Quote of the week

“It is hard to say which of Al Gore’s awards seems more improbable: his Academy Award, although he does not possess a single skill required for filmmaking, or his Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming, although he has no technical skills in that area and he has misled the world profoundly as to the danger. It just goes to show how good life can be once you officially are designated a victim of George W. Bush.” — Tony Blankley

Open query

“People are asking the obvious: How has Gore’s alarmism on global warming aided world ‘peace’?” — Brent Bozell

The BIG lie

“Yes, the prize is rightly his. No one has devoted himself with such dedication and intellectual probity to a cause as important as this one. No one. So he deserves the Nobel. And the country deserves Al Gore to make another run at the presidency, he having lost his last try through chicanery and the arrogance of a party for which lying is second nature. Or maybe first.” — Marty Peretz, editor of The New Republic

This week’s ‘Braying Jackass’ award

“In the scientific community, there was literally zero dissent [on global warming]. But at the same time...[there is] a massive propaganda campaign by the Exxon corporation and by others... that has been very, very successful at persuading the media not to cover this issue seriously and reporters simply don’t go read the science.” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
