For McCain, It Isn’t Easy Being Green

When Sen. John McCain unveiled his plan to tackle climate change, conservative commentators were up in arms.

“As a conservative, I’m really disgusted with this,” Heidi Harris, a Las Vegas radio talk show host said. “I don’t understand why he’s so focused on climate change.”

Rush Limbaugh added:

Conservatives are angry. … I have not faced a situation where a major Republican presidential candidate sounds just like a liberal Democrat. This is embarrassing, and it is frightening.

I can’t wait to see how frightened Rush will be at the news that John McCain’s presidential website now offers “Eco-Friendly Items.” (Notice that even the web image is recycled!)

At the site, the green consumer can get shirts consisting of 70 percent bamboo, organic cotton hats, tote bags, and notebooks and mugs made with recycled materials.

Already, the Drudge Report has linked to a story about the site. I’m betting it’s only a matter of time before other conservatives pounce.
