Excerpts: The rest at Politico:In a surprise appearance at Netroots Nation — which apparently was the worst-kept secret in Austin, Texas — former Vice President Al Gore followed up a speech by Nancy Pelosi by laying out a narrative on climate change and the energy crisis that seems ready-made for the Obama campaign to download.
“If you look at the seriousness of the climate crisis, you see how it ties to the economic crisis and the national security threat that we face,” he said. “200 billion dollars are being sent overseas just from oil.” "The climate crisis" -- ROFL.
“The idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd,” he said, comparing the push for offshore oil drilling — which has gained popularity and put environmentalists on the defense — to dealing with a hangover by having another drink. Hey, idiot, if it won't work, then let us try and then say "I told you so." Outta the way, Gore, you braying jackass.
“The defenders of the status quo are the ones who have dug us into this hole,” he said, commenting that Americans have been “so often fooled into finding a remedy for a problem" that has nothing to do with the problem at hand — pointing to the invasion of Iraq when America was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan as an example. Yes -- we were fooled. When Saddam decided he didn't have to listen to UN resolution after UN resolution, we should have just let him by with it, right? If that's the case, why have a UN at all? Yet, you libs all want to hand over our sovereignty to the UN. Makes plenty of sense -- to idiots.
