Bush Threatens U.N. Over Clinton Climate Speech Bush-administration officials privately threatened organizers of the U.N. Climate Change Conference, telling them that any chance there might’ve been for the United States to sign on to the Kyoto global-warming protocol would be scuttled if they allowed Bill Clinton to speak at the gathering today in Montreal,

Room for rent. Similar to the Clinton administration that they
heavily criticized, the Bush folks have opened a bed and breakfast up in that big White House with the cee-ment pond. Rates are steep but one thing many guests share is a membership in the exclusive
Pioneer Club.
One of my favorites is Edward Rose, Mr. Rose is a staunch Bush supporter having donated more than
42,000 dollars in the past along with $2,000[
1] directly. Then there is the Betts family, patriarch Roland was Dubyas frat brother and besides selling him the Texas Rangers has donated
$19,000 along with another 4K[
1] directly. For outright generosity it's tough to beat Brad Freeman, who opened his pockets to the tune of some
190,000 dollars.There's Joe O'Donnell (
$9,250)and James Simmons (
$27,550)... the list goes on but you get the idea. Aside from the Pioneer Club the only other thing these people share is great wealth and successful business careers, considering his choice in houseguests is this the right person to hold corporate America accountable?

Clinton: "They thought the election was over, the Republicans did. By the time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida".
Give 'em hell Bill!
