Update II, VMars style -- Apparently the Senate GOP took a laxative and unclenched their science hating sphincters.  Jackson got confirmed unanimously along with a few others.

Update, VMars style -- Looks like TPM screwed the pooch on this one and they were wrong about Barrasso -- and also wrong about Inhofe who they hadn't even mentioned.  It's some other ignorant science hater who is blocking the first competent EPA head from New Jersey.

Talking Points Memo determines that Senator John Barrasso, Science-Denier of Wyoming, is at least one of the buffoons putting a hold on the nomination of New Jersey's Lisa Jackson to head the EPA.

Apparently Wyoming's leading luminary is afraid that Jackson's efforts to stave off global warming will destroy Wyoming's beef industry.  You know, 'cause the methane farts of the cows and everything.
