This has to be the euphemism of the century. How do you equate
"giving [conservation] much thought" with selling off federal
land, giving out more oil leases in national forests in 8 years
than all previous presidents combined, gutting the EPA financially
and appointing crooks who have nothing but disdain for the wild things
and would sell off the National Parks and allow developers to destroy
the wilderness. I think Raygun gave conservation a lot of thought. He
thought he would actively attack the wilderness and the agencies
responsible for protecting it.

Bush is rich enough that he can go buy his own private wilderness,
like Raygun. I would be extremely surprised to see this Fascist do
anything for the wilderness.
