When Dr. Death arrives in the Grand Tetons - all life is disturbed!

[ElementaryPenguin]

Gee, doesn't evil war profiteering President Cheney sound more like a noble, selfless "public servant" every day?

A friend of mine asked me the other day what I had against Cheney - "what is it you dislike most about the guy?" I was surprised to find myself nearly tongue-tied by that simple, soft ball of a question - with such a plethora of possible responses - and not knowing just where to begin!

1. Doesn't the state have toxic pollution laws in place

for state parks? Doesn't the federal government also have those laws in place for National Parks? If they do, they should enforce them no matter who it is who is brazenly breaking the law. The Grand Tetons are a magnificent wilderness. I think oil polluters and robber barons need to be kept out.

2. Laws do not apply to evil-doing Busheviks!! Not ever, see? (Cagney voice)

Grand Tetons are nothing to Evil Dick but some grand tits to sink his evil teeth into and suck the life out of! He'd undoubtedly prefer to make the whole damn park a golf course - with the exception of those precious/sacred oil yielding areas!

3. Yeah, that's it. Practicing medical evacuation.

From the article:

Kim Tisor, a spokeswoman at Ft. Carson, Colo., where the helicopters are based, said the Black Hawks were practicing medical evacuation. As she put it, "a high-security mission" in the area (that is, Cheney) means that the helicopters need to practice nearby.

"They were doing some training," she said, adding that pilots are trained to be "fly-friendly."

Maybe they were flying low to scare the fish into Cheney's boat. He gets real mad when he doesn't catch anything.
