Huckleberries: ‘Dunkirk’ was fabulous but that didn’t stop Al Gore Boo Birds

Huckleberries Tuesday:

Christa Hazel couldn’t believe what she was hearing in a Regal Riverstone theater in Coeur d’Alene on Thursday evening: Boos.

The trailers were playing as the audience settled into their seats to watch Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk.” Then, a trailer for Al Gore’s new documentary on global warming hit the screen. And the Boo Birds in the crowd responded.

And then the fans of former Vice President Gore shouted back.

The back-and-forth angered Hazel, a Kootenai County Republican precinct committeewoman. She said she was “just irritated that what was once considered rude is now encouraged to publicly show your dedication to an agenda.” Global warming might separate the Gore Boo Birds from the Cheerleaders. But both sides of the environmental divide probably would agree with Christa’s assessment of the movie: “ ‘Dunkirk’ was fabulous!” Full column here.
