21. Remember that Christine Todd Whitman...

Oct 2012

...was the Bush Administration official who declared that the air at "ground zero",immediately after 9/11, was safe.

Her words reassured police, firefighters and other emergency personnel to jump on in--because the water was just fine.

This was false. No doubt, as head of Bush's EPA, she was commanded to do what she did. They gave her a horrible directive.

She's had to watch countless heroes die of cancer, respiratory failure and other conditions directly related to breathing in that toxic air.

Notice that she pretty much went underground after quitting the Bush EPA gig. She's not doing this because she's running for office again.

She's interjecting herself into politics at a very critical time and helping the Democrats--because paybacks are hell.
