The Gor(e)y Details

Surely, anyone reading this post has read the gor(e)y details of Al Gore's "documentary" winning the Oscar and the blog storm that ensued divulging Gore's own gross negligence in protecting the environment and staving off global warming. I decided to round up some posts and links for ease of access and posterity.

The Anchoress provides some of my favorite comments and links:

I start with this post before the Oscars because this anecdote portrays the beyond rational science onto religious belief that the global warming cult has become.
He was at some environmental forum, and he said, “How many people here believe that the earth is increasingly polluted and that our natural resources are being exhausted?” Naturally, every hand shot up. He said, “Is there any evidence that could dissuade you?” Nothing. Again: “Is there any evidence I could give you — anything at all — that would lead you to reconsider these assumptions?” Not a stir. Simon then said, “Well, excuse me, I’m not dressed for church.”
Amen, brother.

More via The Anchoress:

A link to the harmful effects of the planned Al Gore's globe-trotting global warming concert tour. Details such as, "The concert will produce more CO2 in one day than the entire nation of Afghanistan produces in a year."

Al Gore's energy sucking, carbon producing home.
...according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research (via Hot Air):

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.


I found the statements below interesting:
Also, Al Gore said last night that “this issue is not a political issue, it’s a moral issue”

---

(From Gore's people) "Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand. "
If it's not a political issue then why are they making a political reference by referring to the right-wing. For the sake of the world and the human race can't they raise above this pettiness?

A great quote from Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit "THE LONELINESS OF JOE LIEBERMAN. But at least he’s not struggling to come up with a position. I guess that’s the difference between knowing what you believe, and trying to figure out what will sell."

Read much more plus links from The Anchoress here including Gore's performing the religious practice of buying carbon footprint indulgences and how President Bush's Crawford ranch is much more ecology friendly than Gore's residence.

Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, has been on a feeding frenzy like I haven't seen before.

Links and comments:

Carbon offsets (Gore's form of religious indulgences.)

This link is a must. Gore, hypocrisy and Gulfstream liberals.

The global warming hypocrisy of Feinstein and Schwarzenegger.

One of Gore's neighbors disputes Gore's claims of carbon neutrality.

And, My favorite for its elitist, the rich and powerful are different and deserve more than the rest of us theme. Instapundit quotes A C Kleinheider, "Al Gore is not the average American. He comes from power and money and he has achieved power and money in his own right.

Al Gore lives a life different from most folks. I'm not one to defend elitism, not as a matter of practice, but some elitism is inevitable." Yeah, right, so we're supposed to sit back and take it.... I'm sure Gore is very elitist. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks he is the savior of the world for that is the throne to which he is pretending.


GM Roper gets in on the act.

Than Your Talk Talks!



Plus, an inconvenient truth from Jon Stewart: ""If any of you at home are wondering about the former vice president's seeming largess, I will have you know, he has not gained weight. He is so passionate about saving this Earth, he is trying not to exhale. ... Here's an inconvenient truth: cake isn't a food group."

Watch this for more from Jon Stewart. Past the halfway mark, he rips Hollywood's ecological hypocrisy, the "green" Academy Awards ceremony, an exercise in "conspicuous consumption", and quite effectively. He uses phrases such as "decadent wasteland" and "steals its water."



More on Gore's energy use from The Tennessean newspaper in Nashville.

heres that story that he is too fat to be a pres, i mean cant they find something important to talk about, like how stupid he is rather than him being fat.

i can see large holes in his "theory" because i was taught to think, as one commentor said, if presidency goes off looks, then might as well get paris hilton in the job, hell she probably wouldnt do a worse job than some..
 
President Howard Taft weighed 300- to 340-pound (136- to 159-kg) during his presidency. We've become a culture that worships the ideal body so much so that anything else becomes unacceptable.

But I like Jon Stewart's irreverent humor although most consider him liberal. When I heard his rant on Hollywood's ecological hypocrisy while watching the broadcast, I knew I had to find a video clip of it. It's telling of our obsession with "great" bodies that the "cake" comment got more press than the Hollywood rant.

As for Paris, she's too skinny for my taste. Elizabeth Hurley is English, but I'd make an exception for her.
 
paris she is too skinny for my taste, but thats apparently the ideal shap for women.

liz hurley, she is too skinny as well, but it should be about the intelligence, rather than looks, the spin on looks. i would rather see an intelligent leader than a mumbling idiot, (whichever party they belong to)
