Crazed Sex Poodle droops

Poor little soft little withered little Algorekins.

Speaking about the likelihood of climate bill being passed by Congress in 2010, Al Gore told a conference call of supporters tonight that, “this battle has not been successful and is pretty much over for this year.” Gore bitterly denounced the Senate and federal government stating several times, “The U.S. Senate has failed us” and “The federal government has failed us.”

Gored urged his listeners to take the “realistic view that they had failed badly.”

Gore said “the government was not working “as our founders intended it to” and laid more blame at the feet of fossil fuel interests who conducted a “cynical coordinated campaign” with “unprecedented funding” and “who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars just on lobbying.”

Well, what he says is exactly right, but not in the way he means it.

"Not working as the founders intended", exactly right. The founders did not intend the Feds to destroy our industry and mines because of mythical "pollution". The founders did not intend the Feds to deprive farmers of property because of mythical "endangered animals." The founders did not intend the Feds to tear down irrigation dams because of mythical "endangered animals." And the founders couldn't begin to imagine a Federal agency that makes breathing illegal.

If we could describe the current situation to the founders, they would demand to know why we're not repelling this enemy army called the "Federal government", because its actions are precisely the actions of an enemy army in wartime.

"Coordinated campaign of funding" by fossil fuel interests, exactly right. Fossil fuel interests, especially BP, have been heavily funding Gore's side of the argument for many years. Before 2000 they also provided some funding to the factual ("skeptical") side, but no longer.

Asked why the alarmists were ineffective in addressing Climategate, Gore bitterly blamed a “biased right-wing media… bolstered by professional deniers.” Gore claimed the Wall Street Journal published 30 editorial and news articles about Climategate and “not a single one presented [his] side of the science.”

I truly can't understand this persistent delusion by Commies. American "media" present Gore's side of the argument 99.99999999999999% of the time, without even mentioning that another side exists. American education and churches present Gore's side 100.00000000000% of the time, often more loudly and wildly than Gore himself. Among "respectable" media, the Wall Street Journal is the SINGLE SOLITARY EXCEPTION to this absolute unanimity.

When everyone knows that you have absolute control, it's way beyond bizarre to claim that the other side has absolute control. When your mentor Brezhnev was bothered by a wave of dissidents using mimeographs to spread opposing information, he didn't whine that the samizdat had total control; he just tried to shut them down. Brezhnev understood that the people hated him because he was a tyrant and a gangster. He didn't share your infantile delusion that the people would really love tyranny if only you could somehow grab more than 100.0000000% of all available communication channels to persuade them. How in the fuck could you even have more channels on your side? Mass lobotomy? Mass electroshock?
