2. So the US Acountability Office investigated the subject of
lead and copper in drinking water. Wow such genius at work!! Copper pipes. Lead-based solder. Viola' lead and copper in drinking water. Duh, we've been dealing with this issue for decades. Perhaps the US Accountability Office should be investigating such lead pipe cinch issues as:

1. How The presisdent could appoint a horse judge to emergency response for the nation
2. How same emergency response actually didn't in time of crisis
3. How an entire nation ould be lied to about the reaons for going to war in Iraq
4. How the intelligense officials in in the Fedral Government can't seem to find their collective assess despite the aid of both hands and a flashlight
5. How authorizing the use of force against AlQueda and even iraq sonehow became a license to spy on ASmerican vitizens
6. How the president of the United States had the temerity to offer up a political do nothing ass kisser as a Supreme Court Justice Candidate
7. How the presiden't closest assocites could knowingly release the identities of CIA intelligence operatives in a time of WAR
8. Oh hell the list is just too damn long for further enumeration.
