Environmental self-parody
Again via lucianne.com, we have a story from a paper in Salem, Oregon entitled "Religious leaders criticize Bush on environment." http://159.54.226.83/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050219/NEWS/502190343 One quote tells you all you need to know:
"The Clear Skies (initiative) is a lie because the administration's proposals for air pollution allow coal-burning facilities to keep polluting the atmosphere," said retired Rev. Paul LaRue, who is a member of the Jason Lee United Methodist Church in Salem. "The same could be said for water pollution. The administration favors industry, it favors corporations, and it favors rich people who continue to exploit the earth at the expense of all the rest of us."
I don't mean to make fun of a retired senior minister. I'm just amazed that a reporter, an editor and a publisher each think this is worthy of quotation. Why not just call Bush an evil, mean-spirited, hate-filled, racist, sexist, homophobe who wants to starve kids and kill old people and cover ALL the bases?
