Between Entergy's Indian Point and Cheney, Stench on Hudson Getting Worse

Cheney Goes Hunting

It is bad enough that Hudson Valley residents are being forced to play host to a aging nuclear reactor leaking strontium and tritium into the Hudson River on a daily basis with the blessing of the NRC. Even worse, Entergy is willing to put 21 million people in the path of danger for 20 more years for corporate greed. Now, to add insult (and stench) to injury, we learn that low life scum Dick Cheney whisked into the area for a hunting trip at a Confederate Flag flying private club...how precious...NOT! Someone needs to come forward and identify the rest of Cheney's hunting party.

Cheney hunting trip under fire for Confederate flag

UNION VALE, New York (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney spent about eight hours hunting Monday at a secluded Hudson Valley gun club where well-heeled enthusiasts shoot ducks and pheasants

It was Cheney's second visit to Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in Dutchess County, about 70 miles north of New York City. The previous trip was in fall 2001.

Although a heavy police presence kept the media and curious local residents at a distance, Cheney's visit did stir up a bit of controversy when a New York Daily News photographer snapped a picture of a small Confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club property.

The photo was shown to New York City civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, who issued a statement demanding that the vice president "leave immediately, denounce the club and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and murder to black people." Full Story
