Against All Sense, Susan Hutchison Blames Smoke on Senator Maria Cantwell

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Did you guys know that Democrats are to blame for all the smoke that's been stinging our eyes and molesting the lungs of our asthmatics recently? That's the claim floated by Republican Senate candidate Susan Hutchison in a barely coherent statement released yesterday.

Hutchison first argues without evidence that Senator Maria Cantwell has "fought forest management on federal lands," which is "a disastrous policy that now affects us all." She then slams Cantwell for failing to support a nameless "bi-partisan bill in the Senate that provided forest fire solutions" before tying up the whole package with a mixed metaphor. "We now know that where there’s smoke, there’s mismanagement of forests," Hutchison writes. "For too long, Cantwell and her fellow Seattle liberals have promoted a policy that’s harmed us all."

That's right. Seattle's uh… mismanagement of Canadian fires is why some of us are out here pricing face masks.


Meanwhile, back in the world of truth and facts and reality, scientists widely cite climate change as the root cause of the wildfires smoking out the west. A warmer climate in Washington leads to drier soils, which increases the risk of wildfires. The Environmental Protection Agency predicts that "the climate is likely to more than double the area in the Northwest burned by forest fires during an average year by the end of the 21st century." Fuel accumulation and sprawl increase the devastation of these fires. This is the new normal, as Sydney Brownstone pointed out three years ago.

Though Hutchison claims she will "promote science-based natural resource protections," it must be said that the president she supports with all her heart believes that climate change is a Chinese hoax, and that the party to which she belongs is stacked with climate change deniers and hucksters looking to sell off public lands to the dirtiest bidders.

2. Nope. You got that wrong.

She's clever, like tRump is clever. (Not smart, wise, or intelligent.)

It's just that they have an estimation of the general American public that is lower than your estimation of Harah Suckabee. They are cleverly and skillfully pitching to that level.
