2006 'Dirty Dozen' Are Named (all your heros, the pro pollution pro gas gouging crooks who have sold out their country. And thrown in Bush-Cheney-Rove too.)

The League of Conservation Voters, a nonpartisan environmentalist lobbying organization, today revealed four additions to its 2006 "Dirty Dozen" list. The list is meant to highlight members of Congress that the LCV believes have been compromised due to their involvement with the oil lobby.

LCV President Gene Karpinski stated that the "Dirty Dozen" includes "members with some of the most anti-environmental records in Congress. Each voted to give billions in taxpayer dollars to oil companies, while voting against common sense energy solutions to help our country create a clean energy future."

The LCV's latest additions include Sen. George Allen (R-VA) and Reps. Dan Boren (D-OK), J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) and Deborah Pryce (R-OH).

They join previously announced Sens. Conrad Burns (R-MT), Rick Santorum (R-PA), Jim Talent (R-MO) and Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Katherine Harris (R-FL), Richard Pombo (R-CA), Charles Taylor (R-NC) and Heather Wilson (R-NM).

Karpinski relished in saying that since the creation of the list, "over half of those selected to the Dirty Dozen have subsequently been voted out of office. LCV is proud of its record in defeating Dirty Dozen members, and we plan to build upon our track record this fall."

Perhaps to illustrate, embattled Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) and former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) were categorized separately from the "Dirty Dozen" due to their "decisions not to seek re-election."
