Hugo Chavez, so far the star of the show, brought down the house yesterday at the climate summit with his anti capitalist rant which really got the crowd worked up.
Not to be outdone, here comes Obama, Pelosi (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/pelosi_climate_air_farce_Ffs6YfkXfxX3eTFJigpEaP)an d company with numerous planeloads of politicians including the inestimable Charlie Rangel to join in the fray and worship at the alter of climate change.
they'll spend millions on this, and will accomplish nothing but they'll get to live the high life on the taxpayer dime. Go get'em guys. In fact why don't you stay over there. Don't worry we'll get along just fine without you.

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (http://www.nypost.com/t/Nancy_Pelosi) is leading a large delegation on at least two Air Force jets to Copenhagen for the climate summit -- where participants harshly condemn the use of jet airplanes for the high amounts of CO2 they emit.
"This may be the largest congressional (http://www.nypost.com/t/U.S._Congress) delegation I have ever heard of," said a source at the 89th Air Wing stationed at Andrews Air Force Base of the trip to the UN summit, which is increasingly being criticized as a farce.
Using her authority as speaker, Pelosi reserved at least two jets based at Andrews AFB to fly her and her delegation to Denmark for the final days of the two-week conference.
But Republicans (http://www.nypost.com/t/U.S._Republican_Party) on Capitol Hill and the 89th Air Wing source said Pelosi actually reserved five planes to carry a delegation that includes as many as 24 Democrats (http://www.nypost.com/t/U.S._Democratic_Party) and six Republicans.
At a time when Democrats are grappling with a host of major issues from health-care reform to the financial crisis, Pelosi planned yesterday to clip short the workweek to make the climate summit.
"Climate change is a religion for them, so there was no way they were going to miss this," said one top GOP (http://www.nypost.com/t/U.S._Republican_Party) aide. "This is their Hajj."
A Democratic source insisted that the delegation would be using just two planes but would not specify further.
While the final manifest remained in flux late yesterday, it was said to include more than two dozen members of Congress (http://www.nypost.com/t/U.S._Congress), several spouses and committee staffers.
