X's suggestions and finds 1 completely unacceptable, but thinks about Perino, whom he considers...well, not wholly unacceptable. He sends a note to Senator X: "I'll give you Perino if you take your hold off of my candidate for the seat on the Federal Appeals court that covers your state." Senator X says, "You've got a deal."
And that's how sausage is made.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
That's kinda freaky, man.
There's also a difference between being brought up on criminal charges and merely being disqualified from holding certain positions.

Overseas? A whole different story. It's like Fox News International.

This coming from the same person who said there were no terrorist attacks under Bush.
What a twit.
"Twit" implies she is too bubble-headed to know the truth.
No, she's a twit because she is not deeply embarrassed for telling so many lies. She should be so ashamed of herself that she stops making all these lying appearances on TV. Instead she seems to believe that people should simply take her at her word. That makes her a twit....a twit with no respect for the truth.
you have to lie for eternity. What a sad, broken woman.
Good lord.
According to Perino Bush was the greatest president ever. Hey, there were no attacks on the US under his watch.
is intended to be a factual statement
Not. A. Single. One!
We have a Inane inept, mouth piece of the past Failed War Crimes Administration parroting right wing lies and sound bytes, then they want to put this Idiot in the White House.
You have the Military Industrial Complex writing War for PROFIT policy so they can stay in business with failed policies while they work behind the scenes to get us into IRAN.
The Socialist Corporations writing FAILED policy to INCREASE PROFITS and enslave Americans.
You have the Racist Nazi Party of NO stalling any and EVERY Policy to assist and Aid the average American.
Then you have a bunch of EUNUCHS that CONTROL both Houses and the White House that are more concerned with reaching across the aisle then DOING what they were ELECTED to do.
A President that is suppose to be a Constitutional Scholar that is circumventing that very thing he is SWORN to up hold.
Now tell me these Clowns Morons and dweebs are in charge.
Sure hope their Buddies across the aisle are going to support them with money and votes in the NEXT ELECTION.
NOW WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE.
Read Chomsky's "What Uncle Sam Really Wants." All the answers to your questions are in that little book.
BTW--BHO was just a law school professor, not a scholar. Anyone with a doctorate can teach at a college level, pretty much. He also has never practiced law, but he has a JD. He is a lawyer in education, only. No street fighting skills that are apparent.
And I don't necessarily mean 'the people with the money' - they do the things they do to get MORE money. They don't understand why, they just want more of it. Maybe they throw it on the bed and roll around naked in Benjamins.
It clouds their thinking. It keeps them from doing things that other find 'soul-nourishing' or which contribute to a person. (A conservative co-worker of my wife once seemed puzzled at the concept of reading for personal enlightenment. "Why would you do something that doesn't make you any money?")
Even 'charity' is an obligation (eg. Goldman Sachs) - they're not doing it because they care about the less fortunate; they're doing it for the tax writeoff, or so they can pretend to be generous. It's all in service of their god, Mammon.
Time to repeal terms limits so we can have Bush back.
Wait a minute - Obama is now the WAR President, and busy pushing corporate interests in health
insurancecarereformlegislation, so there is no need to repeal term limits.why not.
philosophy--"Bushism." BHO is a "Bushist." It is all based on "Bullshittery."
shitty environmental record. "Hey, Bush has aged the planet 100 years in only 8. We GOTTA do something NOW! We'll get together in Oslo or Copenhagen or something, tout de suite!!!"
me-oww!
So by that logic, Dana, can we credit Bush for the Afghanistan and Iraq failures, the bank failures, the world hating the U.S., etc. etc.?
Each of those alleged "failures" you mention were ACTUALLY Bush's greatest successes, setting the stage for the Thousand Years of Global Democracy !!!
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!

stuff.
Oh, OK. I stand corrected. Was that "Thousand Years of Global Democracy" one of daddy Bush's thousand points of BS?
Now you've got it !!

Blow it out your ass, sock puppet.
I've never understood how some people can lie, connive, deceive, spew BS, etc, etc .. and then without a shred of remorse lie, connive, deceive, spew BS, etc, etc AGAIN to cover for it .. until everything they say is a tissue of lies concocted to promote their own deeply skewed version of "reality" ..
.. but their numbers are legion ..

Remember, the Catholics/conservatives also thought that the Earth was the center of the solar system, and when observing retrograde motion, they added epicycles (orbits within orbits) to maintain their worldview even when it was apparent and made more sense that the solar system was heliocentric.
Shoot, they didn't even forgive Galileo for several hundred years.
Actually, the Roman Catholics were willing to accept the theory, but Protestants weren't, and in the ensuing theological controversy, the Catholics turned against it, and remained officially so until the rescinding of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum during the Second Vatican Council 1966.

