I Wasn't Even Close

WASHINGTON – AP - Vice President Dick Cheney's office pushed for major deletions in congressional testimony on the public health consequences of climate change, fearing the presentation by a leading health official might make it harder to avoid regulating greenhouse gases, a former EPA officials maintains.

When six pages were cut from testimony on climate change and public health by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last October, the White House insisted the changes were made because of reservations raised by White House advisers about the accuracy of the science.

But Jason K. Burnett, until last month the senior adviser on climate change to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson, says that Cheney's office was deeply involved in getting nearly half of the CDC's original draft testimony removed. End

When I said on television that Dick Cheney was a vulgar, sadistic sub-human, I wasn't even close. If there were an ounce of courage in the United States Congress, the next time this scumbag had a bowel movement would be when he was hung. He not only doesn't care about his country, he doesn't care about our world. Even if one of his daughters is a lesbian, just to be on the safe side, a country with any courage at all would hang everyone on the Cheney family tree. These genes should not be allowed to be passed on.
