NPR Rewrites Kyoto History

Your tax dollar is hard at work at NPR, rewriting history to suit the liberal storyline. Look how bad old Republican Bush nixed the Kyoto Protocol:
The protocol, which expires in 2012, was never submitted to Congress for ratification. President Bush objected to it because it exempts China and India, two of the world's fastest-growing economies, from the tough standards.
Actually, it was the Senate that killed Kyoto — four years before W took office. With characteristic disregard for the country's well-being, Clinton gave in to Al Gore's nagging and signed Kyoto in 1997. The accord would have spelled doom for the American economy, so the Senate passed a resolution 95-0 stating plainly that it would not ratify this suicide pact, which is why it was not submitted to Congress. Even committed leftists like Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer voted against Kyoto.
AP has spun the same false history of the Kyoto Protocol. But at least they didn't do it on the taxpayer's dime.
Hat tip: Captain's Quarters.
