MICHIGAN GOVERNOR PLEDGES TO DRINK FLINT TAPWATER

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder says he will drink Flint water at home and at work for at least a month to show to residents it is safe with the use of a faucet filter. The Republican governor, who has apologized for his administration’s role in the city’s lead-tainted water crisis, visited a house owned by Cheryl Hill and Todd Canty that was confirmed to have high levels of lead. Snyder, who left with five gallons of filtered water, said he understands people feel that if officials say the water is OK, then he should drink it, too. “What better way to help show support,” said Snyder, who will get refills from other homes as needed.
* Thanks, and may I offer my condolences to your family now.
* This is the break the Assistant Governor has been waiting for.
* I wouldn’t drink that water if I was crawling through the desert.
* “What better way to help show support”? I don’t know. How about doing your job right before there’s a crisis?
* “What better way to help get re-elected?”
* This water’s so bad the formula for it is H2-Oh-No!
* How much lead? Your pee can stop X-rays!
* Sorry, but I need something a little more high-tech sounding than a faucet filter.
