Speaking at Virginia Tech, the son of a 1960s Democratic icon said the nation is living a "science-fiction nightmare."
BLACKSBURG -- The crowd that nearly filled Virginia Tech's 3,000-seat Burruss Hall Auditorium to hear environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speak probably had an idea about what he thought of the Bush administration before he took the podium.

But early on in a rambling speech Monday night that lasted more than an hour, [Kennedy] made it clear that he wasn't critical of Bush because of his political affiliation.
He was critical of him, he said, because Bush has implemented policies and circumvented the law in order to enrich his donors at the expense of thousands of lives and America's environmental future.
"You can't talk honestly about the environment today ... without being critical of the president," he said.

Kennedy, whose speech was titled "Our Environmental Destiny," is a member of several national environmental organizations.

While he pointed out good work and sound perspectives from past Republican and Democratic presidents Monday, he labeled the Bush administration the worst in history when it comes to the environment. To make his point he outlined a litany of what he sees as Bush's offenses -- from rolling back environmental regulations to dropping lawsuits to naming lobbyists for oil, timber and utility companies to head federal organizations designed to curb environmental abuse.
But Kennedy's attacks weren't reserved for Bush. He criticized what he called a "negligent and indolent press" for perpetuating the idea that there's still a debate about global warming despite overwhelming scientific evidence that it is real. He went after scientists -- he called them "biostitutes" -- hired by big oil and big coal who churned out reports for pay after decades of not publishing anything.

"Al Gore - 200,000 sq. foot mansion"
20,000 not 200,000. Still larger by 10 of the average American home.
The true "Kennedy Curse" is the Kennedys themselves..
It's so great that the kennedys all live in tents to insure that they have no part in the faux demise.
Heroine's a hell of a drug.
What a guy, denies his constituents tropical beach front property. OK, they will all be dead when it arrives. Then, he genuflects to a dictator to get them heating oil.
Who is RFK????
I could swear Mark Levin said 200,000 sq. ft. last night.
But I could be wrong.
He also said Bush used "green technology" to weather proof his home while the Global Warming Freak continues to use fossil fuels.
Bush has done rational things about the enviornment that libs stuck on page one are not even smart enough to think up.
That's probably Patrick Kennedy, US Rep. from RI.
The air is cleaner than any time in American history. These people are just nuts.
Although I have no personal recollection I'd be willing to bet that Patches Kennedy (that's what a Boston talk host and columnist calls him) is opposed to the wind farm in Nantucket Sound.
However,I clearly recall Bobby Kennedy Jr having spoken against it...just as his uncle,Kerry,Cronkite,Carly Simon and many other "beautiful people" who own property on Cape Cod,Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard have done.
My God, how long must we be subjected to the spawn of that evil Joe Kennedy. That family is EVIL personified.
"Hollywood had to wait until the day after handing Gore his Oscar to read about the hypocrisy of how the energy to run his 8-bedroom mansion costs 20 times the average American home. But Nine Facts About Climate Change author Ray Evans told The Age in an interview a month ago that Gore's film is "bullshit from beginning to end".
There is one key and very evil person behind the latest Global Warming BS.
That person is George $oreA$$!. He is betting on global warming legislation with his hedge funds, and he is probably financing Al Gore and the other Global Warming alarmists in the Congress and across this country.

Thanks Dave. I'm not a bit surprised. We've got to get the word out and I'm trying to do so by contacting a local TV station regarding this five-state greenhouse emissions crap that the Gov's are BS'ing about.
