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.

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.”

I am from Tennessee also and very embarrassed by him. I still see Gore/Liberman bumper stickers on cars around here.I live about 15 miles from his "so-called"family home in Carthage.They still have a Gore/Liberman Store open in Carthage!
I got my picture taken with me wearing my Club Gitmo t-shirt on Rush Limbaugh's website.

You beat me to the Prophet of Profit line.(wink)

Anyway folks, isn't it obvious? Al Gore is(was)
a washed-up also ran, just a few years ago.

A passe public figure in search of a cause, if not
a memorable exit. To borrow a title from the Twilight Zone-
"A Character In Search of An Exit"- a notable one.

Perhaps, he truly now does believe in human induced
climate change, however, if you bet the ranch on
a theory, you sure as hay better defend it....JJ61

lobotomy was a complete success and he should
soon be easing up on that 'New Ice Age - Global

Nothing unusual about this at all. Sounds like virtually every "interview" the media does with their liberal soul mates.

However....the same "reporters" put conservatives "on the rack" and are relentless in their interrogations.

"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."

No questions from Mr. Smith, I'm sure, about Gore's preferred method of transporation -- private jets. At the very least he's a colassal hypocrite.

Only in the liberal newsrooms of America could someone with no scientific training or experience be portrayed as an expert on global meterorlogical and geophysical matters.

If you notice periods of depression that seem to accompany seasonal changes during the year, you may suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression – usually in late fall and winter – alternating with periods of normal or high mood the rest of the year.

Most people with SAD are women whose illness typically begins in their twenties, although men also report SAD of similar severity and have increasingly sought treatment. SAD can also occur in children and adolescents, in which case the syndrome is first suspected by parents and teachers. Many people with SAD report at least one close relative with a psychiatric condition, most frequently a severe depressive disorder (55 percent) or alcohol abuse (34 percent).

Symptoms of winter SAD usually begin in October or November and subside in March or April. Some patients begin to slump as early as August, while others remain well until January. Regardless of the time of onset, most patients don’t feel fully back to normal until early May. Depressions are usually mild to moderate, but they can be severe. Very few patients with SAD have required hospitalization, and even fewer have been treated with electroconvulsive therapy.
