Al Gore recently took time out of his busy day to remind America how lucky we are that he’s not president:

“What changed in the US with hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately,” he says. “I don’t want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing.”

Al? You there, buddy? Pay very close attention.

Let’s assume, just for a moment, that “global warming” is real, and it is a man-made phenomenon. U.S.-style global warming looks like this:

Yay!

Al-Qaeda-style global warming looks like this:

Boo!

Comprende?

Steven Green of VodkaPundit points out a story in the Sacramento Bee:

Mendocino County women who have been baring their breasts at various venues to protest the war in Iraq are in Sacramento federal court seeking an order prohibiting the California Highway Patrol from arresting them during a planned noon demonstration Monday at the Capitol.The women’s group, Breasts Not Bombs, is suing CHP Commissioner Mike Brown and two of his officers over a warning that if the women demonstrate while topless, they will be arrested and charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

And now for some VodkaPunditry:

Seriously, though, the police need to cool it – and the women need a buy a clue. If they wonder why a misogynist culture wants to blow up Americans, maybe someday they’ll understand that protests like these are part of the reason.Me, I’m a big fan of breasts. Which is why the answer is and must be “boobs and bombs.”

Amen.

She’s gonna have a “die-in.”

“I’ll be laying down and not getting up,” Sheehan said to a small crowd of protesters.

Where have I heard that before?

Expect to see a lot less of Cindy Sheehan after this little episode:

Cindy Sheehan, who became the face of anti-war sentiment after her son died in Iraq, urged foes of the war to thwart Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s political aspirations unless the New York Democrat opposes the conflict. 

“I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support,” Sheehan said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It doesn’t matter if they’re Senator Clinton or whoever.”

“After she met with me, she said she has to make sure our sons didn’t die in vain,” Sheehan said. “That is a totally Republican talking point.”

Bye, Cindy. It’s been fun. Say hello to the Secret Service for me.

I think this qualifies as the incoherent ramblings of a crazy man:

Spike Lee: “Exactly. It’s not far-fetched. And also I would like to say it’s not necessarily blow it up. But, the residents of that ward, they believe it, there was a Hurricane Betsy in ‘65, the same that happened where a choice had to be made, one neighborhood got to save another neighborhood and flood another ‘hood, flood another neighborhood.

Lee: “Let me ask you a question: Do you think that election in 2000 was fair? You don’t think that was rigged?” [audience applause]

Martin: “It’s not a question of not being fair, it’s a question of-”

Lee: “If they can rig an election, they can do anything!”

When asked about the levee conspiracy theory, which apparently has gained credence among some New Orleans blacks, Mr. Lee said that “it’s not too far-fetched to think that, look, we got a bunch of poor black people here. We got to save these other neighborhoods. What we got to do, dump this in this ward, boom. I believe it.”

And when interviewer Daryn Kagan asked whether Mr. Lee really believed that theory, the director replied: “I don’t put anything past the United States government.”

Then again, what do you expect from a Knicks fan?

James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute has a column out this week. In it, he attacks Tom DeLay for his non-support of the Palestinians:

It goes without saying that Arab Americans and those concerned with Middle East peace will shed no tears over DeLay’s fall from grace. The Congressman has long been a fierce opponent of all things Palestinian and Arab. In the 1990s he opposed President Clinton’s proposal to provide aid request to the West Bank and Gaza. 

So far, so good. Back to Zogby, who just happens to be a member of the DNC Executive Committee:

When President Bush proposed $20 million to support Palestinians elections, DeLay reprogrammed the money to pay an Israeli utility bill. He even forced humiliating conditions on President Bush’s recent aid designed to strengthen Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. 

Those humiliating conditions included completely unreasonable elements like “quit buying brand-new Audis while your people starve” and “stop blowing up buses.” Let’s hear again from Zogby:

De Lay, who once called himself “an Israeli of the heart,” also rejected President Bush’s support of a Palestinian state, calling it a “sovereign state of terrorists,” and he even denied that there is any such thing as “occupied territory.” 

How dare Tom DeLay suggest that the Palestinians are not peace-loving people?

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston) has an established history of saying very stupid things, and she’s at it again. Her office issued a press release detailing the Congressidiot’s objections to the Border Protection Corps Act. The release, which looks like it was originally written in crayon, warns about the dire situations that could arise if civilians guard the border:

Our dessert could become a battlefield with many innocent casualties.

Oh, the humanity! I can just imagine the hellish nightmare that could result: a creme brulee littered with tattered corpses. A chocolate cake, pockmarked with smoldering craters. Our nation’s jelly rolls will run red with blood.

And raspberry filling.

Ward Churchill, the anti-American wacko who called compared the 9/11 victims to the Nazis, admitted yesterday he’s a lying scumbag:

“Is he an Indian? Do we really care?” he said, quoting those he called his “white Republican” critics.”Let’s cut to the chase; I am not,” he said.

His pedigree is “not important,” Churchill said: “The issue is the substance of what is said.”

Nonsense. When you’ve built your career on your pedigree, it’s important when that pedigree turns out to be a complete and utter falsehood.

Howard Dean’s shellacking in the primaries really screwed him up:

“I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for, but I admire their discipline and their organization,” the failed presidential hopeful told the crowd at the Roosevelt Hotel, where he and six other candidates spoke at the final DNC forum before the Feb. 12 vote for chairman.

Shoot, at least he’s honest. Wait, no he’s not:

We can talk about our faith, but we cannot change our faith,” he said, echoing themes he sounded in his presidential bid. “We need to be people of conviction.”

This conviction comes from a man who changed religions because his church wouldn’t let the city build a bike path on their property.

It’s been a while since I’ve publicly called anyone a worthless, low-down scumbag.

I’ve been saving those words for Ramsey Clark:

So let me explain why defending Saddam Hussein is in line with what I’ve stood for all my life and why I think it’s the right thing to do now.

Here’s a hint: It’s because Clark is a devoted anti-Bush nut with a completely whacked sense of justice. (He wants to free Saddam and put President Bush on trial.)

Both international law and the Constitution of the United States guarantee the right to effective legal representation to any person accused of a crime. This is especially important in a highly politicized situation, where truth and justice can become even harder to achieve. That’s certainly the situation today in Iraq. The war has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis and the widespread destruction of civilian properties essential to life. President Bush, who initiated and oversees the war, has manifested his hatred for Saddam, publicly proclaiming that the death penalty would be appropriate.

The United States, and the Bush administration in particular, engineered the demonization of Saddam, and it has a clear political interest in his conviction.

We didn’t have to demonize Saddam Hussein. He already was a demon. Ramsey Clark is going to stall and obfuscate just like Slobodan Milosevic, in an attempt to free one of history’s most evil men.

And then, when it’s all said and done, the Iraqi people will try Saddam, find him guilty, and hang him high. Despite Clark’s shameless efforts, justice will be done.

I don’t like to throw around terms like “self-absorbed, irresponsible, scumbag, drunken killer who was expelled from Harvard for cheating.”

So let’s just call him the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts.

At any rate, Ted Kennedy has strongly come out against the use of “torture”:

At the hearing, Kennedy pointed out that Gonzales had attended meetings with Justice Department officials where methods of torture were discussed — including “water boarding,” where a suspect is strapped to a board, turned upside down, and immersed in a wet towel to simulate the feeling of drowning.”Did you ever suggest to them that they ought to lean forward on this issue about supporting the extreme uses of torture?” Kennedy asked.

So now it’s acceptable to really drown a mistress, but not to mock drown a terrorist. Um, okay.
