In the video to your right, Will Ferrell plays "the Commander-in-Chief of the World" is this faux promo about climate change. In it Bush struggles to explain the issue and rails against "facts" and "scientific data". It's silly and funny at first, until you find out it's not too far off from the real thing.

LOL!! And he does SUCH a good shrub imitation. Love it. Yeah, this video is funny but it's sad that it's really pretty ON... it's not all that much of a parody, scarily enough.

Apparently China has said that they are going to control the weather for the Olympics. And, of course, we know that the Bush administration created Katrina (to kill blacks and give reconstruction contracts to Texas builders). Or, more likely, the Japanese mafia (Yakuza) created Katrina to punish the USA for Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Want proof that is more sensible and scientific than Gore's messianic prophecies? linked text linked text [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: Maybe "Global Warming" is actually true and not just another conspiracy Posted by: nathanprophet Nice. [Report this comment] Posted by: ABetterFuture on Jul 14, 2007 10:16 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] "i'm sure by now you've heard what liberal scientists are trying to say. liberals and godless tax-raisers are trying to make me look bad by saying things like facts and scientific data..." Ferrel is very funny. Science requires skepticism on all data, even environmental data. Like most folks, our fearful leader gets confused when his belief structure or crusade of the day is challenged by nasty things like objectivity and the requirement for rigorous peer-review.

As it is, it is quite sad. Bush is the worse thing that's ever happened to America. Starting with "Johnson the Misleader", then "Nixon the Crook", and "Clinton the Liar", we now have "Bush the Idiot". The American people, at least the thinking ones. have lost all confidence in politicians. Face it; they are all corrupt. They are bought and paid for by the ultra rich and powerful to do their bidding and get wealthy doing it. They do not care for the American people or our country. They care about themselves. What we need is a good old-fashioned ass-kicking of everyone in Washington, not unlike the French Revolution - sharpen up the guillotine.

I'd vote for Will, though.

Which came first the Will Ferrell version or the Youtube one?
