And speaking of bloated bloviators...
(Via Tim Blair) The AP startles with Former President Bill Clinton to appear at Rolling Stones concert:
Former President Bill Clinton plans to appear at a free Rolling Stones concert this week dedicated to raising awareness about global warming, event organizers said Sunday.

Clinton, who sported sunglasses and played his sax on "The Arsenio Hall Show" during a 1992 campaign appearance, isn't expected to perform with the rock band during the Thursday concert at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

Instead, he will make a speech from the stage addressing the importance of fighting global warming, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the nonprofit activist group staging the event.

The show was conceived as a way to put "a worldwide spotlight on global warming and the opportunities that exist right now to start fixing the problem," said Jon Coifman, spokesman for NRDC.
Having Bubba speak will put more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than the entire US fleet of SUV's do in a year. Especially if he tops off at a Taco Bell before the show.
