Pelosi Says No to Alcatraz

January 26th, 2009 by Quan Tranh

There are many proposals being kicked around as to what to do with our foolish friends at Gitmo when the prison closes.  Nancy Pelosi has decided that she doesn’t want the terrorists in her state.  Great!  Not in my back yard.  I get that, but her justification is pretty lame.

“Alcatraz is a tourist attraction. It’s a prison that is now sort of like a — it’s a national park.”

Pelosi has obviously missed the boat here.  If you say “tourist” with a Texas accent you get “terrorist”.  Just a little change in marketing and you can now sell it to the people.  But let’s look further into this.  It’s a national park.  It’s a prison, that is a tourist attraction, and is a national park.  What do you call a park that attracts tourists and is a prison?  It’s called a zoo.  Add some Al-Qaeda baboons and you’re all set.
