Jill – I can’t even look. Animals in distress send me into a major anxiety attack.

I can’t look at them, either, Adrienne, it’s heart-breaking.

Where the hell are the greenies? Shouldn’t they, with their enormous budgets and volunteer/work force, be down there en masse helping these poor animals? When the Exxon Valdez accident happened, they swarmed the place. Some of them have to actually care (not be political pawns), right? This breaks my heart.

Yes, where are the environmentalists? If some Progressive Democrat organization were to put out the word, they’d show up. But instead they’ll demonstrate in DC with signs that say: No drilling in the U.S. (The fact that they’re environmentalists will account for their special dispensation to arrive in DC via gasoline and jet fuel from Saudi Arabian oil.)

Me neither. I can’t stand the thought (never mind the reality) of animals suffering. It must be their innocence and helplessness.

And then there’s the media response. I’m sure from Obama’s point of view he’s being crucified. But imagine the scenario if this had happened under Bush. The media would be whipping the populace into a frenzy. The howls for his head would be deafening.

If this had happened under Bush, I think Democrats in Congress and talking heads would be discussing “high crimes and misdemeanors” by now.
