I can't help but see this as as to how just don't "get it" when it comes to Alaska. It is exactly these types of uninformed, star-gazing, navel-picking, tree-hugging dingbats that will argue until they are blue in the face that there should be no drilling in ANWR, no mining, and no more pipelines. If more of these types of digbats would just spend a FULL WEEK in the wilderness they would realize it is big enough, stable enough, and more than capable of sustaining both wildlife and economic development.

These guys are dorkier than me. Even I know about Alaska having long long days at this time of year. They were probably screaming for their mommies to rub the calomine lotion on their backs.

Beltway bozos. Yep, the outdoors is just full of sunshine. Who knew?

LOL! Do they have golf courses there? If I could handle the mosquitoes it would be golf 12 hours a day.
These girly boys went back to DC to be near their mommies. What loons.

Agreed. I guarantee these were enviro-weenies hoping to become “one with nature”.
If they would have left them there for the bears, they would have become “one with nature” for sure!

I get the distinct impression that neither of these two men have spent much time camping in the wilderness. Even a little bit of research would have told them what to expect and whether or not they were experienced enough for that kind of trip. I don’t claim to be Jeremiah Johnson, but even I know a week in the Alaskan wilderness is going to be roughing it a bit - especially for two guys who hail from the D.C. Metro Area.*
* I am, of course, assuming both men are city-slicker types, and not transplanted mountain men.

Then start with John McCain who continues to vote against ANWR each time it comes up to vote.

LOL! Oh, the things I could say...
We call people like these guys the "3BO" crowd. Birkenstocks, backpacks, and body odor.
