Something Is Fishy About Bush's Environmental Posturing

Little Rock - The Bush Administration just announced that it will roll back Clinton Era controls on mercury pollution and will give power plants up to 15 years to meet the weakened standards. This announcement comes just one week after the FDA and the EPA warned pregnant women and children against consuming tuna because of high mercury levels, which can cause birth defects and brain damage in children.

"American families can't wait until 2018 for protection against hazardous pollutants like mercury," Wes Clark insisted. "Bush warned moms and kids not to eat tuna because of elevated mercury levels. But then he dilutes pollution protections, allowing more mercury to be spewed into the air moms and kids breathe. Sounds pretty fishy to me."

Wes Clark's Clean Air Plan will reduce air pollution, and prevent more than 100,000 premature deaths through the year 2020, by toughening pollution standards and putting the environmental cop back on the beat."

1. Glad to see General Clark criticizing BushCo's trashing of the planet.
And his consistent use of a metaphor.
