Gore was all the rage this past weekend. His daring new challenge to eliminate CO2 emissions in 10 years was actually not laughed at. Honestly, it is hard to believe and sometimes harder to take. It is impossible to think this is remotely plausible unless one is a virtual illiterate and completely uninformed. How is it the press does not do any research and lead with this story of impossibility? Instead they treat this ox-head as a person to be taken seriously. What is with these people?
The last time I commented on Brokaw was 2006.Keller, Russert, Brokaw, et.al At the time all the rage was about "Wilson" and "Plame" and "Libby" and how Bush and/or Darth Cheney were out to sabotage the country on something or other. Quick, what was that debate about? I know you cannot remember. I can't and I was irritated enough to write about it. The point is these topics are not important in themselves, which is why they are not remembered. They are important only as a vehicle to create the meme you do remember. Bush and Cheney are evil liars out to take your liberty away, give money to Halliburton, and send off children to die for their evilness.
"Wilson" and "Plame" were about whether Hussein--remember him?---sought to buy "yellowcake" uranium from Niger or not--I cannot bear to get more detailed. Just google it if interested. Needless to say, I bet you do not recall this--even if it was only a few weeks ago.American Thinker: The 550 Tons of Yellowcake Of course, who cares? Obama will fix it all and we will not have to worry our little heads.
My point in 2006 about Brokaw is he is an overrated and pompous journalist. Maybe those are the wages of achieving fame and keeping it after your time is far gone. He should let it go. But he is too important to walk off the stage. America and NBC need him. He had Squealer Al on Meet the Press Sunday. Brokaw's performance is the classic example of the statement "he is either a liar or an idiot". The show was unwatchable for its unspoken assumptions and biased craftiness. Transcript The entire "background meme" is CO2 "is of course a massive problem" as if to question it is unthinkable.
He actually asked Gore about his energy usage. He let Gore get away with the assertion he is carbon free. He may or may not be in his house. I never went to his house with my ghostbuster CO2 meter reader. But the people of Tennessee do not believe it. They provide a nice update at the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. Brokaw somehow forgot to mention the $100 million or so Gore has made carnival barking global warming--or for that matter what it cost him to update his house with "green power". Was the press always this compliant and stupid? The answer is of course yes.Pulitzer-Winning Lies
