Bye bye, Gale. You will not be missed.

Most likely the worst Interior Secretary we have had.

"

Under her watch, the Interior Department stripped protection from areas previously managed as wilderness, opened forests to increased logging, reopened Yellowstone National Park to snowmobiles and urged federal land managers to speed up drilling for gas on public land.

Norton called the work “cooperative conservation,” which included partnerships with landowners and developers as opposed to regulations.

She also was the administration’s biggest advocate for opening part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on Alaska’s North Slope to oil drilling. Attempts to get Congress to do that have so far failed. "

1. What a tired old think-tank HO

Skanky, lying corporate cow.

Piss off, Gale.

[Divernan]

5. She was hunting next 2 Dick & he swung his shotgun around too quickly.

But it was OK, cause she immediately apologized and told the ER she walked into a door.

2. Rot in hell, bitch!

Norton is just a whore for the Repugs. She is one of the environment's worst enemies.

[Quantess]

3. stepping down was probably the best thing she's ever done.

What happened to her nose? Looks like it's been broken a few times.

[Hand]

12. Wounded in the line of duty...

...ramming the ugly thing up the back channel of every oil company, clearcutter, strip miner, and mercenary operation that wanted a share of the dwindling booty.

Norton was and is the American environment's worst enemy--her truly evil nature was obscured only by the worse extremes of Chimpy's other cabinet members. Jail time is the least she deserves; she the James Watt who didn't get caught early enough. :nuke:

[allalone]

10. don't let the door hit you on the way out

isn't it ironic that she says she and her husband want to go spend their time in the mountains of the west that they love and by the way spent most of her time trying to destroy. Gosh, what nature lovers are they.

[montana500]

Ugly is, is ugly does!
