Who could possibly think this moron was a lizard? That would be giving him too much credit.

The Bush administration is prepared to set punitive duties against $6 billion worth of Canadian softwood lumber on Friday ...
If some level of duties are maintained, which is the expectation, it would mark the second time this month the Bush administration -- which came in on a free-trade agenda -- will have taken action to shield a domestic industry from foreign competition.

Canadian Trade Minister Pierre Pettigrew said the talks failed because of excessive U.S. demands, which included an export tax of nearly 20 per cent on Canadian lumber that would have lasted five years.
