George Bush, Environmental Champion

Via Think Progress, which picks up a report by the Palm Springs Desert Sun, we learn that the President has been bragging about an arduous bike ride he took up the Clara Burgess Trail inside the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument.

In doing so, he ignored a "voluntary avoidance" guideline for the Trail, which is in place all spring. Its purpose is to avoid disturbing the endangered Peninsular bighorn sheep during lambing season.

As Think Progress notes, a presidential bike ride usually involves a massive convoy to protect Bush against himself. I bet he really showed those sheep.
