Mine Safety and "E. coli conservatism"

Crooks and Liars has a nice piece linking the conservative agenda with mine safety issues. The piece also links to an article by Rick Perlstein in .commonsense, entitled "E. coli conservatism." Perlstein's article provides another glimpse of Bob Murray, the blowhard Utah mine co-owner, whom Perlstein rightly describes as a "poster child" of the E. coli conservatives, i.e., those right-wing bidnessmen and their Rethug enablers who put profit over public safety. (When they attain public office on their no-tax platforms, we refer to them as "bridge collapse conservatives.") Take the time to look at the picture and you'll see, as we noted earlier, the face of Republicanism.

We're still waiting for the brain-dead MSM to remove their collective lips from Murray's arse and start acting like they have some neural activity in their beautiful heads.
