Dueling Murkowski videos

By Juliet Eilperin

As the fight continues over Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-Alaska) amendment to block the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases, political junkies might want to check out two new YouTube videos.

This one shows Murkowski defending her move to curtail the agency's powers, even taking foes on their own terms by mocking their claim that her resolution would create "The Dirty Air Act."

And this one, shot by the advocacy group Polluter Watch, is a bit of guerilla theater playing off lobbyist Jeffrey R. Holmstead's involvement in crafting a similar amendment Murkowski tried to offer last fall.
