Leave it to the Monbiot-loving Thom Yorke to call out Bush -- in mid-song, no less -- over America's failure to participate in the Kyoto agreement. That's a pretty good political use of their airtime, I'd say.

Radiohead's Thom Yorke criticised US President George Bush on US TV show 'Late Night with Conan O’Brien' yesterday (April 23).

While performing ‘House Of Cards’ from their London studio for the show, Yorke said that the song's chorus of "denial, denial" was dedicated to "that man who walked away from the Kyoto".

President George Bush famously left the Kyoto agreement in 2005 because he believed that the climate change treaty didn't suit America’s needs.
