WASHINGTON (AP) - A Republican senator is blocking the nomination of a top Environmental Protection Agency official over what he calls a flawed study of the climate bill recently passed in the House. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, said Wednesday that the hold is unrelated to the qualifications of Robert Perciasepe, nominated to become the EPA's deputy administrator. Voinovich said the EPA analysis of the House climate bill fails to thoroughly review its impact on the economy.

Wow. The first time I ever recall this guy showing an inkling of a spine in close to 10 years in the senate.

Too bad his career didn’t display this sort of political courage more often.

They may be softer on him because he is not running for reelection. I guess we will see.

Voinovich represents Ohio, not conservatives.

Ohio makes automobiles and uses coal for electicity hence his distaste for global warming.

Also, Columbus is having its coolest July in recorded history and cooler by a long shot. This weekend highs will be about 70 and lows in the 50’s.

Hey! This could be big - if the pubbies grow a set!

We’ve seen bankers, auto execs, oil execs, energy execs, many other execs in front of the congress kleig lights.

So let’s put algore and his supporters on one side of the room; and on the other side the scientists against manmade warming, and then try to let the truth out to the shepple.

Shepple rule!

Surely the Communist Sherrod Brown is going to vote for the Cap and Trade? How did the Ohio House Dems vote on it?
