Boehner skeptical wildlife lives in ANWR

Maru skeptical braincells work in repugs

Minority Leader John "Boner" Boehner and other House rethuglicans are wasting even more of the taxpayers' money this weekend, traveling to Alaska to check out the frigid, barren heckhole that is the Arctic Oil Fields National Wildlife Refuge.

"We're going to look at this barren, Arctic desert where I'm hoping to see some wildlife," Boehner said. "But I understand there's none there. But I'm still going to look for it. If I find any, I'll let you know."

Yeah, be sure to take pictures:

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge protects the most spectacular array of arctic plants, wildlife, and land forms in the world. Designed to embrace the range of the great Porcupine caribou herd, the Arctic is also home to free-roaming herds of muskox, Dall sheep, packs of wolves, and such solitary species as wolverines and polar and grizzly bears... it is the birthing ground of not only the caribou but also polar bears, grizzlies, Arctic wolves, and the highly endangered shaggy musk ox. During summer, peregrine falcons, gyrfalcons, and golden eagles build nests on cliffs. Harlequin ducks and red-breasted mergansers are seen on swift-flowing rivers. Tens of thousands of snow geese stop here during September to feed before migrating south. The rugged mountains of the Brooks Range are incised by deep river valleys creating a range of elevations and aspects that support a variety of low tundra vegetation, dense shrubs, rare groves of poplar trees on the north side and spruce on the south.

Brrrrrrr. Yep, sounds like a veritable lunar landscape to me. Asshole.
