    Those looking for Reaganesque cynical manipulation

    should look no further than tomorrow's Senate Confirmation hearing on Lisa Jackson for EPA Administrator.

    Jackson will be accompanied by members of the Ramapough indian community from north jersey. See:

    Ramapough environmental activist invited to Washington

    http://www.northjersey.com/environment/Environmental_activist.html

    Their appearance will provide jackson lots of cover from a terrible record on toxic site cleanup in NJ - and the fact that a Park Ranger under Jackson shot and killed an Ramapough for riding an ATV on state parkland.

    Then there is the US Supreme Court "Massachusetts v. US" global warming case - maybe the lawyers here could expose how Jackson has failed to regulate in NJ, which amounts to the same Bush policy denounced by all.

    We need a Glennzilla on the environmental beat!
