Brown's all wet on the environment -- still

Here's the latest from our rocket scientist congressman: He actually thinks offshore drilling off the S.C. coast is fine -- despite the fact that it could seriously damage South Carolina's $15 billion tourism industry, create an environmental nightmare and decrease South Carolina's quality of life.

"Pyro" Brown shows his complete lack of any environmental credentials with statements like this in the Chicago Tribune this week:

Rep. Henry Brown Jr. (R-S.C.), who represents Myrtle Beach, is convinced that drilling makes sense.

"If it's OK for Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, it should be OK for other states," Brown said. "Everyone should be treated the same. We are in an energy crisis and we should do everything we can to become more energy-independent--including offshore drilling."
