Bush hates frogs

Rapper Kanye West went on a BDS rant during a live fundraiser for the victims of Hurricane Katrina with his famous declaration that “George Bush hates black people.”

Not to be outdone, Kieran Suckling (her actual name, no kidding), policy director for the Center for Biological Diversity, informs us that George Bush hates frogs, too.

Is there no limit to this man’s hatred? Heh™. source

Once plentiful across the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi gopher frog has dwindled down to just a few hundred specimens in three south Mississippi ponds.

A lawsuit filed this month in federal court says the gopher frog and four other species in danger of extinction are the victims of political corruption. The suit, filed by the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity, alleges Bush administration appointees to the Department of Interior overruled the opinions of scientists in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and failed to provide protection and habitat for the near-extinct animals.

[Will] Hodges said the Mississippi gopher frog may be “fairly obscure,” but he said that is no reason to let the species go extinct.
“If we concede on the gopher frog, what is the next species? … you have to draw a line somewhere.”

Director Suckling and Hodges, whose official title is “Biodiversity Advocate,” (how does one get a gig like that?) forgot to mention one rather interesting detail. The count of gopher frogs has increased in recent years. Five years ago, fewer than 100 adult gopher frogs were known to exist. The headline could have read, “frog population triples in 5 years,” but then all of that BDS would have just gone to waste.
