Issue 9.11: Cunning Lingle


What Governor Linda Lingle said in an Aug. 27, 2005 press release announcing her hosting the upcoming International Women's Leadership Conference:


September 08, 2005
"I am excited about this unique conference that will bring together women leaders from around the world to network, motivate each other, provide insight into their fields of expertise, and share their inspirational stories of success."







What she didn't say:



One of those "women leaders" who will "provide insight" is Patricia Lynn Scarlett, The U.S. Department of the Interior's Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget. Though she works at a federal agency guarding the environment, a Mother Jones magazine profile of Scarlett mentioned that she compared environmentalism to Marxism, derided statements about the Earth running out of resources as a "myth" and spent many years working for the Reason Foundation, which is funded by Chevron, Dow Chemical, the American Plastics Council, among others.
