Fergus Cullen, chairman of the New Hampshire GOP, sends along this quote from former Gov. and current Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen (D):

“These wildfires are a direct result of this Administration’s failure to do something about Global Warming.” (Gretyl Maclaster, “Shaheen, Shea Porter Address Dems,” Foster’s Daily Democrat, October 29, 2007)

This claim is far dumber than the claim that Global Warming is causing the fires — itself dumb enough. Even the Global Warming Alarmists claim only that the world is coming to an end as a result of 150 years of industrial progress. But now a mere six years under President Bush has caused the West to burn?

Where were these people during the fires in 2003? Were those Clinton’s fault, or did it take only two years for Bush to cause them? Are they going to blame Global Warming for the exceptionally inactive hurricane season we’ve just had, after they blamed it for an exceptionally active season just a few years back?
