Because the picture that caused the polar bear testimony was a lie.

A kid should not have testified on global warming and "polar bears dying." I'm assuming there are scientists out there who've been studying these things a bit longer and could give better, FACTUAL testimony.

They had some random crying kid testify over polar bears and at the same time call their arguments scientific? How absurd.

And to defend themselves and their actions they attack Rush for making fun of the crying kid. I would have liked to see them put a scientist up there to talk about it rather than reply with "You were mean for making fun of a little inuit girl!!"

at the same time, at least those kids THOUGHT they knew what they were doing. the kids used by the white house for the health insurance debacle press conference didn't even know they were being used.

I think manipulating and exploiting children is worse than just simply exploiting them. Two wrongs don't make a right though.

Because Bush is still in office and can still be blamed for stuff that happenes on his watch, whereas Clinton has been out of office for nearly a decade and conservatives still try to divert every single issue into being about something Clinton did?
