Blame The Tree-hugging Dirt Worshippers!

Via Josh Marshall, we find a newspaper in Mississippi claiming to have acquired evidence that the Bush administration is looking to blame environmental activist groups for the New Orleans flood.

The Clarion-Ledger has obtained a copy of an internal e-mail the U.S. Department of Justice sent out this week to various U.S. attorneys' offices: "Has your district defended any cases on behalf of the (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers against claims brought by environmental groups seeking to block or otherwise impede the Corps work on the levees protecting New Orleans? If so, please describe the case and the outcome of the litigation."

Finally! The tree-hugging dirt-worshipping hippie fanatics are exposed! They've been plotting the wholesale destruction of American cities for decades, and now there's a chance of finally catching them in the act! This is a great fscking day!

I hope the Rovians are successful with this line of attack. If they successfully pin the blame for the flood of New Orleans on environmental groups, then Americans will finally be forced to reckon with the awesome power of Greenpeace!

Quake in fear, America! We environmentalists can strike at any time, anywhere, with hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes— the full array of Nature's wrath! Come to heel or we will DESTROY YOU ALL!
