MOds: This was said on Crossfire, so I hope its ok (language rules)

Begala just mentioned the WP article on Bush wanting to rollback Mercury Stadards: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29807-2003Dec2.html

1. I missed Ticker's response~something about just reducing them

Begala told him that they were in fact repealing them.

"defending polluters you should be ashamed"

2. Just picked up a copy of Southwest Senior here and there's an

article on it about mercury....and how the NE states are suing the EPA. It's included in a suit over pesticides and how the EPA has failed to protect children....they have't met new rules put out in 1996. It mentions Japan and Iraq as example of massive problems with mercury and pesticides in children, and how the air emissions impact the water, etc.
