I note that Sen. David Vitter (R, LA) has submitted 600 questions to EPA administrator designate Gina McCarthy among over 1,000 submitted by his Repulian colleagues*. Of course, it is an obvious ploy to sidetrack, delay or block her confirmation, adopted because she is clearly qualified and he hasn't a substantive leg to stand on.

Perhaps he could answer this environmental question, submitted by a reader: "If a Louisiana senator ejaculates into a New Orleans hooker and she flushes the semen or a condom containing it, does it significantly diminish water quality in the lower Mississippi?"
