Pants. On. Fire.

Sometimes you really do want to roll on the floor and laugh your ass off--if you're not sitting with your mouth hanging open. That would be my reaction when I read in MoJo Blog that Laura Bush called Richard Pombo "an enthusiastic steward of our country's natural resources."

Pombo, of course, has worked for years to destroy the Endangered Species Act, mostly by telling outrageous lies that were allowed by the news media and his own party to circulate throughout the nation.
