So you have Democrats saying bad things about Republicans during an election year. Go figure...

Well, 2007 ain't an election year. You may be thinking of 2006 or 2008.

That a Democrat is responsible for the report does not invalidate its findings, and does not make it dismissable as political spin. It doesn't change that the Bush administration filled the CEQ with oilmen. Look at the link above, check out Philip Cooney. Check out Jeffrey Salmon, former head of an oil-industry think tank devoted to spreading BS on climate change. That's the George C Marshall institute, not the American Petroleum Institute, where Cooney worked before the CEQ. Salmon is now the Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy. Oh, and he was Cheney's speechwriter for a while.
These are the people who are tasked with environmental advice to the President.

Go figure

And so we have Bush rejecting Kyoto on the basis of advice from the oil industry.

The company was also successful in pushing the Bush administration to renege on previous U.S. commitments to the Kyoto Protocol.

To some observers, the House investigation, which drew on 27,000 documents gathered from the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the US Department of Commerce, is notable as the most comprehensive assessment so far of alleged manipulation of climate science by this White House. It includes previously unknown elements – such as a 2003 incident in which it says top presidential environment adviser James Connaughton personally helped edit the Environmental Protection Agency's draft legal opinion that denied the agency had authority to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions.
