Now don't you 2 rant about the Kiwis and their troops

But something that came back to mind yesterday

Bush once said at one of the Climate Conferences (maybe there's a different name for it in English Can't imagine it but possible - just translating here ) when they were talking about Global Warming:

What do I care about Global Warming? - I'll just turn up the aircon!

Not that it was a joke or anything. This REALLY was his opinion. That alone is reason enough not to vote for him

Doesn't surprise me that he said that...but it does somewhat surprise me that he wasn't joking. Ok, more than surprise, I think it's a sad commentary...
