Jackass makes jackass of self - again

(CBS) Self-avowed "P.R. agent for the planet" Al Gore says those who still doubt that global warming is caused by man - among them, Vice President Dick Cheney - are acting like the fringe groups who think the 1969 moon landing never really happened, or who once believed the world is flat.

The former vice president and former presidential candidate talks to 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview to be broadcast this Sunday, March 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Confronted by Stahl with the fact some prominent people, including the nation’s vice president, are not convinced that global warming is man-made, Gore responds: "You're talking about Dick Cheney. I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat,” says Gore. "That demeans them a little bit, but it's not that far off," he tells Stahl.

Hey -- Al Gore -- Mr. Nobel Peace Prize -- Mr. Oscar -- Mr. 60 Minutes -- I hate to hurt your self esteem but I have something to tell you. It doesn't matter how many communist organizations tout your idiotic theory. It doesn't matter who is "in the minority" with regard to science. Scientific principles are not up for a vote -- braying jackass.

Hey, Gore -- if you're such a "PR agent" for the planet, howcum you're getting rich selling carbon credits to peckerwoods? It's funny -- if people believe you, you get richer -- isn't that - uh - what do they call it -- oh yeah -- a conflict of interest -- PR man. I sure hope you have to pay all that money back soon.
