A new online game pokes fun at the Bush administration's choice to head the nation's antipollution agency, Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt.
In the game, the Environmental Protection Agency nominee drops bags of money for developers and polluters to catch in a gas-guzzling Hummer SUV, steered with the computer's arrow keys. <http://www.mikeleavitt.org/game/>

On Wednesday, the Bush administration lent the power of the White House to the cause. It allowed Utah's Republican governor to use Vice President Dick Cheney's U.S. Capitol office for courtesy meetings with senators, the 100 people who will ultimately decide whether Leavitt gets the EPA job with a confirmation vote.
Neither the Web game nor Cheney's office did much to help the public learn about the nominee. But, as Leavitt prepared to appear before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to day, the gamesmanship has given the nominating process an air of high drama.
