John Snow was asked to speak to a joint session of Congress by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. \u201cI was thrilled to find out that he accepted my invitation,\u201d said Reid. \u201cIt was very difficult to get in contact with him. I think that maybe someone is killing all of my messenger ravens. But rest assured his visit will be handled with the same straightforward class and dignity with which I always handle congressional business. In other words, it\u2019s gonna be a freak-show circus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked what prompted the move to bring in John Snow to speak on climate change, many analysts are adamant that it is strictly a political move. \u201cThis is classic political theatre,\u201d said veteran political reporter Jeff Greenfield. \u201cIt is also a retaliatory political move. One party stirs things up by bringing in Benjamin Netanyahu, the other party brings in their own gloomy foreigner, John Snow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, neither side of the debate is certain of John Snow\u2019s exact position on climate change, and Snow has not shed any light on what he will say. \u201cI look forward to speaking to the leaders on the floor of their domed castle,\u201d said a cryptic Snow. \u201cAnd when they all go home to their warm beds, I shall return to my keep, shielding the kingdoms from the deep cold of winter, giants, wildings and white walkers. For I am the watcher on the wall. Also, I hope I make it to DC in time to see some of the cherry blossoms in bloom. I hear they are quite lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The appearance by John Snow will be carried liveby all major news channels,and is expected to get a large viewing audience. \u201cAt first we weren\u2019t going to carry it,\u201d said FOX Newsexecutive Roger Ailes. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s just another bastard speaking on the floor of Congress. But then again, John Snow gets really good TV ratings. And, who knows, maybe he\u2019ll mistake John Boehner for a really tan white walker and sparks will really fly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
