Robert Redford NOT endorsing Bush, blasts his energy stance

(NOTE: The 'endorsing' part is just tongue-in-cheek, given the gist of many of the Gore/Dean threads here.)

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Actor and longtime conservationist Robert Redford criticized the Bush administration's energy legislation, calling it one of the worst bills he's seen in his lifetime.

At a news conference before attending a fund-raiser for Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., Redford said the bill was flawed from the start since it was designed behind closed doors by Vice President Dick Cheney and oil industry executives.

"It's one of the greatest disgraces in my time," Redford said Sunday. "It's a bad bill, it's a horrible bill.

"I believe that now, for my lifetime, I've never known a time more threatening and dangerous to the American people at large or the country at large" on a wide range of issues, he added.

Redford said the legislation places too much dependence on fossil fuels and not enough stress on alternative energy sources and conservation measures.
