EPA Statement on Jon Cannon
Release date: 03/25/2009

(Washington, D.C. – March 25, 2009) Jon Cannon, nominee for Deputy U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, released the following statement:

It makes me smile to think that he is realising his administration is such a train wreck he can't even get his strongest supporters to work in it.

I'm starting to think that maybe it's L'il 'O that shouldn't have taken the job and should have withdrawn HIS name.

OK, I lied...I didn't just "start" thinking that.
