Salon interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

[I like him. He’s got the steely Kennedy looks, and the passion in his eyes. -Thomas]

Save the Earth — dump Bush

Nov. 19, 2003 | When Bobby Kennedy Jr. talks about the corporate polluters he has been fighting for nearly 20 years as an environmental lawyer — and their accomplices in the Bush administration — he gets the same steely look in his blue eyes that his father did when he was confronting the moguls of organized crime. “I am angry,” he says, with a Kennedyesque hand chop of the air. “Three of my sons have asthma and I watch them struggle to breathe on bad air days. And it’s just scandalous to me that these polluters can give millions to Bush and suddenly all these environmental regulations are thrown out the window. These guys in Washington are selling huge chunks of America’s natural resources, they have our government up for sale to the highest bidder, and they’re getting away with it scot-free.”

This week Kennedy declares war on this new “enemy within” — the term his father applied to the Mafia lords who were subverting American politics, business and labor — with a passionate, sweeping indictment of the Bush-sanctioned rape of our environment in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. Kennedy lays out in legal-brief detail how, under Bush, the federal agencies supposed to be guarding our air, water and natural resources have been systematically turned over to the industry foxes that are ravaging them. But the tone of his lengthy essay, titled “Crimes Against Nature,” is far from lawyerly. Kennedy’s original subtitle was “Corporate Fascism and the End of Nature.”
