re: #16 Obdicut

I have to disagree big time because his families money comes from Cattle, which is not enviro-friendly so it comes off as super-hypocritical to me at least, because it seems like “I got mind, fuck y’all, now it’s time to curtail emissions.” If he donated significant portion of his families wealth accrued from emitting assloads (literally) of CO2, he’d sit better with me. Other than that, it’s the whole Gore celebrity BS, like his “I hear a whale in danger” crap on 30 Rock, and if people are seriously going to harp on Lieberman as a media whore, you can’t just ignore Gore as one also. I’d have been less of a skeptic earlier if it wasn’t for Gore. The guy was unhinged during the Bush year’s and had speeches where he whipped crowds into mindless frenzies like the idjuts on the right are now.
