Chelsea Needs a History Lesson

Paul Chesser, Climate Strategies Watch

Speaking at North Carolina State University yesterday, Chelsea Clinton misremembered (I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt) her father's role (thanks Iain) in declining to send the Kyoto Treaty to the Senate for ratification, as the Associated Press reports:

Clinton told about 250 people at N.C. State that her mother, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, would work to repair the nation's reputation abroad.

"I think the world will breathe a sigh of relief when this president is gone," Clinton said, criticizing Bush for pulling out of various accordings (sic), including the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.

Of course if the AP reporter was on the ball, she would have corrected the record.
