Key Excerpts from Lou Dobbs Tonight:

Dobbs: Phelim McAleer. He is the director and the producer of the documentary ‘Not Evil, Just Wrong’ – who you just saw, by the way, questioning Al Gore. Good to have you with us. And Fred Krupp. He is the president of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). Good to have you with us.

DOBBS: Well, keep us in the driver’s seat? I just have to interrupt you there. This is the driver’s seat we’re in right now?

MCALEER: Lou, it’s a common sense plan by a millionaire head of an environmental organization, with big business to keep smaller competitors out. It’s about regulating and keeping big business in the position it’s in by these millionaire environmental organizations.

KRUPP: Not so. You know, we have a website…

MCALEER: You know, Fred – Fred earns $500,000 a year. Do the people of America want their future and their economy to be decided by a millionaire lawyer who calls himself an environmentalist working with big business, keeping competitors out and bringing in increased regulations?
