Connect The Dirty Dots

Specter’s flip is contemporaneous with another bit of news, says Mr. D @ TvM:

He’s already decided to give you a present: ALBUQUERQUE — In a dramatic move yesterday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdrew the air quality permit it issued last summer for the Desert Rock coal-fired power plant, which is slated to be built on the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners region just southwest of Farmington, New Mexico.The action drew praise from critics of the plant and blistering commentary from its proponents.

So do you suppose that the EPA is going to be providing any support for new coal-fired plants? Or are they just picking on Native Americans? And if memory serves, don’t they mine a whole lot of coal in Pennsylvania? That should help the ol’ reelection campaign.

The whole thing is about Specter’s naked self-interest and political career.

  1. “Spector’s naked self-interest” makes me think of the Ronettes rather than Arlen Specter. It also makes me think that I would trust Phil Spector, murder conviction and all, sooner than I would trust Arlen Specter.

  2. The GOP finally is rid of Specter. It certainly distracts the media from the real issues.
