Gore's Antarctic Sellout Crowd: 17 Freezing Scientists

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
