Likely Interior pick gives lie to McCain as environmentalist

If New Mexico Congressman and about-to-be has-been Senate candidate Steve Pearce, with a lifetime 1 percent rating from League of Conservation Voters, is actually on John McCain’s short list to be Secretary of the Interior, he’s not even close to being “green.”

Steve Pearce is Richard Pombo flying lower on the radar screen.

That said, I’m no fan of the possibility of Obama naming Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer to run Interior.

Not only would we have him promoting clean slightly less dirty coal to the degree the Interior spot would allow, wolves would certainly be in trouble and grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem probably would be, too.
