Hahahahaha! I love when info-tainment pieces like this come out. From Think Progress: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) cited McCain’s environmental record, claiming that it’s stronger that former Vice President Al Gore’s. He can’t be serious. “Climate change is the road less traveled but he’s traveled it even more than Al Gore,” Graham said. “Al Gore has talked about it and deserves great recognition but he was around here a long time and never introduced a bill.”
That’s interesting spin, Sen. Graham. I guess he wasn’t aware that Al Gore held the first congressional hearings on climate change in the 1970’s. Just to make sure the record is clear: that was before John McCain was first elected.
Graham and McCain want to continue to fairy tale that McCain is some kind of ‘maverick’, as the corporate stenographic press continue to faithfully report, by trying to fleece the American public into believing John McCain is some kind of environmentalist. The double-speak on these matters is astounding. Conservatives rail against wacked-out, commie hippies that hug trees and work to undermine the economy when discussing environmental-minded Democrats. If McCain was interested in environmental issues, I could see the ‘maverick’ label as true. But he doesn’t even know what his economic policies are.
