Rolling Stone on Bush the Polluter

I have to say that Rolling Stone has put out some of the best, bravest, and to the point articles criticizing the Bush Administration. My question is, could he and his cronies really be so evil, or is it possible that they just comprise a culture of spoiled brats with too much power who knoweth not what they do? Of course, the theft of our natural resources -- of the very environment that allows us to live and breathe -- for the short-term gain of cronies and contributors, figures prominently. Check out this one, full text at http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/_/id/7605389.
If you happen to be one of those who still sees Bush as some sort of war hero or savior to family values, well, follow the money, baby. The spoiled brat scenario is about the best we can hope for, but with that much power behind his indulgences of his personal friends at the expense of, well, all of humanity and the very environment that supports our existence, sometimes it's hard to believe that Bush isn't the anti-Christ.


A Polluter's Feast

Bush has reversed more environmental progress in the past eight months than Reagan did in a full eight years



What can you say about the environmental record of an administration that seeks to test pesticides on poor children and pregnant women? That argues in court that a dam is part of a salmon's natural environment? That places a timber lobbyist in charge of the national forests and an oil lobbyist in charge of government reports on global warming? That cuts clean-air inspections at oil refineries in half, allows Superfund to go bankrupt and permits the mining industry to pump toxic waste directly into a wild Alaskan lake?

Only this: It's about to get even worse.
