Temperatures are predicted to reach a high of only 43-degrees on Wednesday in Washington, but look for high-heat to come out of Al Gore's schedule appearances on The Hill!
Gore is set to solo before Rep. John Dingell's [D-MI] all powerful Energy and Commerce Committee in the morning and Sen. Barbara Boxer's [D-CA] Environment and Public Works Committee in the afternoon.
Both are expected to have overflow seating, and protesters, both for and against Gore.
Gore will get a 30 minute opening and then Boxer and her republican counterpart, Sen. Inhofe, each get 15 minutes each of questioning in addition to their opening statements. Other senators will only get 5 min of Q & A.
"Democrat Dingell is a big global warming skeptic, so do not expect him to go too lightly on Gore," predicts a congressional source.
Proposed questions for Gore, which are circulating behind-the-scenes, have been obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT -- question that could lead Gore scrambling for answers!
Mr. Gore: You have said several times that we have 10 years to act to stave off global warming. Was that 10 years from the first time you said that or 10 years from now? We just wanted to get a firm date from you that we can hold you to.
Mr. Gore: How can you continue to claim that global warming on Earth is primarily caused by mankind when other planets (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) with no confirmed life forms and certainly no man-made industrial greenhouse gas emissions also show signs of global warming? Wouldn’t it make more sense that the sun is responsible for warming since it is the common denominator?
Mr. Gore: Joseph Romm, the executive director for the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions, has said we must build 700 large nuclear plants to stave off climate change. Where do you stand on the need for nuclear energy?
Mr. Gore: Do you think the earth is significantly overpopulated and that is a major contributor to your view of climate change. (If yes, what do you think is a sustainable population for the planet?)

How does he eat...
When you can't baffle with brains, dazzle 'em with BS!!
That will be Gore's strategy. Sadly enough, many will buy into his BS.
O baby I am looking forward to this.
Oh, I'm hoping this is going to be good entertainment.
I seriouly doubt that this will amount to anything close to a "grilling".
Dingell's masters are the auto unions in Michigan. They don't like Al Gore.
A democrat controlled committee is going to "grill" manbearpig? Please.
Will he bring his Oscar with him?
dang...I even did a search!!!
By the time I got this posted you already beat me to it!!! This should be very interesting!!!
"That will be Gore's strategy. Sadly enough, many will buy into his BS."
You only buy BS when you're in the market and those goofs wanna buy it lock, stock and barrel.
Mr. Gore: How do you get your big fat head through the neck hole in your t-shirts?
Mr. Gore: Have you no shame, sir?
to bite my shiny metal ass!
Inhofe will be really really interesting. He believes this GW is nothing but crap. woohoo!!
The Democrats are in an interesting position. When they were in the minority they could snipe with impunity, knowing that they'd never have to enact legislation. Now that they're in control, they're going to have to put their rhetoric into law. If they did half of what their more rabid environut constituents wanted, it would sink the economy if not end industrial civilization itself. Trying to appease that group while not destroying US industry and raising the cost of living to the sky will be quite the balancing act.
Drink the KoolAid Al... Save The Planet!

Dingell is not just any 'rat. He represents Michigan, and he has about as much use for nutty GW wackos as the Eagles had yesterday for anti-war protestors. He's also been in the House longer than anybody, so nobody is going to tell him how to run his committee or what to say.
I agree that Gore might not get grilled, but it would not surprise me if Dingell is more aggressive than most 'pubs, who seem to have become scared rabbits lately.
