She apparently didn't read this.

He was talking about one of GreenPeace's co-founders, who supports the idea of nuclear power.

BTW, GP spokesman Jim Riccio is an idiot to call nuclear power the "...evil offspring..." of nuclear weapons. It's the other way around, dummy.
I think this indicates he is doing a great job. If he was useful to the times, he wouldn't be.
"Golly, you know, I can't believe the White House would get that wrong," said Jim Riccio, Greenpeace nuclear policy analyst. "Greenpeace was founded as an anti-nuclear organization, and we have been fighting nuclear weapons and their evil offspring, nuclear power, ever since."
and he might have added:
...and we're also against oil exploration and any other realistic method of finding the energy to fuel The Machine, man. We're all about sitting in an igloo wearing really hip and state-of-the-art cold-weather gear, discussing how industrial technology sucks and all. I mean, how could he get all that wrong?"
This is how you know Tony is good.
I don't recall the mediots complaining this much about the ineffectual Scott McClelland.
My sense is Tony Snow has been a huge success and the reporters don't know what to do about it.
He is correct. The founder of Greenpeace is now pro-nuke.
Snow should have made it clear he was thinking of some EX-Greenpeace types who have come to a bit of sanity since breaking with the organization. Anyone who expresses a hint of rationality on nuclear issues is ex-communicated by the fanatical greens......
In liberal land, that is considered a joke. She is busting Mr. Snow's chops because she can't get info. out of him, and apparently has no sources through which to circumvent him. I love this White House, tight as a drum. Can you imagine the nightmare of a Clinton White House during a time of war? Loose Lips everywhere. Scary. We are blessed indeed to have President Bush at the helm during this critical time. You can disagree with whatever policies you like, but his administrative skills have been stellar.
An elitist snob member of the "In" crowd of elitist press snobs thoughtlessly espousing their groupiethink outside the confines of their cosmetically polluted snobosphere.
On to the next article...
Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, pens an op-ed in the New York Post endorsing the use of nuclear power, an enemy that the greenies fought tooth and nail for decades.
AS co-founder and former leader of Greenpeace, I once opposed nuclear energy. But times have changed, and new facts of compelling importance have emerged - and so my views have changed as well, as have those of a growing number of respected, independent environmentalists around the world.
There are few places where nuclear power makes as much sense or is as important as in New York. Indeed, the state is a microcosm of the challenges America and the world face to have ample, clean and reasonably priced electricity. As such, I strongly support renewal of the license for the Indian Point nuclear plants in Westchester, which provides 30 percent or so of the electricity used in the New York metro area.
Well, congratulations to Mr. Moore for honestly owning-up that environmental alarmism was wrong-headed. I remember when anti-nuclear activists forced the abandonment of the partially-constructed Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in New Hampshire, forcing a billion dollar write-off in a period when a billion dollars was worth a lot more than today.
There are many reasons to support nuclear power, even if you are skeptical about global warming theories. Replacing hydrocarbon-based fuels for electricity generation will reduce demand for oil, coal and natural gas, helping ease price pressures, and reducing the economic clout of the oil exporting extremist regimes that bedevil the world today. Huge advances have occurred in technology since the time nuclear power plant construction was abandoned in the United States.
So how about a little humility on the other alarm bells the greenies are so fond of ringing? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....

Send it to her.
It's a job requirement!
I like Tony Snow and I miss him here on FR. These idiots can bite me.
Only cuz they can't roll him like they could Scott.
She will now. I sent the link to her in an email and suggested a retraction. If not, then she'd be the "Useless One".
LOL Had to double check that it wasn't Jackie Mason who wrote the hit piece on Tony.
Thanks for posting that link.
And no, a second-rate writer like Julie Mason can't be expected to do any homework before she sticks her foot in her mouth.
