EPA head under Nixon and Ford endorses Kerry

Russell Train is so disappointed in President Bush's environmental record that the staunch Republican, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's second leader 30 years ago, is casting his vote in November for Democrat John Kerry.

Train, 84, EPA administrator under Presidents Nixon and Ford from 1973 ot 77, was in Madison Tuesday in support of Environment2004, an organization trying to end what it calls the anti-environmental agenda of the Bush administration...

1. If Nixon's men are jumping ship, then * has really....

gone over the edge. Think about it: Nixon was a bastard and people who were associated with him want out of the party too. I'm sure Mr. Train is a goo man, but still it is nice to see the S.S Bushco sink.

2. Well, Nixon's environmental record

was far, far better than the current mess we're stuck with.

3. Nixon's environmental record

was very good. Some would argue it was as good as Clinton.

4. If that many known pubs are leaving, How many unknowns are jumping out?
