Memo exposes GOP's new green strategy

According to an internal party memo leaked to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental research organization, Republicans are worried that they appear to be "in the pockets of corporate fat cats who rub their hands together and chuckle manically [sic] as they plot to pollute America for fun and profit."
