A double-shot of Doolittle dirty deeds on the Center for American Progress’ blog.
First, they note a visit by Doolittle to a local elementary school, where he shows that he knows less about global warming that your average junior high school student.
Is the government doing anything to stop global warming?
Answer: Well, there’s a lot of talk about global warming. But the fact of the matter its uncertain as to what the facts really are about global warming.
Committees have been formed to discuss the subject.
I think its way overblown in the terms of the impact mankind actually has. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is getting colder, not warmer and Iceland has some of the thickest ice in decades. The earth is a pretty big place and a resilient place.
Did John Doolittle just fail “Are You Smarter Than A 7th-Grader?” I think so.
The second item concerns a vote by the full house on whether to refer “Dollar Bill” Jefferson (D-LA) to the House Ethics Committee, to start a process of possibly expelling the corrupt member. Of the only 26 members of the House who voted against the resolution, one was John Doolittle. Even Gary Miller and Jerry Lewis managed to vote to refer Jefferson to the Ethics Committee. Think Doolittle’s wondering about if the shoe will ever be on the other foot?
