Posted at 4:12pm on Oct. 30, 2007 Jeanne Shaheen: Democrat, Politican, Idiot
Get informed before you rant, Ms. Shaheen
By Neil Stevens
Via National Review Online I came across an "interesting" quote of Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic candidate running for the Senate against John Sununu in New Hampshire:
These wildfires are a direct result of this Administration's failure to do something about Global Warming.
Because I try to be generous about the motivations of people, I am forced to conclude that former Governor Shaheen is not very bright or capable, because even the slightest amount of research and reading into the history of California brushfires shows that there is nothing new here, not at all.
Far be it from me to assume that Shaheen is actually a bright woman, but instead is willfully ignoring and distorting the facts, standing over dead Californians, as well as the children and their families who have lost their homes, in order to make a political point in her run for the Senate. Far be it from me to do that at all.

Posted at 3:55pm on Oct. 24, 2007 Harry Reid plays partisan politics with the California wildfires
Reid, not really a scientist, faults "global warming."
By Mark Kilmer
Why are those wildfires in Southern California blazing uncontained, driven by the fierce Santa Ana winds? That is what fires do when they are uncontained and driven by fierce winds, but not in the universe of Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada).
From The Hill:
“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.
Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.
Too late, dingy Harry. You have played cheap partisan politics with tragic disaster. This speaks volumes about your character, which is similar to that of Pete Stark, the Congressman who tried to use the deaths of our soldiers to score partisan political points against the President and to argue for passage of a partisan political SCHIP bill.
Send in the clowns.
