Lying. It runs in Kennedy's genes.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Nothing new.

[MindBender26]

When I was in the Army, "Crimes Against Nature" meant something very different.

Also, understand WHY the lying. The purpose of the Natural Resources Defense Council is not to save the environment, is not to save the US. It's to raise money to pay their salaries, so they lie to get the donors whipped up.

The Kennedys refer to those as lifestyle choices.

[sticker]

Why does anybody listen ANY kennedy, they are nothing but drunks, dopers and thugs.

[Carry_Okie]

Pinging California people. RFKJr. is one of Arnold's principal advisors. Maybe FareOpinion can tell us why we should be happy about that.

[The Great RJ]

RFK Jr. recently appeared on Bill O'Rilley's program discussing this article and was virtually foaming at the mouth. He made some obviously ridiculous assertions and simply could not answer O'Rilley's questioning about the sources or studies that backed up these rants. What was most apparent was his seething hatred of George Bush.

Democrats do know how to run a business. They run the Fearmonger's Shop.

[SierraWasp]

Looks like Jonathon Adler did what I was hopin you'd do! Oh well...

[SierraWasp]

"One would think that Kennedy, an environmental lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council and law professor at Pace University, is an expert in environmental law."

Like we've been tellin the folks in FReeperland!!!

[Carry_Okie]

I knew better.

If NRO got an email from me or Johnathan Adler, who would they publish? Adler wrote a lot of words about a few things he said wrong without getting to the real meat of how destructive to the country and the environment he and the NRDC really are.

What I have to say would bring the NRO lawyers running and bog the response down for days. What JFKJr. did was firmly establish his own complicity with the NRDC for all to see. Don't worrry, he's digging himself in deeper. What is sad is that he's taking Arnold in with him, however witlessly deserving he might be. The words "blind ambition" come to mind.

[Redbob]

"And the fact-checkers should not have stopped there either."

Fact-checkers?
At Rolling Stone?

Surely you jest: why would they "check" facts that so obviously fit into their world-view?

[FairOpinion]

Ping me when he actually DOES something according to RFKJr's advice. Until then watch what he actually DOES.

[colorado tanker]

It's all about money, to keep the environmental industry going. Every time a piece like this is circulated, the goobers who believe these lies mail in their checks thinking that will "save" the environment.

[.cnI redruM]

Very true. Saving the planet is an industry as well as a cause.

[colorado tanker]

Betcha the mafia wish they'd thought of it - perfectly legal extortion playing on the fears of the ignorant.

[.cnI redruM]

Send us the pimp roll or Gea gets whacked!

[colorado tanker]

LOL!

Schwarzenegger pick for state EPA bashes Bush
Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. - Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger's choice to head the state's environmental protection agency criticized the Bush administration Thursday for failing to reduce greenhouse gases or prevent forest fires.

Terry Tamminen, executive director of Environment Now in Santa Monica, said a federal decision earlier this year "undermines our ability to control greenhouse gases."

"We can't just stick our head in the sand, and pretend it doesn't exist," said Tamminen, in his first public remarks since his appointment was announced. He was referring to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's decision earlier this year not to regulate carbon dioxide, a contributor to global warming.

Tamminen's remarks came at a conference of the Bay Planning Coalition, which includes representatives from business and industry, environmental groups, unions and other associations.

He suggested that the Schwarzenegger administration could challenge several Bush administration environmental policies, including the EPA's ruling that the federal Clean Air Act doesn't apply to carbon dioxide.

Environmental groups have applauded the appointment of Tamminen but have criticized the appointment of James Branham, an executive at timber giant Pacific Lumber, as his deputy.

In the end, the administration will have "strange bedfellows," Tamminen said. "The governor listens to a lot of people, reads a lot of material and decides for himself."

Tamminen also criticized President Bush's so-called Healthy Forests Initiative. He said the policy fails to remove underbrush in the residential and wildlands interface where fires cause the most damage - a view widely held by environmental groups.

Tamminen, 51, has worked as a sheep rancher in Wisconsin, real estate developer in Florida and pool contractor in Santa Monica. He met Schwarzenegger through Robert Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer in Washington D.C.
