The kind that earned its stripes, such as they are, at any of a couple thousand of this country's soi-disant institutions of higher learning, any time in the last 20 years or so.

[TChad]

Yeah, I think he’s very smart, I don’t go with those who say he’s not smart, I think he’s very smart.

On Iraq? No, I don’t think Dick Cheney had told him yet that he was going to invade Iraq.

So Bush is very smart, but very dumb.

Hey, Al, I've got a new project for you. It's not easy, but I just know you are up to the task:

Make even less sense.

[Finalapproach29er]

Al should ask NASA why there is also warming on Mars.

What's the cause, sir?

[kb2614]

Charlie Rose & Al Gore??? That must have been a truly fascinatinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,,huh,,,oh, sorry, fell asleep. What was I saying??

[bad company]

Were they fondling each other during this exchange?

[napscoordinator]

Al, lets be honest, 15 minutes after George Bush leaves the Oval Office, regardless of whose elected, America is going to have a different global warming policy, we know that’. And I think Exxon-Mobil knows it."


I don't know about Exxon-Mobil, but I do believe that the next President is going to get us back into that crazy Kyoto stuff again. What a waste of money. IMHO.

[Caipirabob]

"Dude, quite bogarding that enlightenment and pass it here!

[Fresh Wind]

I have just one question for Prince Albert:

Mr. Gore, since you have been aware for many years of the looming disaster that is Global Warming®, why is it that the Clinton Administration did so little to promote the ratification of the Kyoto Accords?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

"Why does Siddhartha Bush Sab resist enlightened conversation?"

Unlike Gore, he's got a day job.

[eastcobb]

Why can't Al Gore, and Bill Clinton for that matter, just go off and retire instead of constantly flappin' their big yap everyday?

Oh, I forgot, they're Democrats.

Never mind.

[samtheman]

Of course there's a million things to say about this stupid interview. I'll just pick one:

The Iraqi military was shooting at US planes on a regular basis (every day?) after 1991. That alone was enough reason to invade them.

[hershey]

'Textured and subtle' -- nuanced, flip-flop, lying lib losers. Enormous egos with nowhere to go. Insulting conversations like this between elitist Liberals are why God gave us common sense.

[exit82]

A dinosaur talking to a tree stump.

Yeah, that's enlightening.

[Valin]

why no one is having an "enlightened conversation" with President Bush on global warming.

Has it ever occured to Charlie that George Bush has?

[Valin]

‘Al, lets be honest, 15 minutes after George Bush leaves the Oval Office, regardless of whose elected, America is going to have a different global warming policy,

Wanna bet?

[bmwcyle]

No barf alert, I got sick just reading the title.

[capt. norm]

Al Gore on the Charlie Rose show! The two most boring people on the planet on the same program had to be the extreme of "Must Avoid" TV.

[Cheburashka]

They will be remarkably incurious about whether anything was actually changed.
---
It isn't that the ecowackos will be remarkably incurious about whether anything changed, they don't care. In fact if their policies actually solved the "problem" they would be out of work, so "solutions" that don't actually fix the problem are to be preferred. Then they can come up with new solutions, which won't fix the "problem" either.
The objective is to have something further to advocate, more laws, more restrictions of individual rights, more power to be assumed by the government, which they, of course, will control.

PBS/NPR is the propaganda wing of the DNC. Gotta wonder why Republicans help fund it?

[Mr. Jeeves]

In the book and in the movie I quote Upton Sinclair who wrote 100 years ago, ‘it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon him not understanding’.

Al Gore is out of his mind to use that quote, since it describes the Global Warming Industry so perfectly.
