WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday she still plans to block President Bush's nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency in an ongoing dispute over the administration's response to Sept. 11 air-quality concerns.
Clinton, D-N.Y., met with White House environmental official James Connaughton Tuesday to discuss her intention to block a Senate vote on Utah governor Mike Leavitt's nomination to head the EPA.
Clinton has vowed to use a parliamentary procedure known as a "hold" to prevent a full vote on Leavitt until the White House identifies which of its officials directed EPA, without scientific basis, to assure New Yorkers that air pollution from the World Trade Center rubble posed no threat.
She also wants more thorough cleaning and testing of the area surrounding ground zero.

"Hillary Clinton takes politically cost-less steps to ingratiate herself with Dean supporters."
Everyday this peasant,( and she is a PEASANT ) thanks to the sick leftists in New York, gets to open her yap and make mindless statements like this one. It isn't as if anything she says is believable in the least, except when she flies back into confrontational politics and says she'll hold up a vote on someone , among other things this is being kind. She is a Lying Misleading person (???) who's never actually accomplished ANYTHING in her professional life, stuck by her cheating spouse in her never-ending quest for UNLIMITED POWER,so she can turn the USA into a third rate Socialist Nation. You,"The Manipulative Hildebeast", have been given, in P.J. O'Rourkes immortal words: Power Without Any Merit.
Hey America, listen up---People like that are dangerous.Here are a few examples for you to ponder: Adolf Hitler, General Suharto, Nicolai Ceaucescu, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin (OK,OK,at least he was a boxing Champion for 9 years ), Nelson Mandela, your 3rd Way (for show only of course) husband is included too, in this 'off the top of my head' list group of People Who Were Given Power W/Out Any Merit,much to the detriment of each dictators respective country.
