Suck on a lump of coal

Rep. Nick Rahall Jumps Out Of A Plane For The Coal Lobby
If all went as planned, House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) jumped out of a plane on Saturday to show his support for the coal industry. In third-person fashion, he described the upcoming event last week as "a Nick Rahall affirmation of the importance of coal and an opportunity to pay tribute to those who extraordinarily serve and make personal sacrifices each day for the citizens of West Virginia and our Nation as a whole."
Nicky. How does jumping out of a plane affirm coals importance? Coal fired airplane? Nicky, if it is so safe and important, go into the mine, breathe the coal dust, take a bite .... Show us some "clean" coal.

Jumping out of a plane with a chute affirms the importance of the parachute. It also affirms the fact that you will take any opportunity to have fun as long as a lobbyist or taxpayer pays for it.
