The Wall Street Journal sponsored a conference of business leaders last week at a much-covered who's-who event called Eco:nomics. There's a great post today on Grist about an important backstory:

The conservative ideologues -- the WSJ editorial board, invited guests Fred Smith and Myron Ebell of CEI, Steve Milloy of JunkScience -- thought they were going to put the CEOs' feet to the fire. Force the business community to face some hard truths. Expose carbon policy as an economy killer!

Instead, they ended up looking small, shrill, and utterly marginalized. Despite their claims to be pro-business, the business community disdains them.
