Bush takes credit for increase in salmon production in WA
That's what it said on a CNN crawler this morning at 8:50 central time. Can you believe it, how would this champion of the environment ever be responsible for this. He will take credit for anything that might seem the least bit positive. What a joke.

Is that what he does on his extended vacations?

1. Yes. He has sex with fish and procreates wildly.
Leading to the increase in salmon.

Okay, it took a little gene-splicing and he hates technology. But he made the sacrifice.

Salmon die after laying their eggs or they would have sued.

Oh sacred one with fish sticks between his ears.

3. Bush: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully"
This immediately brought his old bushism to mind.

LOL

4. Wasn't the Navy testing DU ammo off the shores of Wash. State?
Perhaps the irradiated fish will now be mutants and be born with one head and two bodies...instant doubly of production!

7. SBX radar
will be moved to Alaska. Bush had nothing to do with that. It was the uppity protestors. :)

6. Maybe he farms them in his stocked fish pond on the pig farm.
The wild salmon are being overwhelmed by the fishery hatched salmon.

8. If by produced he means salmon farms he should be held responsible
They are destroying the wild stocks by disease and robbing of natural food source. If he is talking about natural stocks they are not "Produced" they reproduce themselves and last I heard are still on the threatened list. Until the dams are removed they will continue to diminish. I find the whole statement questionable that Salmon production is increasing unless like I said he is referring to farmed salmon and that is not healthy.
