R. F. Kennedy Jr. on Bush's Anti-Environmental Cronies
Excerpt of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s comments on the Hannity Show. This text was editted to remove Hannity's interruptions:

"The point is that if you read that in context, is that Americans have to understand that there's a huge difference between free market capitalism, which is great for a democracy, which democratizes our country, that brings efficiencies, and the corporate crony capitalism that has been embraced by this administration, which is as antithetical to democracy in America as it is in Nigeria.

Today, you have polluters running the agencies that are supposed to protect Americans from pollution. The second in command at EPA is a Monsanto lobbyist. The head of the air division at the EPA (search) is a utility lobbyist who for his lifetime has been defending the worst polluters in America. The head of the public lands now, Sean, is a mining industry lobbyist. The head of forest service a timber industry lobbyist and on and on and on.

These people did not enter government for public service. They entered to undermine and subvert the very laws that they're charged with enforcing."

3. Good for Kennedy. He got in a few words before
Hannity interrupted him, I guess.

This is shocking information. I knew some of it, but not all of it.
