Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait...

...did Al Gore just say what I thought he said?

Gore: Obama has 'failed'

(CNN) – Former vice president and environmental advocate Al Gore sharply criticized President Obama's "failed" approach to global warming Wednesday, forcing the White House to defend its record on climate change.

Gore was supportive of Obama's action in the first six months of his administration, but the former Democratic presidential nominee said the administration has not made the case for action among the American people.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. While it is interesting to note the semantic shift - notice they're talking more and more about "climate change" as opposed to "global warming" - it's not Gore saying that Øbama "failed" that's the issue. It's not unusual for Øbama to come under fire from far-left groups for not being far enough left. What I'm talking about is this:

"Assuming that the Republicans come to their sense and avoid nominating a clown, his re-election is likely to involve a hard-fought battle with high stakes for the country," Gore wrote. "But in this case, the president has reality on his side."

(emphasis mine) Al Gore talking about reality? G'won! Pull the other one!

That is all.

No, really. He's totally serial.

Why not? Reality only works for people here on earth. Gore AND this administration are not. To quote James Kirk: "Part of the free speech movement at Berkeley in the sixties. I think [they] did a little too much LDS."

That word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

Hot Red-on-Red action, right there.

WV: "scrot". Not sure which it's referring to. Probably both.
