He'll Get the Sierra Club Endorsement Anyway

American Spectator reports on Kerry's inventive use of environmental funds to water his Idaho ranch:

After paying for all the landscaping on the Sun Valley property, the Kerrys determined that their water supply was not great enough to keep their vegetation thriving. And so the couple petitioned the state to have a small river redirected so that its waters could be used to keep their garden nice and green. The state complied, leaving taxpayers on the hook for the work done. The state covered the cost ostensibly to ensure that the river's redirection would be environmentally sound.
If Bush did this, there'd be bumper stickers about it. Let's see which news outlet wins the race to report it: NY or LA Times, Washington Post, CNN or Fox. My money's on Fox.
