Senate Dems to yammer all night about global warming

Font Size:

There’s a chance of snow in Washington DC this week, but that’s no reason for Barbara Boxer to shut up. After all, weather isn’t climate unless it’s hot outside.

Susan Davis, USA Today:

A majority of Senate Democrats on Monday will launch an overnight “talkathon” until approximately 9:00 a.m. Tuesday to draw attention to climate change.

The overnight effort, organized by Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, is part of the recently launched Senate Climate Action Task Force headed by Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island…

The Democratic effort is cause for some confusion because these senators are calling for action in a chamber they control but without any specific legislation to offer up for a vote, or any timetable for action this year.

Babbling uselessly for hours and hours about something that doesn’t even exist? Yep, that sounds like the Democrats.

This is supposed to “wake up Congress” about “climate change.” As if that hoax hasn’t been shoved down everybody’s throats all day, every day, for the past 15 years. But to limousine liberals, that just means they haven’t talked about it enough. It’s not that their agenda has failed. It’s not that their ploy to grab even more power has been thwarted. They just haven’t sufficiently scolded the rest of us.

November is going to be fun.