Thomas Friedman on MTP thinks we need $1.00 a gallon gas tax. Didn't the high cost of gas contribute to the lousy economy that we are suffering now? 47 million can't get affordable health insurance, unemployment is at 10% and he thinks the gaas tax will solve these problems.
And on top of that it's a POS tax heavily regressive.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
That's commonly used to depress quantity demand,
Now that gas is relatively no longer expensive SUV's and trucks are flying off car lots, not the Hybrids anymore.
However, the gas tax would add to the cost of shipping and ultimately to the price tags since you know the corporations won't absorb it.
And on top of that, if Congress get's overly dependent on the gas tax, that would queer any attempts at updating CAFE standards.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Thomas Friedman is a moron! I never read his crap. Instead of saying we should bring back 90% maarginal tax rates on the rich, he proposes screwing the shit out of working people who are desperately trying to hold onto their middle class existence with less pay and fewer benefits! That is of course, if they aren't already been sent to the unemployment lines.
That's some logic there Friedman. When are you going to write an article saying we need to put extra food taxes on people with eating disorders; you know, like anorexia?
I'd like to pull that stupid-ass mustache off his face with a pair of needle nose pliars.

Two incompetents.
The real reason did not sign the Kyoto Protocol was because the Bush Administration was afraid it would cost companies to comply and eat away from their profits. The Republicans are all about profits above people. They did not want the Superfund and under Pres Bush they made it weaker. Killing to make a profit.

fear of reprisal
That is how I am beginning to sum up Obama. His track record is piling up way too many accomodations to Bush Neocon crime family, and this Perino flack is maybe not the worst but pretty bad.
Gates, McChyrstal, carry on Bush Doctrine will whole hearted Obama support.
Holder backs up Bush illegal wiretaps and refuses to investigate or prosecute numerous Bush crimes including Plame leak, torture, rendition, etc.
Nominating Perino to "placate Republicans and avoid confirmation blockage" is more kowtowing and compromise. There are plenty of alternative, and eminently more qualified, candidates on both sides of the aisle.
Given the BBG status and role, it would seem that the right appointees would be experienced diplomats and schmoozers - not ambitious demagogolic climbers.
Way to 'represent' our better natures, Obama.

...I wouldn't have to ignore Dana Perino ever again. Thanks a lot C&L for reanimating one of the presumed (figuratively) dead.
she so smoking hot, that I don't care what she says, it's fantastic. God what a set of eyes on her. That damn blue is pure hypnotic.
to work at Hooters,
positions of national import......not so much.
This ditz doesn't even know recent U.S. history.
However, she would be a bit older than the average Hooter waitress, as that is primarily a job for young women just starting out in life trying to make a few bucks.
Bush is also responsible for waiting so long, that polar bears are drowning, and New Orleans got wiped out.
seeing posters defending this idiot reminds me that this is definitively not the "change" a lot of us "hoped" for.
Again, let me point out the obvious: if you have to excuse Bush's former press secretary in order to deflect criticism from Obama, chances are you guys took the wrong turn somewhere.
Good grief...
The way this "lady" lavishes her praise and luv on Dumbya, she must have had some private relationship with the thug hidden from public view.
Is it the 21st century yet?
Sarah Palin must be secretly thankful for the existence of Dana Perino.
Just when you think Palin is the stupidest twit who ever walked the earth, along comes Perino and forces you to realize that there's always someone more idiotic still.
I'd say the two make a nice pair. (All double entendre's intended.)
I cannot express how upset I am that Obama would give this...person...anything. I just don't understand it. It's the "be kind to your enemies" administration. Embrace your enemies.
What Obama is forgetting is that his enemies are the enemies of America, and this is why we elected him President of the United States.
As far as what she is saying goes, it makes me want to vomit. It is a complete lie, and very simply refuted if ones looks at the totality of the Bush administration's actions in regards to Global Warming. They are all liars. They lie like they breathe. We had eight years of liars, and now we got someone kissing the liars' collective ass. And it makes me sick. We need someone who has some spine, who will stand up to evil, and more and more it seems that with Obama, we're just not getting it. Maybe he will change--I don't know. Maybe he'll wake up. Perhaps those who are committed to his destruction will finally go too far, and Obama will finally realize that this ain't no game. The fate of the world rests on his shoulders.
We'll see.
The only thing I can say is that she looks good when she lies. It's best to just mute the TV.
I have a huge tumor growing on the side of my torso and the doctors tell me it is cancerous and it eventually WILL KILL ME ...
but I refuse to get it treated until my son and my daughter get their cancerous tumors treated as well. The doctors have assured them that they will die if left untreated.
Does this make any sense to anyone? This is suicidal. This tiny little blue planet is ALL we have and if we do not take care of her then we are simply done.
We are killing ourselves and supposedly we won't go to the table until they first do. This is pure MADNESS and completely illogical.
