Mark Morford Chron column puts it pretty succinctly:
"This is the great thing about rabid fundamentalism. You really just don't have to give a damn.
Take the environment. I mean, isn't it just a little pointless to care so damn deeply about the air and the soil and the water and the stupid little disposable animals on this silly spinning ball of expendable rock when the Second Coming is imminent and a blood-soaked fire-breathin' Jesus who looks remarkably like Mel Gibson will return very soon to smite the heathens and the gays and the vegetarians and the Francophiles, and who will rescue all those who worship patriarchy and country music and blue-chip oil portfolios? You're goddamn right it is."

You can pick any one issue and it's enough to make any rational person disgusted with the Bush administration. But their environmental policies are absolutely disgraceful. There is no excuse for the kind of crap that he tries to pull. His own brother had to stop him from putting offshore oil platforms off the coast of Florida.
