White House Refused To Open Unwelcome EPA E-Mail
epfreed writes "The White House lost a case in the Supreme Court about the need for the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. So the EPA made new rule. And now the NYTimes reports that the White House did not want to get these new rules from the EPA about greenhouse gases. So they did not open the email."
i didn't want to rtfa. so i didn't click on the link.
Looks like I won't be opening many work emails from now on. Those emails from my bank might go unread, too. It's about time they showed some leadership!
A Bush official, with fingers in his ears, was quoted as saying: "Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! I can't hear you! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! ...."

Awesome! So it's cool if I just leave all that important-looking IRS mail in an unopened pile by the door, right?

I think it is like an ostrich with his head in the sand. Except the ostrich is "Dubya", and the sand that he has his head in is really his ass. Judging by these and other events, he likes the view in there.
No matter how bad this looks on the Bush adminstration, they just wont open the emails about not opening emails. They'll never know.
Maybe the EPA shouldn't have mentioned V1agra in the subject...

Well, kinda. If the government doesn't publish or provide any way to read the rules, you'd be off the hook. Otherwise, you just violated Catch-22... oh, I don't have to show it to you.
Your ad here. Ask me how!
It's a special character encoding. It's only ö when you're not looking at it.
Are you suggesting the govt would voluntarily hold themselves to the same legal standards as the rest of us?

After all, didn't a lot of people vote for Bush because they wanted a president who says what he means and means what he says?
I don't recall ever hearing Bush say "Fuck you!" to me personally. But if Bush bush says what he means and does what he says, he MUST have said it at some point!
Those are adjusted dollars from after your current dollar tanks in 2011.
I don't care who is the president, I don't want this it is bad for everybody.
"Bush did it so it must be ok."
That's the new bar? we're screwed.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
When informed that the public had wanted him to "keep his hands *off* the interns, not *of* the interns", President Bush exclaimed, "What? Well no wonder Mark Foley resigned but I've only got a 25% approval rating!".
Vice President Dick Cheney blamed the mix-up on a few bad Apples (which lacked the grammar correction of Office XP), and reluctantly accepted the resignation of White House Stenographer Phil "Lefty" Johnson after the request for an independent inquiry was voted down by a show of hands.
Heaven forbid the White House read a letter containing a mysterious white substance known as "The Polar Ice Caps". They won't read letters about how global warming is causing climate change, but they will read the letters that have anthrax in them.
The Rapture is NOT an exit strategy.
