Gore Pwns Blackburn by tgirsch

Kevin’s “esteemed” representative tries to play the passive-aggressive game with Al Gore on climate change, and he promptly puts her in her place:

“I understand exactly what you’re doing, Congresswoman. Everybody here does.” It’s not quite “Have you no sense of decency, sir,” but it’s up there.

I don’t even like Gore, but that was a wonderful bit of not-playing-along.

p.s. i assume somebody like TPM or such has the financial documentation to back Gore up?

You know what, Gore did his thing, but at the same time, he fumbled epically, Leon Lett style…

I mean, he took the high road, and defended himself admirably. But, I have dreams of being interrogated by Congress and being asked a question like that. You wanna talk about faux ideologues espousing bullshit, hypocritical, harmful nonsense simply to further their own financial interests, at the expense of our citizenry and the world at large.

Grab yourself a glass of lemonade and a notepad, bitch. Where gonna be here for a long fucking while! Roll tape, this is gonna be Asthton Kutcher’s Twitter big.

The part I liked is hearing Gore laugh when she started with the “I just wanted to give you the opportunity” nonsense. He knew what kind of crap was coming.

Why didn’t ALBore allow someone to challenge him? Simple, he’s yeller.
