Whos Washington, DCs Biggest Thanksgiving Turkey?
With Thanksgiving around the corner, it got us wondering: Just who is the biggest turkey in Washington these days? Pick one – yeah, just one – from the list of losers below: Richard Pombo Richard Pombo, the California Congressman who chairs the House Resources Committee? Pombo sponsored the provision that would use the antiquated mining laws to give public lands to developers, virtually free of charge. This from the same man who wants to revive commercial whaling, strip the Endangered Species Act of critical habitat protections and who has even proposed (just a joke, he says, heh heh) selling off national parks to balance the budget. Michael Brown Disgraced former FEMA Director Michael Brown, whose gross incompetence was exposed in a series of email messages he sent during the Hurricane Katrina disaster? Informed by a FEMA employee in New Orleans that the situation was “way past critical,” Brown responded” Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?” Great job, Brow
