What else can you say about the fact that his VP vetters are supposedly looking at Ann Veneman, Bush’s first Secretary of Agriculture?
I don’t give a damn if she now heads UNICEF. As Ag Secretary, and before, she was HUGELY anti-enviro and has never apologized for that.
She was also HUGELY anti-regulatory and protective of Big Ag. Given that we’ve have just pushed through a totally unnecessary four-month odyssey to find the source of the Saintpaul salmonella outbreak – totally unnecessary if we had Canadian or EU-style agricultural product source and distribution regs – we’ve got a big irony alert and a jarring lack of political timing on this issue.
