Kerry blaming Bush for Kerry’s own bill
In a classic case of the political pot calling the kettle black, Democrat presidential candidate loser John Kerry blasted the Bush administration over failing to be accountable for the disastrous fallout of the use of a fuel additive deemed carcinogenic,
DUHHH
without mentioning he was behind legislation that mandated its widespread use. "Kids can’t make the f***ing MTBE lemonade now. They don’t take f***ing showers with the f***ing MTBE water. They have to buy f***ing bottled water. I am MTBE is the f***ing culprit," Kerry cursed described. "I’m This f***ing administration is trying to prevent f***ing accountability for f***ing MTBE – $50 f***ing billion worth of add-ons in f***ing oil and gas subsidies in the f***ing energy bill; $139 billion of f***ing return-on-investment for $139 million of f***ing lobbying money in f***ing Washington." According to Kerry, one-sixth of the water bodies in the Granite State are polluted by MTBE or other pollution. But what Kerry failed to mention is that he co-sponsored legislation that led to the widespread use of MTBE by oil and gas companies as a relatively inexpensive way to reduce air pollution.
That might hurt his bid for the most powerful person if people found out!!!!!
While MTBE was mandated in fuel sold all over the United States because it was predicted to reduce harmful emissions, leading scientists agree that prediction hasn’t come to fruition. MTBE seems to have little or no effect in reducing carbon monoxide emissions and, in contrast, is actually increasing nitrogen oxides emissions, which contribute to smog. What’s worse is the additive, which has leeched into water supplies in California, Colorado and elsewhere, is believed to be a carcinogen. "If it gets into the water and people drink the water, there is an increased risk of cancer," Dr. Nachman Brautbar, a clinical toxicologist and editor of International Journal of Occupational Medicine, said. In July 1999, an advisory panel warned the Environmental Protection Agency that MTBE constitutes a "risk to our environment and public health" and recommended its use be reduced or eliminated. After being one of the first states to use MTBE, California has banned the additive as of Jan. 1 this year. A ban in Connecticut takes effect New Year’s Day, while New York also is outlawing the additive.
already banned in Colorado
