Bloated Blather

The Bloated One is at it again, on foreign soil, of course:

Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as "a renegade band of right-wing extremists".

In an interview with the Guardian today, the former vice-president calls himself a "recovering politician", but launches into the political fray more explicitly than he has previously done during his high-profile campaigning on the threat of global warming.

Denying that his politics have shifted to the left since he lost the court battle for the 2000 election, Mr. Gore says: "If you have a renegade band of right-wing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right."

What is it about the Democrats that makes them think it's wise to trash their President and their government in other countries? What possible good do they think that does? Sure, it makes them loved by their fellow America-hating left-wing kooks, but most Americans do not fit that description.

Personally, I think another Al Gore candidacy would be a great thing for the Republicans.

JASmius adds: Sorry to intrude again, but Double-H plucked another Fat Albert quote that neatly sets off the above slur:

"This [i.e. global warming] could literally end civilisation." He smiles. "I know it sounds alarmist, as if this is hyperbole, like a man with a white beard holding a placard, saying the end of the world is near . . . but this really is a planetary emergency."

He smiled? At what? The prospect of "the end of civilization" (which the implementation of his evil scheme would certainly accomplish) or the fact that he knows damn well what a ridiculous hoax he's trying to perpetrate upon the body politic and let his mask of fleshy solemnity slip for a moment?

And he purports to speak of "extremism." Brings a smile to your face, doesn't it?
