Robert Kennedy Jr. takes Bush to task

Thanks, Gub, for injecting this disrespectful GanGReen POS into California's political scene and letting him have your ear as an environmental advisor.

[bannie]

Not a Kennedy.

:p

[Brilliant]

Spoiled rich kids like Kennedy care more about the environment than they do about the economy.

[guitarist]

I don't think Robert Jr. is the victim of too much mercury, but rather too much secular humanism and junk science. He should learn to protect himself!

[Numbers Guy]

Kennedy said he had himself tested for mercury and was told his body contained double the amount considered safe. "My doctor told me if a woman had that level her child would have cognitive impairment, brain damage," Kennedy said. The doctor told him an exposed child could lose as much as 5 to 7 points from his IQ.

Sounds like it was about 50 to 70 points in Bobby Junior's case.

Spoiled rich kids like Kennedy care more about the environment than they do about the economy getting their name in print.

[bilhosty]

Sounds to me like he is back on drugs.

"The corps sends three energetic new lawyers out into Oakland's communities to work with neighbors and merchants to find creative ways to resolve nagging problems that impact their quality of life, whether it be blight, crime or environmental contamination."

The biggest "nagging problem" is the family represented by the speaker.

GAG...

[mabelkitty]

Isn't he one of JFK, Jr. poster-boys for bad behavior?
You know, the one who dumped his wife and kids, demanded and annulment so he could marry the chick he was cheating with? What a guy.

[SpaceBar]

Kennedy said he had himself tested for mercury and was told his body contained double the amount considered safe.

Assuming the above is factual, and since one of the main symptoms of mercury poisoning is insanity, this story makes perfect sense.

...and the president's penchant for installing polluting industry donors to lead sensitive federal environmental agencies.

Bush is shipping all the smokestack industries over to China and India. We're importing illegal immigrants by the millions to strip asbestos out of our buildings. Now we are shipping our white collar jobs overseas. What more do the socialists want? Complete collapse?

Speaking of illegals, I am now seeing those working for landscapers who are more and more using the gasoline back pack blowers to sweep an area. Now they are cleaning the streets in front of the properties. They create dust storms. The idiots wallow in the dust without masks. Why do I think my taxes will go to big legal claims to pay for lung diseases caused by these imbeciles and the stingy republicans who hire them.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I'd like to see Robert Kennedy Jr. strapped to a windmill blade on Martha's Vineyard forced to inhale the exhaust from 100 Hummers while he watches rich Republicans dump raw sewage into the ocean.

Robert Kennedy Jr. takes Bush to task

And this is important, how?

[asgromo]

I'd like to see you tripping on a banana peel because violence is funny, especially for people who say stupid things.

[oldbrowser]

had little to do with Oakland and everything to do with bashing President Bush, the president's environmental policies

I wonder how much pollution Kennedy has created flying around the country telling all "the little people" that they should not waste our natural resources or pollute our environment ?

I bet it is much much more than the average citizen.

Kennedy said he had himself tested for mercury and was told his body contained double the amount considered safe. "My doctor told me if a woman had that level her child would have cognitive impairment, brain damage," Kennedy said.

He should cut down on shark, swordfish, and Tuna steaks.

[Huntress]

Isn't he one of JFK, Jr. poster-boys for bad behavior? You know, the one who dumped his wife and kids, demanded and annulment so he could marry the chick he was cheating with?

No, that was his older brother, Joe Kennedy II. Bobby was just a drug addict, although I understand he has reformed.

[Optimist]

problems did not happen overnight, Kennedy accused the Bush administration of singlehandedly rolling back hard-fought environmental laws

No, the problems didn't happen overnight, but many of the laws did.
Bush DID roll back many laws signed as executive orders that
>>(a) were not legislated (or hard fought) by representatives of the people, and
>>(b) were LITERALLY signed by Clinton before he left office, creating standards that he wanted Bush's administration to "live with" that he chose not to for 8 years of his own administration.

"Sounds to me like he is back on drugs."

He was on Cavuto this AM and I thought exactly the same thing.

Either that, or his brain damage from drug use must be permanent.

Disconnected commie-lib talking points that didn't even make any sense. Gawd, it was awful.
