There's one thing in particular about George W. Bush's re-election that bugs Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy believes most Americans, Republicans as well as Democrats, are environmentalists who support strong laws that protect nature. But the majority of voters in November selected a president that Kennedy considers the single biggest hazard to the environment.
If the American people are so firmly behind the environment and environmental protections, why did they re-elect Bush?
Kennedy, who is speaking at the Wheeler Opera House today at 5:30 p.m., explained that paradox when reached on his cell phone while he rode the Ruthie's chairlift on Aspen Mountain yesterday.
He placed a big share of the blame for Bush's re-election squarely on the shoulders of the media.The rest is here:
