Bush's Top Forestry Official Facing Contempt Charges - Jail
Via The Raw Story:
As if it wasn't bad enough for the Bush Administration already, contempt charges are flying in Montana.The Administration's top forestry official has been ordered to explain why the US Forest Service failed to analyze the environmental impact of dropping a fish-killing flame retardant on wildfires -- or face contempt of court.
Agriculture Undersecretary Mark Rey would then face jail unless the Forest Service assented to a court order enjoining the environmental review.
"Noting that Rey had blocked implementation of an earlier review, U.S. District Judge Donald W. Malloy ordered Rey to appear in his court Oct. 15 unless the Forest Service completes the analysis before that time," Associated Press reporter Jeff Barnard wrote.
Forest Service spokesman Joe Walsh told AP the agency was working on the analysis, but couldn't say if the Secretary would meet the deadline; Rey did not respond to requests for comment. Read more...
Heckuva job Rey!
Who cares? Forestry Official? pssh.
:)
Heh. I'm-er-shocked-Yeah, that's it-shocked!
Put a black top hat on this guy and he looks like he should be tying damsels in distress to railroad tracks.
Americans Are Brainwashed @ 2:
I care.
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE!!!!
Mark Rey...Timber Industry whore.
That moustache makes this guy look like evil Cartman or Stan from the alternate universe episode.. South Park.
Mark Rey at sourcewatch.
Really, it tells you all you need to know about the man who's in charge of forestry.
A man who spent 20 years lobbying for the timber industry.
Moose @ 9:
And who will go back to lobbying for the timber industry once Bush commutes his sentence.
Wasn't this fuckwad on "To Catch a Predator?"
Moose @ 9:
..........? Nevermind, I just don't have the friggin' energy to maintain a constant flow of shock and pissed offness anymore.
If Democracy fell in the woods and there was ......
jeez these people are like the zombies. they all follow the doctrine of bush.
there's only two ways to deal with a zombie. one is to find a cure and the other .......
It does get worse,
From an Adm that has had
-Brownie had his FEMA hold back.
-Rummy poured gas on the fire.
-Rice that couldn't read a PDB if the Tower's depended on it.
-Rove Turdblossom) who had to get something out of it politically good for repubs or bad for dems.
-Gonzales that felt the Geneva Conventions are "quaint".
-These are people that if they heard you calling for help. Found you in a 30 foot deep hole. Would toss you a 2 foot rope if they even decided to put the effort into it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Tony Snow that believes his own lies.
-Monica Goodling that only "cross the line" (a lots a bit).
-Cheney who fed the undercover CIA operative to the lions.
-Chertoff that has gut problems we all have to hear about.
-A person in charge of mine safety that personnally had one of the worst mine safety records.
I guess that everyone at the Forest Service will be working overtime for the next couple of months....
I am crossing my fingers for another claim of Executive Privilege, which is sure to be almost as surprising as allowing it.
myiq2xu @ 11:
No, I think that was Mark Foley. I think this is the guy who after soliciting prostitutes with David Vitter hangs out in the park wearing a raincoat flashing little girls.
So why aren't these Bush cowboys not riding into the sunset like Rove.?
If they did leave tospend more time with Cavid Vitter's hooker, the replacement idiot croney would not be able to get situated in his new position before it was time for Bush's Adm to go home and clear Brush...........
Planet killing bastards!
Robt @ 19:
Because they are criminal parasitic thugs on the body politic who have no common decency or love of country.
Moose @ 9:
Yep, another Bush fox "guarding" the chicken house. Who would've imagined?
SHO.
KER.
Now all we have to do is follow the money. Check his bank accounts, find out who paid him to look the other way so that whoever owned this crapola fire retardant could grab the contract for providing it.
Heh.
Should have been a letter "C" in my KER. My outrage made me misspell it!!!
:)
It should be clear by now: Conservatism and Libertarianism are anti-social pathologies masked as political ideologies. These are not normal people who are capable of the most basic human qualities of empathy, compassion and social responsibility who care not at all about how their actions effect the lives and welfare of others. Even worse, they delight in taking advantage of and harming others, lying, cheating and the thrill of getting away with it. For them, life is a suckers game and they view themselves as superior to and entitled to take advantage of those who work hard and play by the rules.
