EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy announced she’ll be traveling to Japan later this month to talk about global warming just as Congress is demanding she testify about the agency-caused toxic waste spill in Colorado that happened earlier this month.

“After spilling millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the Animas River, the EPA has an obligation to be forthcoming about what went wrong and potential long-term impacts on local communities,” Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith said in a release, demanding McCarthy appear before the House science committee to answer lawmakers’ questions about the spill.

Gina: "Congressman, you talkin' to me?"

Maybe she could poke around Fukushima. There’s some containment vessels in need of exploratory breaching. /S

Good for her. Id flip ‘em the finger too. All they will do is throw a little hissy fit and say something really that shows they are really upset.

Nobody will take them seriously until their budget gets zeroed out. Its the only power congress really has.

[RightGeek]

Cut her expense account.

[Resolute Conservative]

And passport.

The EPA chief knows the pit yorkies in the GOP won't do anything, so why not flip them the bird? Sorry, but until the GOP starts doing some things AND getting results, their words are just meaningless.

Don’t they hold the purse strings? Do they have any enforcement capability?

Maybe the timing will be just right, so the demagogue from the Vatican will be crossing the border as the water turns to poison.

"Don’t they hold the purse strings? Do they have any enforcement capability?"

We're talking about John Boehner here:
Purse strings? Enforcement?
Not when your balls are missing...
