Global warming according to Herseth?
House leaders today chose dueling rosters to fill a new global warming and energy independence panel, underscoring skepticism that the panel will serve as little more than a mouthpiece for opposing views in the global warming debate. The Democratic line-up includes two freshmen and members with mostly strong environmental credentials.
and...
Speaker Pelosi issued a statement saying the panel Democrats "are outstanding for their creativity, diversity of experience, and knowledge of energy and global warming issues."
The seven other Democrats on the panel received an average score from the League of Conservation Voters last Congress of roughly 84 percent. The other Democratic panelists are Reps. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, Jay Inslee of Washington, John Larson of Connecticut, Hilda Solis of California, Stephanie Hersethof South Dakota and Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri. Herseth is the only representative of the conservative-to-moderate Blue Dog Democrat coalition and had the lowest average LCV score of 53 percent last Congress.

Exactly! What's the democrats plan for curing global warming?
Taxes of course!!
Tax cars, tax businesses, tax anyone who uses energy.
BTW, has anyone else seen the fact that Al Gore's house uses enough energy in 28 days what it takes a normal house to run in a year?
Maybe he should watch his own crappy video!
From last weeks NBC News: “leaders of the religious right warned others are using the global warming controversy to shift the emphasis away from the great moral issues of our time.” To Mr. Dobson and the others, the great moral issues include homosexuality (and gay marriage in particular), abortion and, more broadly, sexual mores among young people.”
But of course Herseth would rather spend her time talking about Global Warming. Says a lot about Herseth doesn’t it!
What's wrong with Herseth being on an energy independence panel? Doesn't that benefit the ethanol and biodiesel industries?
And VJ, if you want to talk about the great moral issues of our time, how do you feel about Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama each married to their first spouse and none of the 3 accused of cheating on that spouse - while:
Giuliani is on wife #3 and cheated on the first 2.
Gingrich is on wife #3 and cheated on the first 2 (I could say more about the unethical book deal that forced him to resign from office).
McCain is on wife #2 (I could say more about his membership in the "Keating 5").
Posterboys for bad behaviour (British spelling). Says a lot about the morality of your Republicans, doesn't it VJ? Let the spin begin!
Of course, they will forgo this opportunity, because, as evidenced by the people on this blog, they don't believe such an opportunity exists.
Welcome to the backwater of the South Dakota mentality.
Yes, those Clinton's are sure known for their sexual purity!!
Does anyone know of a good cigar shop? ;)
I think you can find as many Dems as Reps who are divorced or who are still married to spouse #1. Marital infidelity is not a single party issue.
And the fact that Gore is spokesperson for global warming while living in that mansion of his and flying around in his private jet, while at the same buying "carbon credits" (from a company he owns stock in) is laughable. What's pathetic though is that people are listening to him. What's more ridiculous are carbon credits.
