Gore of all Sorts
April 20th, 2006Jonah Goldberg, a Conservative columnist, has labeled Al Gore a “scaremonger” and fought the majority of global warming scientists with his latest article. Money quote:
Of course, Gore is not alone. A host of new environmental scare books are out or on the way. Last month, Time magazine’s cover warned, “Be Worried. Be Very Worried.” Those renowned climatologists who make up Vanity Fair’s editorial board have unveiled a “green issue” that informs us that “green is the new black” and that global warming is a “threat graver than terrorism.” It says so right there on the cover, above Julia Roberts’ hip. And she’s dressed like a forest nymph, so it’s got to be true.
Gore is not alone — that’s right. But aside from Julia Roberts and Vanity Fair, he has the Pentagon on his side. Surely the Pentagon can’t be classified as a Far Left set of Crazies. Although… they have been on the offensive against Donald Rumsfeld, so how credible can they be?!
I’m not Nancy Reagan, and so I don’t particularly care for astrology, and I’m not Ronald Reagan, so I don’t care for voodoo. But Timothy Ash has a piece entitled, “The tragedy that followed Hillary Clinton’s bombing of Iran in 2009″ and it’s a darling little article about what will happen in a few years. Problems with it, of course, lie everywhere. But, truth be told and from a military perspective, if this is the worst that the Guardian can project, the alternative of inaction and a nuclear Iran isn’t so bad.
Aside from Al Gore and the gore of war, the White House itself is in a bloody state after Karl Rove was demoted and the Press Secretary thrown under the bus. Howard Fineman confirms that Rove’s wings “have been clipped. Good for Bolten. Good for the White House. Good for America.
