In honor of Christie Whitman's resignation as Dubya's EPA administrator, I present my "Christie Whitman Went To Town," to be sung to "Yankee Doodle." Feel free to sing along, using this midi link.
Christie Whitman went to town
To do George Dubya's bidding.
For power acted like a clown,
Enviro head unfitting.
Those who've smelled New Jersey's stink
Got what they expected.
Water that's unsafe to drink
And air that should be tested.
Arsenic in the water seemed
To be the right solution.
When Bush said standards were too high
Chris gave him absolution.
Those who've smelled New Jersey's stink
Got what they expected.
Water that's unsafe to drink
And air that should be tested.
EPA staff quit in droves
Cause Christie fueled pollution.
Yes, Whitman did a lot for Rove:
Enviro regs dilution.
Those who've smelled New Jersey's stink
Got what they expected.
Water that's unsafe to drink
And air that should be tested.
Christie Whitman came to town,
She said she was a greenie.
But Christie failed to push for bills
That had enviro leaning.
Those who've smelled New Jersey's stink
Got what they expected.
Water that's unsafe to drink
And air that should be tested.
Global warming was her beat,
But Christie wasn't worried.
So what if Bush's policies
Would get us dead and buried?
Those who've smelled New Jersey's stink
Got what they expected.
Water that's unsafe to drink
And air that should be tested.
