RFK Jr.: Bush, Barbour to Blame for Katrina

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is blaming Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, along with President Bush, for causing Hurricane Katrina.

"As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, it’s worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bush’s iron-clad campaign promise to regulate CO2," Kennedy blogged Tuesday on HuffingtonPost.com.

The influential Democrat's enviro-conspiracy theory had the sinister Gov. Barbour engineering Bush's energy policy on behalf of "the president’s major donors from the fossil fuel industry." Kennedy charges that in March 2001, the former Republican National Committee chairman issued "an urgent memo to the White House" on CO2 emissions.

With that, the president dropped his pro-environment campaign promise like a hot potato.

Because of Bush and Barbour's CO2 folly, said Kennedy: "Now we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged."

RFK, Jr. even suggested that Katrina's last minute detour through Mississippi was a bit of Divine payback, declaring:

"Perhaps it was Barbour’s memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings for the Mississippi coast."

I thought the Kennedy men were all dead, drunk, or in prison. Who is this loon - the guy on the grassy knoll?

Inbreeding! Plain and simple.

Unbelievable, isn't it? It was predicted early on, that the radical libs would politicize the disaster which is EXACTLY what this piece of literary trash is.

Can they become any more damaging, useless and irrelevant in this country and its affairs???

I knew it! I just knew it!

The loons were going to tie big oil, Haliburton, Bush, Kyoto, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and global warming all together to claim it was all the evil fat cat Republicans Fault.

What an absolute ass! An absolutely ridiculous statement and it's not helping anyone caught in that hell hole they used to call New Orleans. Wonder if RFK Jr will send something to help house, feed and clothe the homeless?

He posting on Airheadiana's blog, and she flies around in a private jet.

Why didn't Klintoon push for ratification of the Kyoto treaty? Democrat senators voted against it.

I would wager that I and my family will consume far, far fewer resources and cause less pollution over our lifetimes than RFK, Jr. and his family. So as far as I am personally concerned, he can take his environmentalist whacko lectures and stick them in a dark place.

Kennedy is indirectly postulating that big Hurricanes did not happen until after the Kyoto treaty was signed. That's actually pretty good by Kennedy standards. It's still a complete moronic bust.

BTW, Arianna is a first class ---.

flaming stupidity is a genetic disorder commonly associated with the Kennedy clan, none of them were immune, not even Saint John Fitzgerald.

He is an enviro-wacko who flys around the country using more energy than you and I will use in our lifetime.
He is also fighting a company who wants to build a wind turbine farm of the coast of his home. A real top notch NIMBY.

Maybe that thing about the Kennedy curse is true because this one is as mentally deficient as Teddy. Unbelievable.

For all their fame, fortune and finagling, the Kennedys are still just bitter, hateful men with bad hair and teeth.

If global warming has progressed to such a degree that it's producing these kind of changes, shouldn't the polar ice caps have melted and raised sea level significantly (something we should be able to measure with considerable precision)? Shouldn't New Orleans be underwater already?

Even if Bush had become a true believer and instituted Kyoto on day one of his administration, even if global warming dogma were true, would that have made the whole doomsday scenario better after only a few years? Please.

Go, Dems, go. Stick your necks WAY out on this one.

Talk to a meteorologist, Jr. That's someone who knows about the weather, to someone with your IQ. These tend to run in cycles. Years will go by w/o the devastation of a hurricane Katrina, and then, bingo!

PS-Do you dress your own self each morning and get your shoes on the rigt feet?
