Clinton Turned Earth Day Into April Fool's Day.

by Randy Barker

You actually have to hand it to Bill Clinton. Come Earth Day, he had to be
laughing his prodigious butt off. Many of the executive orders he signed at
the end of his toxic reign were actually environmental public relations land
mines set to go off April 22. The decree about arsenic levels in water is
probably the biggest impractical joke. The levels of naturally occurring
arsenic that were safe enough for Clinton for eight years suddenly became
hazardous three days before his term ended. And federal lands in the West
that contain needed natural gas reserves suddenly became national monuments where no roads could be built, let alone natural gas being drilled. Clinton knew all along that George W wasn't going to let those decrees stand. Of course, Clinton's willing accomplices in the Liberal Media went along with the joke, and denounced Dubya as the love child of James Watt, former Secretary of The Interior and tree-hugger's whipping boy. (Who needs the new liberal BS Network of Barbara Streisand?) Right before Earth Day, Joe Lieberman was on Liberal TV whining that Bush's arsenic levels in water for the last 100 days is killing people.(Wonder how many died in the previous eight years?) Environmental bombs were bursting. That's probably why Paul McCartney got a sympathetic audience with Colin Powell to talk about land mines.

Maybe George W can find a suitable retaliatory joke to play on Clinton. One
possibly putting his half-wit half-brother in jail. Wouldn't that be a knee-slapper?
