Question Earthority!

“Harry Reid is right. Coal does make us sick. It’s not even debatable. It’s just the truth. The fact that Republicans think they can use this fact against Democrats tells me just how out of touch they are with the new realities of American politics. The only question is whether the McCain campaign will turn out to be equally misguided. The YouTube video of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appearing on the FOX Business Channel saying that ‘coal makes us sick’ is garnering huge numbers of hits, with some help from Matt Drudge, who put the link to it on his DrudgeReport. Republicans are reportedly sending the video around to try to make the point that Democrats are hopelessly out of touch with the need to produce more, and less expensive, fuel. If only it were twenty years ago. Or maybe thirty. It would work like a charm.” (07/02/08)
