Sen. John Complain on Global Warming

Steven West
Interviewer: I'm here today with Sen. John Complain to discuss the issue of global warming. Thanks, Sen. Complain, for appearing on my show.

Sen. Complain: Thank you Chris. If I may, I'd like to say a few words first.

Interviewer: Sorry Senator. We have a limited amount of time to discuss this important issue. Let's cut to the chase. Do you believe that Global Warming is a threat to our country?

Sen. Complain: Of course it is. It's a threat to the world. I am committed to stopping Global Warming. I have written a bill that I hope will pass stating that the threat of Global Warming is over.

Interviewer: Do you really believe that anyone in the Senate would vote for such a ludicrous bill?

Sen. Complain: Of course not. So I'll next propose that we study this issue to death.

Interviewer: What about our environment? Our shrinking glaciers? Droughts and floods? Do we really have time to study this issue over and over again?

Sen. Complain: Look, I know that it is a problem, but I have to look after my special interests.

Interviewer: And they are?

Sen. Complain: Big industry, big oil, big coal, and a whole lot of other big concerns. I can't be bothered by the upcoming disasters in the future.

Interviewer: But...

Sen. Complain: That's exactly right. People need to butt out. I'll be long gone before the worst of the disasters hits. Meanwhile, I need to be concerned about my reelection and my pension. So a few endangered species take a hit. So our climate warms up more. Hey, in a few generations we can all take a vacation at the North Pole. Think of the possibilities.

Interviewer: I can see that I'm going nowhere with this interview. Anway, thank you for giving us your impressions of Global Warming.

Senator Complain: Would you like to see my demonstration of clubbing a baby seal?

Interviewer: No.

Sen. Complain: How about my Dick Cheney impression of shooting at someone?

Interviewer: No thanks.

Sen. Complain: Or my Sarah Palin impression of shooting a moose from a plane? That always knocks them dead.

Interviewer: No, Senator. Enough! This is Chris Platitudes saying so long and see you next time on the Platitude Report.
