Bloodthirsty Liberal

THANK G-D!

Mullets were never cool: see proof above.

“Current TV said Friday afternoon that it had terminated the contract of its lead anchor, Keith Olbermann, scarcely a year after he was hired to reboot the fledgling channel in his progressive political image. Current indicated that he had failed to honor the terms of his five-year, $50 million contract, giving the channel the right to terminate it,” New York Times’s Brian Stelter reported this afternoon. For his part, Olbermann trash-tweeted Al Gore and the suits at Current on the way out the door…

His twit-o-tantrum:

My full statement:

I’d like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV.

Editorially, Countdown had never been better. But for more than a year I have been imploring Al Gore and Joel Hyatt to resolve our issues internally, while I’ve been not publicizing my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the sake of its loyal viewers and even more loyal staff. Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of abiding by their promises and obligations and investing in a quality news program, finally thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract.

It goes almost without saying that the claims against me implied in Current’s statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently. To understand Mr. Hyatt’s “values of respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty,” I encourage you to read of a previous occasion Mr. Hyatt found himself in court for having unjustly fired an employee. That employee’s name was Clarence B. Cain. http://nyti.ms/HueZsa

In due course, the truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will come out. For now, it is important only to again acknowledge that joining them was a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one. That lack of judgment is mine and mine alone, and I apologize again for it.

As long as you’re apologizing, Keith, can Michelle Malkin can expect hers any day now?

Hey, at least Olbermann has Al Gore figured out. But then, even a stopped clock…

It’s a long post, but a picture tells it all:

Analysis of this “Climate 101? video highlighted on Mr. Gore’s website is something I’ve been working on for the past week and a half. It has been carefully reviewed (with video graphics tools) and has been inspected by a number of science, engineering, and television professionals I’ve had review the video, my video captures, annotations, and writeup to be certain I have not missed anything or come to an erroneous conclusion. It also took me awhile to locate and get the items shipped to me to do the work I needed before I wrote this article. Now that I have them, and have done some simple replications to confirm my suspicions, I can write about them while presenting corroborating photographic evidence.

With 9 points of agreement between the two images through all video frames there is only one possible conclusion:

The split screen is showing the same piece of video, shot by a single camera and edited to make it appear as two separate pieces of video with two separate thermometers. All that is required is to apply edits along different portions of the timeline. It is the same video shot by the same camera on each side of the split screen.

In short, this scene, among others, is faked, fixed, a fraud. What a surprise.

When reached at his home, Gore had no comment.

Well, he does [NSFW]:

His dying spasms are awkward to watch (or listen to).

Wanna see Al Gore’s head explode?

You won’t have to wait long, given that mutated melon’s distorted growth in recent years. But if you want to pop it like a pelvic abscess, just send him this story:

The lull in global warming from 1998 to 2008 was mainly caused by a sharp rise in China’s coal use, a study suggests.

The absence of a temperature rise over that decade is often used by “climate sceptics” as grounds for denying the existence of man-made global warming.

But the new study, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concludes that smog from the extra coal acted to mask greenhouse warming.

China’s coal use doubled 2002-2007, according to US government figures.

Although burning the coal produced more warming carbon dioxide, it also put more tiny sulphate aerosol particles into the atmosphere which cool the planet by reflecting solar energy back into space.

I believe a measured scientific response would be: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t like “drill, baby drill”? Fine. Pick, baby, pick!

The researchers conclude that declining solar activity over the period and an overall change from El Nino to La Nina conditions in the Pacific Ocean also contributed to the temperature plateau.

Declining solar activity? You mean, like, the sun? What’s that got to do with climate?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Stand back, that thing’s going to blow!

In 2007, Al Gore won.

Spain’s second-biggest poetry prize has been awarded this year to a volume honouring unsung heroines including Irena Sendler, who saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Sendler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, a year before her death. She lost to former US Vice President Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“It is abundantly evident that she could have been a truly deserving recipient of the (Nobel) prize, no question,” said Fatima Frutos, winner of the 2011 Kutxa Ciudad de Irun Poetry Prize, ahead of an international field of 204.

Al Gore! Hehehehehe, hahahahahaha, have the oceans receded yet?

Our liberal friends will need to upgrade their fat screens—sorry, flat screens—when these two get together. Fifty-five inches won’t do it. They might want to consider IMAX.

Keith Olbermann, the former top-rated host of “Countdown” on the news channel MSNBC, will announce his next television home on Tuesday, and people familiar with his plans pointed Monday to a possible deal with the public affairs channel Current TV.

Neither Mr. Olbermann, his representatives, or executives from Current TV would comment on the move, but they did not deny that the channel, which counts former Vice President Al Gore as one of its founders, will become at least one partner in Mr. Olbermann’s future media plans.

