Video: Real U.S. Chamber of Commerce Spokesman Interrupts Yes Men's Fake Presser

The combined press release and press conference stunt designed to embarrass the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over its opposition to climate change policy was nearly completed until the Chamber’s spokesman and communications director Eric Wohlschlegel got wind of it and hightailed the six blocks or so from his office to the National Press Club.
