Kerry: I will fix mount St. Helens


Bush ‘in denial’ about volcano, senator charges

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry kept President Bush on the defensive today, telling a Pittsburgh audience that Mr. Bush had allowed the long-dormant volcano Mount St. Helens to erupt on his watch, adding that he would "fix Mount St. Helens once and for all" if elected in November.


"When George Bush was elected president, Mount St. Helens was nothing but a trivia question," Mr. Kerry said. "Well, guess what, folks — it's spewing volcanic gases right now and it's only a matter of time before she blows."


Mr. Kerry said that Mr. Bush had refused to keep an eye on the troubling increase in volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens because he was "totally obsessed with Iraq."


"I've got news for George Bush, " Mr. Kerry said. "Saddam Hussein isn't erupting. Mount St. Helens is erupting."


After accusing Mr. Bush of being "in denial" about "the molten magama stewing inside that scary sucker," Mr. Bush fired back, saying that it would be "sending the wrong message" to say that Mr. St. Helens was erupting.