Current TV, huh? I’d say about 2,450 volts ought to do it. Oh, sorry. Was that uncivil of me?

Now he tells us:

Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore said support for corn-based ethanol in the United States was “not a good policy”, weeks before tax credits are up for renewal.

U.S. blending tax breaks for ethanol make it profitable for refiners to use the fuel even when it is more expensive than gasoline. The credits are up for renewal on Dec. 31.

Total U.S. ethanol subsidies reached $7.7 billion last year according to the International Energy Industry, which said biofuels worldwide received more subsidies than any other form of renewable energy.

“It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation ethanol,” said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.

“First generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.

“It’s hard once such a programme is put in place to deal with the lobbies that keep it going.”

That sounds like a “mistakes were made” defense. You had nothing to do with it, Al?

He explained his own support for the original programme on his presidential ambitions.

“One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president.”

So, we blew $7.7 billion last year alone just to fuel (heh) your presidential ambitions, is that it?

Oh well, as long as no one got hurt:

The U.S. ethanol industry will consume about 41 percent of the U.S. corn crop this year, or 15 percent of the global corn crop, according to Goldman Sachs analysts…

Gore said a range of factors had contributed to that food price crisis, including drought in Australia, but said there was no doubt biofuels have an effect.

“The size, the percentage of corn particularly, which is now being (used for) first generation ethanol definitely has an impact on food prices.

“The competition with food prices is real.”

As those grappling with global poverty have been telling us for years. One by one, the shibboleths of environmentalism fall to the ground as spent husks.

BTW: shibboleth is a Hebrew word meaning ear of corn. How cool is that?

That’s all. What part of “Do as I say” was unclear to you?

Green-minded campaigner Al Gore has been left red-faced after being accused of leaving his car running for almost an hour while he gave a lecture on sustainable development.

It is alleged that Gore made the gaffe while he spoke at the School of Business, Economics and Law in Gothenburg, Sweden on Wednesday.

His mistake was compounded further by the fact that he had asked his distinguished guests to attend the event by public transport in order to minimize CO2 emissions.

However, environmental website Climate Depot alleges that he arrived in a rental car from the airport and did not shut off the engine while he spoke.

Swedish law prohibits – for environmental reasons – any car engine being left running without its driver for more than 60 seconds.

The fines for breaking that law are severe but it appears Gore has not been fined.

Despite his active environmental campaigning, the former U.S. Vice President Gore has been criticised by other environmental campaigners in his career.

On this occasion he was accused of ‘stupidity and hypocrisy’ by Marc Morano, Executive Editor of the Climate Depot website.

On this occasion? Cite for us one example of a time when Gore was neither stupid nor hypocritical. Go ahead, we’ll wait. Let me just get a sandwich and a beverage first… And some chips… And a pillow… There. No, wait, now I have to pee… Okay, I’m good.

No, not in that sense, you pervs.

As in no charges will be filed (in one of the cases, anyway):

Former Vice President Al Gore will not face prosecution on an allegation of sexual assault from 2006.

The allegation, brought forth by Molly Hagerty, claims Gore sexually abused her during a professional massage at the Hotel Lucia in Portland on October 24, 2006.

…

The Portland Police Bureau did not recommend prosecution “due to a lack of credible evidence,” according to the Multnomah County district attorney’s office.

“After evaluating the materials submitted by PPB I have concluded that I agree with the assessment that a sustainable criminal case does not exist,” Senior Deputy District Attorney Don Rees wrote in a memo Friday. “Ms. Hagerty’s detailed statement … is insufficient to support a criminal charge given other contradictory evidence, conflicting witness statements, credibility issues, lack of forensic evidence and denials by Mr. Gore.”

I’m glad to see he took care of this.

But “contradictory evidence, conflicting witness statements, credibility issues, lack of forensic evidence”—that sounds like the whole global warming fraud in a nutshell!

Move over, Bill Clinton. Take a number, John Edwards. (Who’s Gary Hart?) There’s a new, er, member of the club:

The ENQUIRER reports in an exclusive bombshell exclusive that police have investigated charges from TWO MORE WOMEN who claimed they were abused by former VP AL GORE!

The allegations come hot on the heels of an ongoing Portland, Ore., police investigation that reopened after The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed accusations by a licensed massage therapist who says Gore groped her in 2006.

The ENQUIRER recently uncovered shocking allegations, from two other massage therapists.

The first incident allegedly took place at a Beverly Hills luxury hotel when Gore, 62, was in Hollywood to attend the Oscars in 2007.

The second reportedly occurred a year later at a hotel in Tokyo.

A Beverly Hills hotel source told The ENQUIRER:

“The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her.

