Eating your young!

There he is, the poster child of the Global Warming debate; handsome, isn't he? Well today, the New York Times decided to eat it's young. Burried in the "Science" section of the paper, was a great commentary by William J. Broad. Mr. Broad does all he can to give 'ole Al a fair shake with fluffy prose such as "Some backers concede minor inaccuracies but see them as reasonable for a politician." Oh, so Al not really telling the truth?! WTF?!

Mr. Broad's attempt at "fairness" is at times an uncomfortable contradiction to the point of his article which is, "Hey Al, put down the Power Point for Dummies, and leave the science to us."

Then this gem from Al himself, "“I am trying to communicate the essence of it in the lay language that I understand.” Umm..Al, we're not idiots. What he's saying here, for the five of you watching Katie Couric, I'm hand picking the facts that I think will have the most impact on the audience!

"Geologists have documented age upon age of climate swings, and some charge Mr. Gore with ignoring such rhythms. " Ummm... no shit!