Whenever someone tells you: "It's just business" to rationalize their actions, run the other way.
Snowball @ 25:
I'd prefer to give them a mouthful of teeth, but I agree with your premise:
These people are dangerous lunatics.
Bonkers @ 26:
(not to mention the lil' crybabies would just sue me, so ok: WE RUN AWAY!)
:lol:
tribe @ 6:
Hey Dim Son cannot get proper tree advice if his national forestry officials fear they may one day be put under oath.
Mark Rey looks like David Horowitz
Another scene from the Bush Administration: "Forrest Hump"
Schlozman class asshole. Another one of those lumpy bears that bushco seems to like so much. I'm betting he has a high squeaky voice like the rest too. A real lumberjack this one.
This one just dumbfounds me. Why block the assessment? What is the logic here?
here we go again.......damn....and the hits just keep on coming...We'll be hearing things about this admin for the next 5 years...maybe more.Which will be good.............for the next Pres.Who ever it is.
i am certain the cattle ranchers are behind this. remember what they did to the sheep herders? the sheep herders???
...and featuring today's scandal de jour, the bush crime family is happy to present, "take your pick...."
neil @ 16:
Highly unlikely, considering the Bush Administration is implementing its "Green Plan" for the Forest Service where 75 percent of Forest Service employees are to be gone by 2009. That way, the Forest Service can be dissolved and its 190 plus million acres sold to the timber countries.
Don't believe me? Then look at the FY2008 proposed budgets from the House and Senate. You will find a clause specifically stopping the Bush Administration from doing this (not that Bush will abide by the law). Still don't believe me? Find a friendly Forest Service employee willing to provide you with a copy of the "Green Plan." It's readily available to all Forest Service employees.
So you know, the esteemed Mr. Rey showed up (in a college town of northern Colorado) and basically told the entire staff of what amounts to the CDC of livestock and wildlife research branch (Aphis) of the government something to the effect of that, "you are employees of the President, you do what the President directs you to do, EVEN if you disagree." Of course this was during the whole mad cow scare two to three years ago. Positive, then Negative, then Positive again, then no where else to be heard from again....
And here is Rey saying, "drink the kool-aid, drink the kool-aid, or else..."
Industrial ground beef its what makes your brain turn to cottage cheese...
They also need to explain why they demand permits to use FEDERAL LAND that belongs to the people. Freedom to peaceably assemble is a right on public land.
He looks like Cheney except with a beard and hair. He must be the Cheney from that evil alternate universe from Star Trek... you know, good Cheney.
Space Coyote @ 39:
He looks like he just spanked a little school girl.
Is the fires at Santa Barbara a false flag too?
Our nation has been following their mother - the papacy orders.
I'm actually kind of surprised, I would have thought Mark Rey would have been an excellent protector of our nation's forests...
Take another look at that picture of "Dead Eyes McSkunkyChin" and tell me you wouldn't run screaming for your mommy if you ran into this guy in the woods. Especially if he winked at you.
Privatize.
Deregulate.
Eliminate the competition.
What they can't destroy with the signing of a bill they undermine through incompetence.
Seen enough?
I can smell a claim of national tree security executive privilege coming. HILARIOUS
Classic pedophile facial hair.
Is there nothing the Bush administration touches that they do not corrupt?
The really sad part is that it is so pervasive, in every nook and cranny of the Bush crime syndicate, that most of these shitheads will probably never be prosecuted. They'll just go on to plush industry consulting jobs or political pundits, robbing the public and harming the environment. And America becomes a third rate country.
Impeach them all. Prosecute them all. Jail them all.
What a huge surprise. A corrupt, incompetent crony running the department into the ground for his buddy shrub. Do you suppose the dippy deciderer will pardon this waste of skin too?
Another good buddy of Dumbya that is an uncaring, environmental ignorant bastard ,that wasn't competent either for the job.
[...] More [...]
Ruthless People @ 21:
==If I was to believe that the criminal element is staying. I would have to excuse Rove by that standard and I am not prepared to do so.
If a forestry official in the big house gets buggered, and there's no one there to hear it, does he cry out, "Ooh do me like a drunken sailor on shore leave!"?
How come all of the corrupt politicians turn out to be Republican?
