Tween Queen goes Green: Hannah Montana understands what Sarah Palin does not

 September 1, 2008

Wow, on the single most important issue facing America today, global warming, a fictional character is more knowledgeable than the new GOP VP choice (see “McCain VP Palin is a global-warming-denying, polar-bear-dissing, Pat Buchanan acolyte“):

Disney’s New Hannah Montana Album Features ‘Global Warming Anthem’
Teen pop star sings ‘Wake Up America,’ warns the ‘earth is calling out,’ but admits she doesn’t know ‘what all this means.’

Okay, Miley Cyrus shares one thing in common with Palin — she talks about global warming even though she doesn’t know what it means. Listen to the latest song by the influential 15-year-old singer who has the title role in the Disney Channel TV series Hannah Montana.

Here are the lyrics:

Oh, can you take care of her
Oh, maybe you can spare her

Several moments of your consideration
Leading up to the final destination

Oh, the earth is calling out,
I wanna learn what it’s all about,
But everything I read — global warming, going green
I don’t know what all this means, but it seems to be saying

Wake up, America, we’re all in this together
It’s our home so let’s take care of it
You know that you want to
You know that you got to wake up, America
Tomorrow becomes a new day and everything you do
Matters, yeah, everything you do matters in some way.

Kudos to Disney and Cyrus for putting this out there or her fans.

    The Disney nose to the wind detects the faint whiff of money.

    While the GOP snarls and denies, plenty of feet going into their mouths.

    Heres a good proverb…

    “People in a burning house cannot afford to lose time in an argument,” he said, citing an Ashanti proverb.

    How did we get to this point?

    …Time is fast running out to stop irreversible climate change, a group of global warming experts warns today. We have only 100 months to avoid disaster…

    Just in our nature…
