WASHINGTON - Former New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman is stepping down after 21/2 tumultuous years running the Environmental Protection Agency, saying family concerns - not political differences with President Bush - convinced her that it was time to go.

Unfortunately, the only "open space" is between her ears.
".....a moderate former governor...."
Liberal newspeak for a RINO.
"Bush called her "a trusted friend and adviser..."
I hope he's just mouthing pious platitudes. Chrissie is an elitist limousine liberal, a "Rockefeller Republican" and a perfect example of why Republicna philosophies can never be implemented in the Garden State - too many rich liberals like her in the Republican Party there who care only for protecting their tax dollars, while practising extreme social liberalism - she gave New Jersey Deborah Poritz, Deborah Poritz gave the Nation - FRANK LAUTENBERG!!!
Unconstitutional agency.
What she did is great for environmentalists and Democrats wanting to be President. When someone is nominated to take her place, that person is going to give opponents a chance to roll the administration over the coals on environmental issues and build a following an audience.
can these people be more "gay" than this?
