Murkowski, Greenpeace exchange barbs over EPA

Link: Greenwire via the N.Y. Times A new Greenpeace Web site spoofing the eHarmony.com matchmaking service includes a video linking Sen. Lisa Murkowski to a corporate lobbyist who says their relationship is "magical." The snark is aimed at Murkowski's attempts to block the Environmental Protection Agency from limiting greenhouse gas emissions. A Murkowski spokesman hit back Thursday, accusing her environmentalist critics of resorting to "personal attack when they can't win on the merits." "Rather than have a legitimate debate about the policy, they launch a smear campaign," Robert Dillon said. The National Wildlife Federation Action Fund and the Friends of the Earth Action Fund have aired radio ads in Alaska critical of Murkowski. Another recent Greenpeace spoof resembles the USA Today newspaper and targets the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council with headlines like "Huge area too deep to bottom trawl protected from bottom trawling."
