Talking Points
This is where it gets good. Today is "Unstable Stewardship Friday" and we're taking the Bushies to task for their anti-environmental policies:
- Bush's EPA is claiming that they can't regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act
- Mike Leavitt, Bush's nominee for EPA Chief, is refusing to state his views on environmental issues out of respect to the Senate. We thought maybe he was just taking cues from Bush's judicial nominees who realized that it is best for rabid partisans to keep mum. Oh yeah, and when he was elected Governor, he fired 75 government employees who worked for a state agency that had caught his family breaking the law. Not that there's anything wrong with, um, spiteful retribution by elected officials.
- The Bush Administration is particularly fond of leaving nuclear waste near major supplies of drinking water, recently asking Congress to overturn a court ruling barring them from endangering people's water.
- OK, I'll admit it, that last link is to the Natural Resource Defense Council's page on The Bush Record. And they're getting paid to do this and they're good. You gotta gripe or environmental topic of choice. They'll have it researched.
