BUSH HAILS HIS ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD ON EARTH DAY WITHOUT LAUGHING EVEN ONCE

He didn't cough or display odd symptoms either, like the kids who live next to his coal plants; but then he and his family don't live anywhere near the plume of one of those mercury polluting coal-fired plants he took the filters off of... bet there's no exploratory drilling in those salt marshes he lives next to, either... though if the price is right, I bet he'll include those in his environmental record too...

"Bush has given the OK to allow mining companies to dump waste directly into waterways; destroy over 20 million acres of wetlands; pump untreated sewage directly into our nation's rivers, lakes and other waters; and pollute with impunity because they don't enforce the law--with the result that 60 percent of industrial facilities nationwide are now in violation of Clean Water Act discharge limits."
