Vanity Fair Attacks Rush Limbaugh and Sentences 'Environmental Sinners' to Hell Posted by Julia A. Seymour on April 9, 2007 - 17:22.
Welcome to hell global warming skeptics.
That was the message of a two-page "Dante's Inferno: Green Edition" in the May issue of Vanity Fair. That was just part of a full-issue assault in which the magazine unleashed its vitriol against businesses, conservatives and even radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh "has blinded millions of Americans to the climate crisis," proclaimed Vanity Fair. The magazine also accused him of "the environmental destruction that he did so much to enable in his multi-decade reign of denigration."
But El Rushbo, was far from the only target in Vanity Fair's line of fire.
"It is an ongoing mystery to me why Republican administrations are such wretched protectors of our land, inasmuch as Republicans own so much of it," editor Graydon Carter said in the issue's introduction.
Vanity Fair even assigned industries and individuals to the circles of Dante's Hell.
"Then there’s the final circle – hell itself – containing “Satan, and in his three mouths: Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), former chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, tireless denouncer of global warming as ‘a hoax’ perpetrated on Americans by alarmist liberal media; President George W. Bush; Vice President Dick Cheney, former Halliburton C.E.O., convener of top-secret energy task force, which met with oil and gas executives.”
Only more ammo for Rush.
WOW what a stinging article...oh wait...who cares...not me.
Who is Elijah in this new age religion?
Nobody with working brain parts pays any attention to Vanity Fair, and hasn’t since the mid-80s. Intellectually, is is fourth rate drivel, glossy bird cage liner. Occasionally they do publish some nice photographs, but that’s about it.
I always get my political news from Vanity Fair. Just like I get my tax advice from Sports Illustrated.
Forgive me Al...for I have sinned and come short of the glory of Global Warming....

Maybe the ex, Marta, works there, or has a friend who works there. Wasn’t she in the publishing business?
Another vanity. Another fair. Corndogs and clowns.
I can’t believe that at one time I read Vanity Fair. Oy.
Vanity Fair
Less serious than Rolling Stone
As Jesus taught, it's a belief system resting on shifting sands, as there is no fixed moral reference point by which to judge.
Vanity Fair isn’t.
As a sign of its 1000% commitment to environmentalism, Vanity Fair should cease publishing its magazine on paper, the production of which generates CO2 and steam (a REAL greenhouse gas).
I think there is a certain rough justice in requiring that Vanity Fair’s “hit pieces” be engraved on stone tablets.
Sometime in 2003 Carter became mentally ill, and he's been getting worse ever since.
Pollution actually decreased in every year under the Bush administration save 2002. Same record as Clinton...
Can I just assign the writers and editors of Vanity Fair to hell? I assume that will accomplish just about as much...
No, wait, I suspect they never broached the subject.
Never mind.
Nothing like an hysterical, liberal nut case to turn most people right off. Especially one haranguing the very people they are trying to win over.
