Kevin Rampe, of whom no one believes his continued postulations that it is made of sugarplums and candy canes, again finds himself on the short end of the stick. Turns out that even the EPA, a toothless patsy for the Bush administration (these are the folks that said repeatedly that the area around the WTC site was safe from day one, and then, after everything was carted away in open air containers, said “Whoops! Maybe not,” and managed to drive away that fire-breathing Marxist, Christine Todd Whitman), thinks his plan is all wet.
True to EPA form, they aren’t actually doing anything. Their response is more or less an SNL-level parody of Dubya going, “It’s Bad! It’s Bad!” (or was that Dana Carvey doing 41?) and with some follow-on muttering about the “hard work” required to amend the proposed demolition plan. No one quite understands how any of this will make downtown safer, so maybe we should just take the Rampe approach: believe, yes believe! That it really is clean. And that we really need 7 million square feet of spec office space once we have dispersed all the toxins throughout downtown (how’s that renting going at 7 WTC Larry? Looks just peachy from midtown, where people are running down nuns to get space at $75/sf).

We told you someone had to watch Rampe.
