This is a knucklehead alert!!!

These are the very same knuckleheads that pitched a hissy fit when President Bush proposed a change in the arsenic PPM (parts per million) allowed in drinking water, when it was actually a reduction in the PPM that Clinton had allowed to be raised just before he left office!

Nothing to see here folks.....move along. 

People be ashamed having voted for a communist?

Ph.D. analytical chemist here.  I actually went to a symposium put on by Dionex, the leader in analytical instrumentation needed to analyze for perchlorate.  Among my thoughts in no particular order:

1.  The EPA went from having absolutely no regulation of perchlorate to having a ridiculously tight specification needing a fairly high level of sophistication beyond the normal capabilities of ion chromatography (can't recall the specs. but it is certain an involved method of analysis).

2.  The evidence for regulating perchlorates at all, let alone such a tight level, is pretty flimsy.  I'm inclined to think that someone lobbying the EPA with a direct financial benefit is behind all this.

3.  Kudos to Bush for telling them to F-off.

Contessa the Clueless...

Drink plenty of water from the tap gal, along with your buddies at msnbc....after-all Bush is trying to poison us all again...after-all proof is in the pudding so to speak...besides that, those plastic bottles you get your non-poisonous water from are bad, very bad for the environment ...or haven't you all heard that yet, you brainiac you. 

Golly gee, silly Pres. Bush has been keeping us save from terrorists here so far since 9-11, which means nothing to twits like Brewer, who stuttered before even using the word  perchlorate...yet we had ex-Prez Clinton who pardoned terrorists, including Rich at the last minute...all for a personal agenda for Hill and he.

...and we all know what he didn't do the years beforehand. 

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

If Finkelstein is going to suggest that Brewer may have relied "on articles like this one from an environmental activist group," he should look closely enough at the  article he links to recognize that it is from a science blog at "Wired" magazine, not an "environmental activist group."

I wonder if this woman is aware that every community has it's own standards for the public drinking water it produces? 

Here's what she is omitting in her "report;" Even if the EPA doesn't see the need to add additional regulations to an all ready over regulated country, each community is STILL free to increase the standards as they see fit. Since each community has it's own, separate, sources (for the most part), and since each community has it's own supply systems, it makes perfect sense that each community should be free to set their own standards for the water they supply.

Instead of this woman asking if Bush should be ashamed, we should ask HER if she's ashamed at her complete lack of objectivity, and her lack of knowledge on local drinking water standards and what that actually means.

Obama: My job is above my pay grade

For a large segment of the media, President Bush should be ashamed if it rains during a baseball game. Or if the sun comes up. Or if he's breathing. Nothing new here.

Oh, except maybe that Clinton's "last-minute pardons" are now, finally, a "scandal."

'Bout frickin' time.
