Staff at the agency, which announced last week that California's proposed limits were redundant, said the agency's chief went against their expert advice after car executives met Cheney, and a Chrysler executive delivered a letter to the EPA saying why the state should not be allowed to regulate greenhouse gases.
EPA staff members told the Los Angeles Times that the agency's head, the Bush appointee Stephen Johnson, ignored their conclusions and shut himself off from consultation in the month before the announcement.

4. Arnie hocked his soul to the devil when he joined in the conspiracy to |
|
bankrupt California and destoy Grey Davis.
Maybe the stupid bastard will try to get it back. I'm sure by now he's figured out he was used and tossed out like a pathetic $2 whore. The only thing is a real street walking whore has more decency in her little finger than this bunch has in their entire beings. Combined. Squared.
