GOP Sending Counter Delegation to Copenhagen: ‘The Truth Squad’

December 11, 2009

Apparently, Lindsay Graham isn’t joining them.

Via Weasel Zippers, Fox News reported:

A GOP counter-delegation is forming to undermine the Obama administration’s work on an international climate change agreement in Copenhagen, warning that the president is poised to make commitments he can’t keep and drawing heightened attention to controversial leaked e-mails. At least a half-dozen Republican senators and representatives are planning to head to Denmark next week, as part of the overall U.S. congressional delegation, which includes plenty of Democrats as well. 

But the Republicans have a markedly different agenda. 

“Truth squad,” is how Sen. Jim Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey described the GOP team. He called the Democratic visitors to the conference the “doom squad.” 

The Oklahoma Republican and ardent global warming skeptic plans to head to Denmark along with Sens. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and John Barrasso of Wyoming. On the House side, Reps. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, Joe Barton of Texas and Darrell Issa of California are tentatively planning to attend. 

Something tells me that Lindsey Graham won’t be joining them.

    They should have enlisted Roger Stone on this project. Gore would have went into seizures hearing of it, but there’s no hanging chad this time AL!
