I’m sure his press secretary (is it still Perino - I try to shield myself from exposure to any of their propaganda) will tout this as evidence of his support of the environment!

My gym plays “Fox & Friends” in the morning. (Doesn’t that just sound like the cutest children’s program? “Why, yes, Mrs. Fox, I would love a crumpet…”
Anyway, they kept recurring to a video clip of a gibbon pulling a German Shepherd’s tail. Truly edgy journalism!
