the governor's wife continued by telling about their own safari when they were chased by an elephant, and suggested that they would have been safer if the elephant-hunter King had been with them in the jeep! They look for any excuse to politicize a kind gesture from Michelle.

Meanwhile, not only do they lack sensitivity to hunting and killing intelligent animals like elephants, but they joke about it.

Down here in Florida, we seeing a record number of dolphin deaths and lots of unusual activity where dolphins beg for food from boaters (of course, you shouldn't feed them but people do). Some of the experts think the food sources in the Gulf were depleted by the oil spill and dispersants, if not directly causing the deaths.

These rich idiots don't care about the environment or conservation or wildlife - the only thing they care about is money. It's like Romney and putting the dog on the roof of the care. The attitude is the same.
