WHY aren’t they talking to Queen Nancy??? HER carbon footprint is huge - not to mention what it costs us taxpayers!

More Americans know who Harrison Ford is.

**He earned the money and he can spend it on whatever he wants, wherever he wants it and however he wants it.**

DITTO ... but you have to admit it’s MORE Fun watching the EnviroWeenies trying to EAT THEIR OWN.

Well said! Seems I remember his “evil” helicopter flying resulted in the rescue of a lost Boy Scout too.

Now if that was an “In and Out” burger, it was well worth it. Agreed 1000%.

Include me in - for a Double-Double!

Harrison Ford is certainly no stranger to assuming the role of a hero. From Han Solo to Indiana Jones, Ford has created some of the most memorable and likeable heroes ever to appear on the big screen. Lately, however, Ford has been called upon to test his real-life valor, his flying skills in particular, in order to rescue people in the Rocky Mountains near his home in Jackson, Wyoming.

Ford, a part-time Jackson resident who routinely offers his flying skills and helicopter for rescue missions, joined a search for a missing Utah Boy Scout who had wandered off a trail Monday and spent a cold night alone in the secluded forest, said the Teton County Sheriff’s Office in Wyoming. After two hours of searching, Ford and another rescuer found 13-year-old Cody Clawson, about 10 miles from a Boy Scout camp at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. He landed nearby to whisk the soggy, cold, tired and hungry scout to safety.

This was not the first time that Ford has participated in a successful rescue mission. Last July, he plucked an Idaho Falls, Idaho, hiker off 11,106-foot Table Mountain in Teton County. Megan Freeman climbed the mountain, but altitude sickness and dehydration left her ill and unable to climb down. Ford picked her up and flew her to a nearby hospital. Harrison Ford: a favorite on the screen and off.

For those that might not know, Harrison Ford is the head of the Young Eagles program, designed to give youngsters free flights to help them perhaps focus on aviation as a career. He has flown countless flights and is heavily involved in the national program.

Great. But I don't want to hear anything out of his mouth about environmentalism, or how the rest of us should cut back.

Do they slam Al Gore-bechev for all his unnecessary jet trips? At least when Harrison goes on a sky ride it pays many salaries and supports an Airline. Do they dress down the POTUS for using AFI for a date night in NYC? Gore-bechev owns his own plane. You and I pay for AFI. I wonder where Ford went for that cheeseburger? It must have been something else!

If he's spending his money, it doesn't matter.

If he's spending taxpayers' money, then I would care.
