Global Warming Nuts Deface Mount Rushmore With Banner

It must be nice not to have a job…

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and . . . Barack Obama?

Patriotic tourists visiting the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota on Wednesday found a fifth face displayed—and not as a compliment—next to the giant stone carvings of four legendary presidents.

A group of environmental activists connected with Greenpeace unfurled an enormous banner showing President Obama’s face and calling for an end to global warming.

The 65-foot by 35-foot banner — which read “America Honors Leaders, Not Politicians: Stop Global Warming” — was hung to the immediate right of Lincoln at about 10 a.m. local time, said Patty Rooney, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service’s Midwest Regional Office.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of the gigantic banner they’re never going to use again was.
