The NYPost reported today that Speaker Pelosi and confreres will be jetting off to Copenhagen to attend the Climate Farce. While there was some question about whether they are taking 5 or just 2 Air Force jets, the part that stuck out for me was the following:
"...the 89th Air Wing source said Pelosi actually reserved five planes to carry a delegation that includes as many as 24 Democrats and six Republicans." (emphasis mine)
Ummm, why are Republicans collaborating in this nonsense? Are these the same Republicans scratching their heads over reports that the Tea Party, to the extent it represents a coherent political entity at least, is more popular than either the Democrats or the Republicans?
Small wonder.
[UPDATE] From Byron York, one of the Republican fellow-travelers, Rep. James Sensenbrenner says via a press release "I look forward to seeing these negotiations progress and will pay close attention to make sure any deal struck is a good deal for the United States."
Oh C'mon! The only good climate deal for the United States is no deal.
