Bo Dietl's Brilliant Idea
That Bo Dietl is charged with protecting people’s lives and their well being is not only scary, it should be illegal. That’s he’s actually really good at it is nothing short of surprising, given that he can barely speak the English language.
“You might as well be speaking Russian,” Imus said today when Bo tried in vain to cogently review the new Robin Hood movie. “I don’t understand you. Plus, I don’t care about the movie.”
So Bo dove into another topic that was difficult for Imus to comprehend, but not because of a language barrier—because Bo began advocating that the U.S. drill for oil in the Rocky Mountains.
“Do you know what we have here in the U.S.? In South Dakota and North Dakota and Montana?” Bo asked. “We have the highest oil compounds, 1,000 feet down, very accessible. Two trillion gallons of oil in our Rocky Mountains but all these greeeeen people are worried.”
Proposing that “they can make an oil pump look like a tree!” did little to sway the I-Man, a true land-lover. Bo’s anger over drilling in the Gulf of Mexico was stirred by the massive oil spill that is still raging in the waters weeks after a BP oil rig exploded.
“All the little fishies!” Bo cried. “You can’t get shrimp cocktail anymore!”
And thus, Bo’s true colors, which he never hid very well in the first place, were revealed. “The only reason you care about the poor little fishies is so you can eat them!” Imus yelled back, then unfortunately referred to his friend as a “fat bastard.”
But Bo was not deterred, complaining that not only were the shrimps affected, but that he couldn’t eat clams or oysters anymore either. Always trying to be helpful, Imus suggested something Bo could chow down on instead.
“You could eat me!” Imus said, then calmly explained to Bo that the U.S. would not be drilling in the Rocky Mountains anytime soon. He also explained another, more nuanced point.
“One of the problems is we live in a country that produces you,” he said to his guest. “You are so totally insane, it’s scary.”

Dear Mr. Dieitl:
Is it good advertising for your business....You and "Crusty the Cowboy" fake screaming at each other.
Didn't you direct that Seinfeld show where Elaine told Jerry that she had "faked it" while they were pretend going out?????
thanks
