Gore's Antarctic Sellout Crowd: 17 Freezing Scientists

[Tim Slagle]

Al Gore's epic global warming concert series, which is to feature musical performances from all seven continents broadcast live on July 7. Unfortunately, it seems that the concert that is to take place on Antarctica will not quite have the star-power that Gore had sought

So Gore's attempt to rock Antarctica in the name of global warming was stymied by the fact that the continent is so darn cold as to be virtually uninhabitable and completely inaccessible at the time of the event.

I laughed so hard at this, I almost hurt myself!

[avacado]

For a guy who is trying to save the planet, a concert on Antarctica seems a bit destructive...

[ghost of nixon]

I found it amusing that Gore - the supposed climate expert - didn’t know that even getting to July in Antarctica would be a problem.

[Izzy Dunne]

When Al Gore was informed that July is winter in Antarctica, and completely inaccessible

Thick as a Brick he is.

[untrained skeptic]

Don't forget the irony of wanting to fly a group to Antarctica for a political stunt, despite the obvious waste of fuel and the CO2 that would be released for no other purpose than to say that they had a concert on Antarctica.

It should be obvious to anyone with half a clue that Gore is a hypocrite and an idiot.

[04-Bravo]

As Foghorn Leghorn would say, “That boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball.”

[CheyennePress]

Or perhaps that the date they selected (07.07.07) is more widely known as the 2nd anniversary of the London train bombings in the land of the Beatles, the Who, and the Rolling Stones...

[NonLinear]

Are you sure this wasn’t from Scrappleface? Somebody HAD to have made this up!

[hsalaw]

“Sharp as the edge of town” is another good description for Algore.

[sgtbono2002]

Poor Al: It must be horrible to be so incredibly dumb.

I guess that the saving grace is that when you are that dumb, you never know it. Also he isnt the only one that dumb. Many people voted for him and went to see his movie.

Now” THATS dumb.

[unspun]

How much carbon would they have to throw into the atmosphere to get there and back?

[HKMk23]

I say, hey, BOY!
Why, uh — look at me when I’m talkin to ya!
Things keep a-goin over your head, Boy. You’re built too low.
You got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin ‘em and you keep missin ‘em.
Now, lookie here, son...

[gov_bean_ counter]

I hate it when you folks do that.
Now I gotta tell folks in the office what I’m laughing about.

[CaptRon]

Guess he ain’t “the smartes guy in Antarctica”.

[Tim Slagle]

You’d think it was made up.

But it’s all genuine. I’ve been talking to Linda Capper about it for a month now, She sent me the official press release just this morning.

[HKMk23]

I’ve been cracking up, myself, today. A few months back someone linked up to an IMAO piece on Fred Thompson. The comments to that blog post are STILL coming in, and they’re as funny as ever.

[Zon]

Reading that, it occurs to me that the the creator of the Foghorn Leghorn character created him based on a fast-talking politician. Perhaps a warning of what’s was to come. The smartest woman in the world doesn’t even measure up to a toon.

[HKMk23]

The smartest woman in the world doesn’t even measure up to a toon.

True, but you've got to admit; she's quite the caricature.

[HKMk23]

More Foghorn quotes at the bottom of this page:

Enjoy!

Also, history on the origins of Foghorn. Seems Zon’s on the right track, as one theory centers on a fictitious Senator Claghorn from the old “Fred Allen” radio program.

[Inquisitive1]

“That boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball.”

I've always liked "sharp as a bag full of wet mice".

[gathersnomoss]

Woodstock is dead, Al. Give it up.

[lag along]

But he went to a theological school. Flunked out, right after he figured out how to start a new religion. Besides with the way global warming is about to burn us up, maybe he just counts on it reaching Antarctica by July.

[Brilliant]

[eyedigress]

Do you think the Antartic International Airport can handle his entourage? I here the concierge service sucks.

[DanielRedfoot]

“When Al Gore was informed that July is winter in Antarctica, and completely inaccessible, Linda “

Haha! Exactly - He had to be informed of this?

I would love to see someone ambush this clown on camera and hit him with (what used to be) simple 6-8th grade earth science questions .

Such as- “what time of year is the earth closest to the sun Al? Explain the carbon Cycle Al?

[eyedigress]

Antartic=Antarctic

[ronnie raygun]

ta think this guy could have been President is frightning! Has he confered with the penguins and walruses on this idea. Hey Al, goo goo ga joob!

[Duke Nukum]

From the article: Nobody wants to sacrifice, including the Live Earth Rock Stars. I doubt any musicians will be using un-amplified instruments...

This is such a good point. I wonder if Sheryl Crowe thought of using only solar powered amps before her stupid toilet paper idea?

[avacado]

LOL!!!!!!!! Exactly!

[avacado]

"I found it amusing that Gore - the supposed climate expert - didn’t know that even getting to July in Antarctica would be a problem."

He probably thought July down there was summertime, too!

[Enchante]

Sad to think of what will happen to the groupies trying desperately and hopelessly to get to Antarctica........ how many aging rock ‘n’ roll sluts must die for the Goreacle’s “7th continent” concert????

* Performance enhancing steriods are formulated from blood donations from Fred Thompson.

* Fred Thompson doesn't have to defy gravity because gravity doesn't have the balls to defy Fred Thompson.

*The Veto will not be necessary with Fred Thompson as POTUS because Democrats will only pass stuff that Fred Thompson wants passed and NOTHING else!

*No major hurricanes in 2006 because Fred Thompson said so.

*Nature abhors a vacuum. Unless Fred Thompson wants a vacuum, then nature thinks they are pretty cool.

*When the Justice League of America calls 911, 911 calls Fred Thompson.

It’s been 40 years since the “Summer of Love” kicked off “The Great Debauchery”, and it is now time to drag the culture back — kicking and screaming, if necessary — from the brink of The Abyss.

[George W. Bush]

I found it amusing that Gore - the supposed climate expert - didn’t know that even getting to Antarctica in July would be a problem.

Does he understand the tilting of the earth's axis from fourth grade? July = Arctic summer = Antarctic winter.

Maybe someone should explain the two hemispheres thing to Al.

[spokeshave]

Well..goes to show how important Al Bore’s geo-stationary satellite would have been...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Gore has enough of a hard time getting the two hemispheres of his brain to function normally. Forget about him knowing about the earth’s tilting. He has been tilting to the Left for all his life so he thinks that everything else tilts the way he does.

PS: To him, GAIA, is a type of apple.

[Scotsman will be Free]

LOL! The greeners are a hoot. Too bad so many fools listen to them.

[PA Engineer]

Foghorn wav files here.

[Bringbackthedraft]

AL, there is a reason the C130’s only stay 10 -20 minutes with their engines reved up at Antarctica. Its so the hydraulic fluid don’t freeze up. Its also dark down there. Go to Churchill Cananda, it'll be warmer there, and you can entertain the polar bears.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The science is settled...

These guys are total dorks.
