Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is blaming Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, along with President Bush, for causing Hurricane Katrina.
"As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippis Gulf Coast, its worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bushs 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 presidents 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 its 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 Barbours memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings for the Mississippi coast."
Hi - the polar ice caps are just displaced frozen water - the same amount that's always been on earth ... example, take a glass and fill it with ice, then add water until the ice floats and the water is even with the rim. What happens when the ice melts? Same thing globally ....

You'd think the little jerk would have the class to keep his pie hole shut at least until the bodies had been buried...or even counted. RFK Jr's comments are worse than foolish, worse than merely factually unsound. They are insensitive, ill-timed and in bad taste.
This guy must have drank his braincells away early in life.
I'll be honest, I'm amazed more leftists haven't tried to blame this on Bush. It would be so typical.
Which PROVES he is a massive fraud ,just like the rest of them. Kennedys yUCK
Just let the idiotic Dumrats keep talking like this. They only make themselves look worse and worse.
Please don't romanticize the Kennedys. His father was corrupt AG and his grandfather was a rum running mobster.
I got one for you: "Son, I say, son! I hear ya choppin', but I don't see no chips a flyin'!"
Oh yes, it's Not In My Backyard for the socialist millionaires whose second home (or maybe it's their third home, or even fourth...) is on the Islands or the Cape.
They used to run ads on Boston TV against the project.
That wind farm fiasco was hilarious.
"Nice boy, but about as sharp as a bowling ball"
"I'm madder than Jesse Jackson at the airport answering the white courtesy phone"

You should reread my post. There is no romantizing going on. Just a declaration that he is weak in the bloodline.
Bricks short of a load....that sort of thing.
The Kennedy family is irrelevant. It's a myth.
RFK Jr. is such a maroon!
PFUI, pure flummery.
?For They That Sow the Wind Shall Reap the Whirlwind?.
Well, I guess that explains the so-called "Kennedy Curse"
They reaped what THEY sowed.
If it weren't for Papa Kennedy's weath built on Bootlegg boose, mafia connections and Stock fraud, the kKennedy's would be the worst trailer park trash in the country.
An "Trust Fund" baby for sure.
