Sen. Clinton to Block Bush EPA Nominee

...Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday she planned to block President Bush's nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency over an internal report saying the EPA misled New Yorkers about health risks after the World Trade Center attack.
In a telephone interview, Clinton told The Associated Press she would place a hold on the nomination of Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, a procedural move that would prevent the full Senate from voting on his confirmation, though it does not stop committee hearings.
``This is an effort to get the administration that he wants to join to take responsibility,'' she said...


The article goes on to quote Hillary, "It not only has to do with the health and safety of the people I represent. It has to do with the credibility and trust of this entire government.''

"Credibility" and "Trust"? From a Clinton??
