Who knew Shaheen was for brown. Not Brown, brown. - Granite Grok

Who knew Shaheen was for brown. Not Brown, brown.

After I read the report I’m about to cite, I was going to steal its headline: “Jeanne Shaheen: Onetime Sludge Queen

It’s a good one isn’t it?  It’s from TheDailyCaller report by Patrick Howley.  The “Onetime” refers to sludge, literally.  But to those who have observed the political machinations of Senator/Governor Shaheen, the figurative “sludge” still applies…heavily.  But enough of that.

Turns out when Shaheen was Governor she was for importing s**t into New Hampshire.  Literally. Not joking: drek, scheisse, scat, dung, pooh etc.   Apparently her motto was: Welcome to New Hampshire, come in and take a dump or just ship it here, we can handle it.  Or maybe, Live Free or Die from the steaming sulfuric piles of sludge wafting through the air.  What a nice image eh?  Hard to believe the enviro-whackos are so craven and sycophantic towards Democrats that they simply clothes-pin their collective noses and support Sludge Queen Shaheen this time around– they do, seriously, read on.

From the aforementioned Daily Caller report:

“Sludge,” a solid material borne of sewage wastewater and human feces, was being imported in mass quantities into the state of New Hampshire during Shaheen’s governorship between 1997 and 2003. By 1999, New Hampshire under Shaheen was importing half of its sludge from other states, and by October 2000 the state counted 50 sites for sludge-spreading.

Shaheen even made an official proclamation declaring “Biosolids Recycling Day” (i.e. “Sludge Day”)

Sludge Day.  Has a nice ring to it eh? Rhymes so deliciously with Fudge Day, I’m sure some people got confused.

“It seems to show she supports the spreading of sludge,” said Doug Bogen of New Hampshire’s Clean Water Action affiliate, according to a May 2000 article in Foster’s Daily Democrat.

Seven major environmental groups in the state lined up to oppose Shaheen’s proclamation, including Sierra Club of New Hampshire, Northeast Organic Farming Organization, Citizens for a Future New Hampshire, Conservation Law Foundation, New Hampshire Citizens for Health Freedom, New Hampshire Pure Waters Coalition, and New Hampshire Rivers Council.

Sierra Club, Sierra Club… where have I heard that before… oh yeah, they endorsed her just a few days ago.  My what a principled bunch they are!  Remember that the next time you think of supporting the Sierra Club.  What they’re for today might not be the same tomorrow.  Reminds me of the pusillanimous NHGOP in their ability to detonate principles when things get a little tough.  Anyway, back to Sludge Queen Shaheen (man I love that).

Shaheen also vetoed two bills in 2000 to test sludge’s effect on New Hampshire water. As Shaheen’s Republican gubernatorial opponent Gordon Humphrey said in 2000, ”We are becoming a dumping ground. And Gov. Shaheen somehow seems to be in favor of this.”

In favor of importing sludge into New Hampshire, how lovely.  Keep this in mind when you’re voting on November 4th.  John Langdon would never do this.