“He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, ‘Take care of THIS.’”

No wonder he was so obsessed with the “lockbox” of social security. Maybe the reason he thinks the ice caps are melting is because his compass needle is always pointing north.

Hey, before you dismiss this as just National Enquirer trash, remember they scooped everyone on the John Edwards story.

Anyhow, if this global warming racket melts like his tumescence in the presence of Helen Thomas, he can always hook on (and hook up) with the UN:

There have been 45 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against personnel in United Nations peacekeeping and special political missions worldwide this year, with 18 involving minors, according to United Nations statistics. Most cases remain under investigation.

Of the 39 reported to countries that contribute peacekeeping troops, as well as other member states, the United Nations has received responses in just 13. The standard policy is to repatriate the personnel involved, with discipline left to individual governments.

The bulk of the cases, as in previous years, involve peacekeeping troops in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But that might be partly attributed to a particularly aggressive radio campaign by the discipline team there, as well as greater interaction by the troops with the local population than in most missions, the spokesman for peacekeeping operations, Nick Birnback, said.

Which is to say, there are undoubtedly more abuses, some involving minors, that are unreported.

Let me ask our liberal readers, how you liking your party’s leaders? How you liking your arbiter of international agreements?

What’s that? Banging underage African girls doesn’t bother you? As long as the UN’s doing God’s work?

O-o-o-kay-y-y:

The outgoing chief of a U.N. office charged with combating corruption at the United Nations has issued a stinging rebuke of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, accusing him of undermining her efforts and leading the global institution into an era of decline, according to a confidential end-of-assignment report.

The memo by Inga-Britt Ahlenius, a Swedish auditor who stepped down Friday as undersecretary general of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, represents an extraordinary personal attack on Ban from a senior U.N. official. The memo also marks a challenge to Ban’s studiously cultivated image as a champion of accountability.

Shortly after taking office in 2007, Ban committed himself to restoring the United Nations’ reputation, which had been sullied by revelations of corruption in the agency’s oil-for-food program in Iraq.

But Ahlenius says that, rather than being an advocate for accountability, Ban, along with his top advisers, has systematically sought to undercut the independence of her office, initially by trying to set up a competing investigations unit under his control and then by thwarting her efforts to hire her own staff.

“Your actions are not only deplorable, but seriously reprehensible. . . . Your action is without precedent and in my opinion seriously embarrassing for yourself,” Ahlenius wrote in the 50-page memo to Ban, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. “I regret to say that the secretariat now is in a process of decay.”

And we just “celebrated” the 15th anniversary of the consequences of letting the UN sort out real conflict in Bosnia.

How’d that work out?

I’ve gotta print me up a bumper sticker that says, “Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for the crazed sex poodle.”

We haven’t given the Al Gore al-legations much bandwidth here, but not out of any high-and-mightiness of attitude or self-congratulatory moral superiority.

On the contrary, they haven’t dug a gutter deep enough to repel us.

Speaking for myself, I just didn’t care enough: Al Gore is more than enough of a figure of mock and ridicule without his divorce or his alleged sexual assault on a masseuse in a hotel room.

But listening to some of the police reports read out on the radio yesterday (a repeat broadcast of a local show), I think I was hasty:

In a bizarre statement to police, the Oregon woman who claims that Al Gore fondled and groped her during a massage session described the former Vice President as a giggling “crazed sex poodle” who gave a “come hither” look before pouncing on her in a Portland hotel suite. In a taped January 2009 interview with cops, the 54-year-old woman, a licensed masseuse whose name has been redacted from police records, read from a lengthy prepared statement that detailed her alleged October 2006 encounter with Gore at the Hotel Lucia. Excerpts from the Portland Police Bureau transcript of the 2009 interview can be found on the following pages. In December 2006, a lawyer for the woman told police about the purported encounter, but after the masseuse cancelled three interview appointments, the case was closed due to her refusal to “cooperate with the investigation or even report a crime.” It is unclear why, two years later, she approached Portland police and sought to memorialize her allegations against Gore, who she portrayed as a tipsy, handsy predator who forced her to drink Grand Marnier, pinned her to a bed, and forcibly French kissed her. The woman’s statement–which could be mistaken for R-rated Vice Presidential fan fiction–describes Gore as a man with a “violent temper as well as extremely dictatorial commanding attitude besides his Mr. Smiley Global Warming concern persona.” After fleeing Gore’s suite, the woman returned home to discover, a la Lewinsky, “stains on the front of my black slacks.” Suspecting that the stains were Gore bodily fluids, the woman made sure not to clean them. “I carefully hung them up and decided to be sure not to launder them until I knew more what to do with what had happened. Just my intuition.”

