Karen, W may be pulling the rug out from under Whitman, but I don't think he's pulling the rug out from under Norton. Norton may be smoother than her mentor Watt, but regardless of what her publicist told the Post, I doubt if she has any real philosophical differences with Watt or W for that matter. Here's the Times story: Bush Reverses Vow to Curb Gas Tied to Global Warming nytimes.com The pressure to make the decision came in part from lobbyists for coal companies and utilities dependent on coal and from the conservative wing of the Republican Party, which saw any move to regulate carbon dioxide as an implicit endorsement of the goals of the Kyoto Protocol. . . . A White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, said Mr. Bush had made his decision in consultation with his cabinet. "The president is following through on his commitment to a multipollutant strategy that will significantly reduce pollutants," Mr. McClellan said. "CO2 should not have been included as a pollutant during the campaign. It was a mistake." Whitman is cabinet level, but Norton is cabinet, and Whitman's boss to boot.
