Do Kennedy family activists all have the same ghostwriter? Another Kennedy has come out with the charge that the Bush administration is "poisoning” America.
In early September, NewsMax revealed that Sen. Ted Kennedy had sent out a letter seeking contributions for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee claiming that Republicans have "poisoned our air and water by repealing key provisions of our hard-won environmental protection laws.”
Now Robert F. Kennedy Jr., senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, has sent out a letter shrilly warning that "the Bush White House is quietly putting radical new policies in place that will let its corporate cronies poison our air, foul our water and devastate our wildlands for decades to come.”
The letter accuses the Bush administration of wanting to "speed up oil and gas drilling in some of America’s most sensitive and irreplaceable ecosystems,” and "open all 155 of our national forests to logging.”
Kennedy charges that the White House is allowing corporations to "strangle our democracy,” and even ties his children’s asthma to oil company interests.
"Three of my kids – and millions of others – already struggle to breath on bad air days because they suffer from asthma. Should our children suffer even more to improve ExxonMobil’s bottom line?”
An accompanying letter from NRDC president John H. Adams, after touting the group’s success in saving "the rainforest home of the rare, white Spirit Bear from logging,” goes on to say that "you and I will pay with more heart attacks, more asthma attacks, more hospitalizations and more premature deaths” if Bush’s policies are adopted.
The mailing asks recipients to sign a petition to President Bush and another to the Senate protesting the administration’s "plans to weaken our environmental safeguards,” and seeking contributions.
Those contributing $10 or more will receive a "gray wolf tote bag.”
We need a new plan. Now where is my copy of Plan B?
Please ignore the redundancies, I couldn't help myself.
Sen. Kennedy couldn't close an umbrella.
"Three of my kids – and millions of others – already struggle to breath on bad air days because they suffer from asthma."
Wow! Three children w/ asthma! Ok then. No more fuel for any of us!
And if it is the same ghostwriter, is it the ghost of Mary Jo Kopechne or Marilyn Monroe, by any chance?
Fine,Mr Kennedy...but then,Mary Jo saw water in your uncle's
Oldsmobile.
The democrat party is dying; therrefore, someone must be poisoning it.
Teddy only slams B-12 but does has a massive thirst.

That strange, unidentifiable thing about the Bush administration you call "poison"...
No wonder you don't recognize it. It's called...
"Truth...!"
That blowhard Kennedy is using up all the oxygen!
What is the deal with liberals and "tote bags"? It seems they're giving them, away with everything but a new bank account.
They are jealous of my Bush/Cheney tote bag.
Can we open up drilling in Hyannisport?
We'd no doubt strike scotch at under 100 feet.
The Kennedy men haven't had an original thought in 30 years.
Makes it easier for them to carry their "Little Red Book"s around...
Rbt Kennedy spent most of his time getting heating oil to poor people. In my opinion, heating oil should be a thing of the past, but he opposes the alternatives. A true Luddite lawyer standing in the way of progress.
Hey, Teddy - driving a car into the water causes pollution.
I'd even give them the 10 bucks if they truly used a Grey Wolf in making their tote bags.
Why did Mary Jo have to struggle to breathe when your Uncle drove her off the bridge?
I think it's a reference to their golden reporterette, Ninny Totenberg?
Sensitive alright. Its a frikkin iceburg. The greens even think Death Vally is sensitive.