Intuition? Honey, that’s called history. And there’s plenty more goo where that came from if you want to read the pdf file.

But let’s pause and reflect, shall we? This is hardly a scoop, but big-deal Democrats are a pretty randy bunch. Starting, I suppose, with JFK in the early 60s (presidential affairs go back a lot further than that, but Kennedy turned a pastime into a competitive sport). The Kennedy clan alone must be responsible for half the semen spillage on the East Coast from, say, 1952 to the present day. Bill Clinton certainly emulated his role model in that way, and I suppose you could say Al Gore was just trying to exorcise his inner demon-crats, as well.

We also have Gary Hart aboard the Monkey Business…

John Edwards and Rielle Hunter…

Client No. 9 with his vendor…

Why is this man smiling?

Alleged stalker Marion Barry with his alleged stalkee…

Along with other affirmative action extramarital lovers, Jesse Jackson, Kwame Kirkpatrick, David Paterson, and, of course, President Obama’s all-consuming love of himself:

Plus gay Democrats (married and unmarried) like Barney Frank, whose boyfriend ran a gay brothel out of their apartment; Gerry Studds, who had sex with a teenage House page; and Jim McGreevey.

(Some of these leches courtesy of Boycott Liberalism.)

And let’s not forget Chandra Levy, whose murder is still unsolved, but whose ties to Democratic Congressman Gary Condit were well chronicled…

And did I mention the Kennedys?

This is just a Whitman Sampler of Democrat lotharios—and lord knows Republicans have had their own Casanovae—but when you have a line-up of sexual predators, alleged rapists, suspected murderers, serial stalkers and texters, johns, among the every day, run-of-the-mill scumbags as your party’s leadership, what does that say about the party—and even what it stands for?

PS: Did I mention the Kennedys?

Thanks to reader Jeanette for noticing that (admitted) Russian spies who forge UK/Irish passports are given a free pass, while (alleged) Israeli spies who might have done the same are treated as if they siphoned off a quart of Christian blood for their evil rites.

Just Journalism, a independent research group focused on how Israel and Middle East issues are reported in British media, examined news coverage of the Russian spy ring recently nabbed in the United States, which allegedly used British and Irish passports. It compared it to the coverage of the misuse of passports by the Israeli hit team that allegedly killed a terrorist in Dubai earlier in the year.

“In the latter case, expressions of political and media outrage were abundant,” it determined. “In the former, not so much on either front.”

An editorial published on March 24 in The Guardian, after London expelled an Israeli diplomat following the Dubai assassination, proclaimed that the faking of British passports was “the mark of an arrogant nation that has overreached itself.” On June 30, an editorial on the Russian espionage case in the same newspaper failed to even mention the alleged use of a forged United Kingdom passport.

The BBC, too, has given “negligible” coverage to the UK passport forgery in its items on the Russian spy affair. “Of the eight articles published on its news website on the subject in the last 24 hours, only three even mention the issue,” Just Journalism reported. One BBC journalist, Paul Reynolds, did draw a link between the two cases at the end of his piece on the Russian spies, identifying the common alleged use of British passports by Israel and Russia as a “diplomatic footnote.”

A left-wing British newspaper calling the Jewish state “arrogant”. Didn’t see that one coming!

BTW, if Israelis were involved in the Dubai assassination (and I dearly hope they were), they were terminating a Hamass thug. They deserve the Victoria Cross.

What were the Russian spies doing but ever so subtly seeking to undermine the strength of the West?

They even registered to vote!

The Cambridge couple who allegedly lived double lives as Russian spies and ordinary Americans took another step last fall to blend into what they claimed to be their adopted homeland — they both registered to vote for the first time.

But, according to the Cambridge Board of Elections, Donald Howard Heathfield and Tracey Lee Ann Foley never voted.

At the request of the Globe, the board yesterday released copies of the voter applications the couple mailed to Cambridge City Hall in October. They did not identify a political party.

DAMN!

You know who they side with. I mean, you know it:

Also yesterday, Leon Fuerth, Al Gore’s former top national security aide, told the Globe in an e-mail that he had had contact with Heathfield.

From his Cambridge home on Trowbridge Street, Heathfield operated a company called Future Map that was supposed to develop and sell software that would help government and business leaders anticipate societal change before it happened.

In the e-mail, Fuerth wrote that “Heathfield introduced himself to me after a speech I gave, and described himself as having similar interests in the subject of long-range foresight as a means for making better decisions.’’

He added, “I was [and still am] teaching the subject, and he represented that he was dealing with it as a business subject. Eventually, he proposed that we look for a way to partner on a research grant — but the idea didn’t appeal to me.’’

Oh yeah, Heathfield made great decisions. But then, so didn’t Gore… allegedly.
