Yep, the son of:

Udall is no stranger to the world of public service. His father, Morris "Mo" Udall, served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years and ran for the Democratic nomination for President in 1976. His uncle, Stewart, is widely revered for his accomplishments while serving as Secretary of the Interior under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

Thanks!

So his hatred of Americans who try to make a living logging, ranching, farming or associated with the outdoors comes from at least two generations of Rat Udalls.

He should be recused from any hearing as an active card carrying enviral. He can submit questions in writing, and that should be all. If he has any control over the hearing, GW, Cheney, Global Warming, Newt and Richard Nixon will be blamed for these fires and forest conditions that are due to the Enviral agendas.

You won't find much criticism of Udall in Congress - he is well liked by both left and right. He won great respect for his fundraising for Parkinson's Disease (he died from the disease in 1998). He established a Parkinson's Disease Foundation for research. I believe Mort Kondracke is the recipient of one of the Foundation's awards.
