Bush Thinks The Ill and Dying Are Frivolous

In his State of the Union speech, Bush said, "Justice is distorted, and our economy is held back by irresponsible class-actions and frivolous asbestos claims -- and I urge Congress to pass legal reforms this year."

I guess he was referring to problems like this:

"W.R. Grace and Co. and seven high-ranking employees knew a Montana mine was releasing cancer-causing asbestos into the air and tried to hide the danger to workers and townspeople, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday. More than 1,200 people became ill, and some of them died, prosecutors said," according to USA Today.

Why doesn't the press ask Bush about this alleged crime and explain why he thinks the more than one thousand sick or dead Montanans are "frivolous'?
