Who cares.
"This political stunt is insulting to all Ohioans, and I will be working with the House Committee on Natural Resources to determine what can be done to prevent this action," Gibbs said.
Wrong.

He's just playing politics. If it weren't named after a Republican president, it wouldn't be getting changed.

Between this and what Hoban did, tough weekend for things named after McKinley.

If your read the article, two things are clear:
1. Naming the mountain was not carefully considered - McKinley was a nominee after all
2. Alaska doesn't want it. I don't blame them. It'd be like us calling Lake Erie 'Lake Palin'

Why do you care when Alaskans want the change?

It was pushed by an Alaskan Republican Senator.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, introduced legislation in January to rename the peak, but Ohio lawmakers sought to block the move. In June, an Interior Department official said in testimony before Congress that the administration had “no objection” to Ms. Murkowski’s proposed change.

1. Personally, I don't much care about the name one way the other.
2. As part of the national park system, the citizens of Ohio, North Carolina, etc. have as much say as the residents of Alaska.

An intellectual would understand that making a post critiquing something is an implicit admission of caring. I guess you're either too elderly and have outgrown any intellect you may have once had, or you just never had any to begin with. You might want to consider changing your title, as it is no longer applicable to you. You have grown logic-averse in your dying years.

Well, it took an act of congress to change the name to Mt. McKinley, so one might reasonably assume it would take the same to change it now, except we know how the current WH occupier operates.


Move along ......

In other words, as a PROTIP to Belly: If you can't spell disingenuous, you shouldn't try to act that way.

Who cares.

Ohio lawmakers making a mountain out of a (rather large) molehill.

Thank you for caring about me. Maybe if you actually had any intellect you would have used English properly to articulate what you actually meant.

I could care less about you, because I took the time to write this post.
