An Intelligent and Courageous Politician
When I read this interview with Czech President Vaclav Klaus, I wanted to get on the next plane to Czechoslovakia. This man’s mind is superior to any American politician I have heard.
Wow! I LIKE this guy. I can imagine the sort of looks he get when he goes to various summits of European heads of state!
You know, a while back there was talk about changing the constitution so that the Austrian-born Economic Girly Man who is the Governor of Caly-fornia (a.k.a Ted Kennedy's nephew-in-law) could eventually run for President.
I say let's change it so that this guy can head up the GOP ticket in 2008.
Can you imagine the look on Hillary's face if she learned that she would have to debate this fellow on national television rather than the gutless wonders that the GOP usually puts forth.
I will grant you the courageous label for Klaus, but intelligent? It only takes a modicum of intelligence (applied in the right direction) to recognize the farce that is the global warming scare.
Mind you, he might be quite intelligent. I just can't tell from that interview.
"Senator James M. Inhofe , the Oklahoma Republican who famously declared global warming a "hoax," said this week that the skeptics were gaining momentum. He said President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic and scientists from France and Israel, among others, are now among the doubters."

Oh, you have senator Inhofe over there:
