Gore Proves One Point, Disproves Another

In an earlier post on Thursday I talked about the "Gore option" for becoming the Dem nominee and how his nearly religious global warming views would make him a bad candidate. Right on cue Al Gore proves my point:

(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. ...

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.

He did manage to disprove one of my theories. I thought that since we hadn't seen him for awhile he must be off at a fat farm trimming down to candidate weight.

Nope, still fat.
