EPA lies to cover up for Bush

Now it turns out that Bush's EPA has been lying to cover up for Bush's waste and corruption.

A report by the Government Accountability Office (Congress's investigative arm) says the EPA has been cooking the books. (The expression "cooking the books" is not to be taken literally - much to the chagrin of Failin' Palin and other library censors.) The EPA's deceptive accounting practices have been covering up the Bush regime's slashing of penalties against polluters.

The EPA says it's justified because it's been going on since before Bush seized power. Oh, so if someone does something wrong, it's OK for everyone else to do it too?

Besides, it wasn't going on nearly to this degree before the Bush years.
