Can they stoop lower? 

Can they stoop lower?

Now we get word that in the days following 9/11 the White House Council on Environmental Quality successfully pressured the Environmental Protection Agency to downplay the dangers posed by airborne dust and debris following the collapse of the twin towers. It is not clear from the accounts I have read what motivated this pressure, but we can reasonably infer, based on everything we know about this band of thieves in the White House, that it was intended to enrich some member of the power elite.

What is it with these people? Whenever Bush and and the other crooks surrounding him are confronted by a choice between doing something that will benefit the privileged few or benefitting any other group, including the whole rest of humanity, they line up on the side of those who will give them a kickback. Whenever they get to choose between doing something to materially enrich themselves or their friends or doing the right thing, the right thing doesn't even merit consideration. This bible thumping band of right wing wackos is the most morally corrupt cohort to ever befoul the halls of the White House. Spiro Agnew would have been too righteous to make the cut with these folks.
