Rubber Stamp Rick vs. Colorado's earth, air and water

CD7 Democratic candidate Herb Rubenstein swears a reliable source told him that Rubber Stamp Rick O'Donnell is telling Republican donors that environmental regulation should be done at the state level, not the federal level. That position would trigger a massive rollback of environmental protections. Perhaps O'Donnell has confused global warming with Glendale warming.

O'Donnell denies ever having made such a stupid remark. A press release from his campaign, forwarded to me by a third party, states, "Rick O'Donnell believes the federal government plays a significant role in protecting the environment..."

But Herb isn't backing down. This morning, he sent out a release that states:

We have reconfirmed with our source that our statement on O'Donnell's environmental stand was accurately described... O'Donnell should care more for the lands and water that make Colorado great... Say what you mean, Rick. And remember what you say.

I also heard that baby Suri isn't Katie Holmes' baby at all. And that Katie Holmes is really Elisha Cuthbert with a dye job. And that Elisha Cuthbert is really an amalgamation of computer-generated perfect bodyparts. Sigh. One of these days I'm going to chuck the political blogging thing and go write for The Superficial.

Some people prefer the nickname Dirty Rick O'Donnell, a reference to O'Donnell's disregard for campaign finance laws. But I'm sticking with Rubber Stamp Rick for the time being, because he seems to love W. and Cheney so very much.
