Over the weekend, Virginian newspaper The Daily Press lambasted Rep. Thelma Drake (R-2nd) for her measly LCV lifetime score of 10 percent. Benjamin Cuker, a professor of marine and environmental science at Hampton University, wrote:
"Drake mined $149,710 from the energy/natural resources (mostly oil) industries, motored away with $210,641 from the transportation sector, and harvested $99,975 from agribusiness. These contributors all profit from the environmental degradation that they cause, and they apparently can count on Drake to facilitate their polluting ways."
Don't you just love a scientist who has fun with metaphors?
