Protesters Hilariously Troll DINO Senator With Inflatable KXL Pipeline On Her Lawn [View all]

[Segami]

While Senate “Democrats” are busy selling us out to “save” Senator Mary Landrieu’s doomed seat by scrambling for pro-Keystone XL votes, No-KXL protesters have a better idea. ABC News reports that today, a few dozen folks pulled a hilarious stunt, by converging in front of the Louisiana DINO’s Washington, DC home with a giant, inflatable model of the KXL pipeline.

350.Org‘s Karthik Ganapathy declares:

“If she [Landrieu] wants this pipeline so badly, they can go through her front yard, not any one of ours.”

And before you dismiss the No-KXL protesters as a bunch of starry-eyed hippie environmentalists, the next speaker to send a message to Sen. Landrieu should give you pause. Art Tanderup — a solid, middle-aged farmer from Nebraska and a spokesman for the Cowboy Indian Alliance – adds:

“For somebody who had the gulf oil spill, and the devastation that that brought to her state, as well as the entire Gulf [of Mexico] coastline and the Gulf [waters], she should understand how important it is that we don’t have these types of environmental disasters. And unfortunately, cleaning up the gulf was a piece of cake, compared to what it’s going to be to clean up a tar sands spill in the Ogalala Aquifer.”

Of course this comical KXL pipeline replica doesn’t pose nearly the threat of the real thing. But the motor for the generator that keeps it inflated is hopefully loud and stinky enough to annoy Landrieu and her neighbors. Meanwhile the Twitteratti express disgust at Senate Democrats selling out their constituents — the majority of whom are pro-environment and support reducing the use of fossil fuels to address climate change — just to save a “Democrat” whose views barely differ from those of her Republican challenger in Louisiana’s runoff election.
