Clearly, Mitch McConnell only feels comfortable handling things about which he's an expert.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
blows hot air about climate change:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declined to elaborate on his skepticism about man-made climate change Thursday, pulling out the well-worn GOP excuse that he's not an expert.
"I'm not a scientist, I am interested in protecting Kentucky's economy, I'm interested in having low cost electricity," said McConnell Thursday in an interview with the editorial board of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Funny, because Mitch McConnell isn't the president, but that hasn't stopped him from telling the president what to do.
McConnell also isn't a soldier—nor has he ever been—but that hasn't stopped him from pushing to fight more wars.
In fact, last I checked, McConnell wasn't a woman, but he still feels like he's the right guy to be making medical decisions for them.
Bottom line: McConnell might not be a scientist, but as the Republican leader in the Senate, his decisions will have more impact on climate change than just about anyone else in the world. So if he really feels so clueless about global warming, shouldn't he at least talk to some scientists?
