In a final demonstration that the entire Bush presidency has been a fraternity prank that got out of hand, the U.S. President left the G8 meeting today shouting the words, โ€œGoodbye from the world’s biggest polluter,โ€ and pumping his fist.

Short of announcing publicly how much his โ€œblind trustโ€ has earned from oil-related activity during the last eight years, it would be hard to imagine a clearer statement on why George W. has done less than nothing about climate change. He actually thinks this isย funny.
