CBS's Harry Smith: Is Al Gore a Prophet? (Perhaps a Prophet of Doom)

CBS's Harry Smith: Is Al Gore a Prophet? Reporter gives former vice president a worshipful interview, suggests Gore could have done more if he were elected president.

By Ken Shepherd Business & Media Institute 2/9/2007 5:00:12 PM

Is meeting a former vice president a religious experience? Devout global warming believer and CBS reporter Harry Smith seemed to think so.

A week after foreseeing Miami as the next lost city of Atlantis, CBS’s Harry Smith declared former vice president Al Gore to be a “prophet.”

“Do people here know that very likely in the next – well several decades – all of this is going to be underwater?” “Early Show” anchor Harry Smith prompted author Carl Hiaasen during a pre-Super Bowl interview in Miami. The February 1 chat with the journalist and author had nothing to do with global warming, although the author is known to have a left-wing environmentalist viewpoint.

Eight days later, Smith did sit down to chat about climate change with former Vice President Al Gore and Virgin Group chairman Richard Branson, who have teamed up to offer a “$25 million prize to fight global warming.”

Smith treated Gore and Branson to a softball interview that descended into effusive praise for the former vice president. “Is Al Gore a prophet?” Smith asked Branson on the February 9 “Early Show.”

Al Gore a Prophet? That has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard, if Al Gore was a Prophet, he would of been able to know he lost in 2000 without all those recounts.

Al Gore is an environmental Savanarola who will kill the US economy on a bonfire of global warming.

Unstable of mind perhaps. If he turns out to be a prophet I will immediately transfer to another reality. (somehow)

I had to stop by my attorney's office today, he had a sign on the door that said, "Please close the door behind you, Al Gore is full of crap and you're letting the heat out!"

It's frustrating to realize that Gore and his ilk will never be held to account for their scam.

Climate change is longterm by its nature -- all the alarmists are likely to be dead before anything is resolved. Even if the global warming were to be declared over next year -- Gore and co. would simply claim credit.

Gore is not a prophet. He is a slimey liberal moron, an opportunist, trying to milk the minds of fools with this global warming sham. A con man like his infamous mentor.

Harry Smith must be ignorant that he just degraded himself..
Even most democrats know Al Gore is a moron..

Harry Smith must be even lower on the intellectual scale than a democrat..
Pity..

We know the Gores were smart enough to buy their property in Tennessee after a global thaw.

If the Gore family had lived in Tennessee 12,000 years ago, when it was cooler, they would have inhabited caves and hunted mastodon.

If global warming is good enough to help the Gore family, it should be good enough for other people, too. Why is Al hogging all the warmth for himself??
