Al Gore, Ugly American
Investor's Business Daily ^ | May 2, 2007

Posted on 05/03/2007 8:21:42 AM PDT by presidio9

Does Al Gore have nothing better to do than butt into other countries' politics? In his grand bid to save the planet, he's damaging real nations and undercutting U.S. ties. He's worse than the Ugly American.

Gore flew over to Canada last week and loudly blasted the Canadian government for its rejection of the Kyoto Treaty as "a complete and total fraud."

Speaking at a Toronto screening of his movie "An Inconvenient Truth," he announced that the Canadian government's new, more realistic plan to reduce greenhouse gases "is designed to mislead the Canadian people."

Not only did he offer an opinion of global warming, he offered an opinion about the Canadian government, too -- as if his Oscar for his error-filled documentary had gone to his head and he suddenly confused himself with the ruler of the world.

That wasn't Gore's first back-kick in the international china shop. A few days earlier, he publicly insulted Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, our closest ally in Latin America, by refusing to share a podium with him at a Miami environmental conference.

Gore justified his lack of class by making wild accusations that Uribe has ties to Colombia's paramilitary guerrillas and is thus a human rights violator.

Gore's hypocrisy in this was obvious enough,

Great article. Really portrays Gore as a childish chump who goes around pissing off world leaders.

Run, Big Al, run....

After Gore lost the Presidential election, he went off the deep end and lost it. He truly believes that he should be King and can’t handle rejection.

Al Gore alienates our allies and Nancy Pelosi cozies up to our enemies. Democrat citizen-diplomacy conducted by arrogant idiots.

And Laurie David was quoted as begging him to "adopt" her, because he's a father-figure to her. I don't know if she was joking, but these Enviros are just plain weird.

And they say the world hates us because of Bush! Actually when a lefty politician tries telling the world what to do by pushing phony anti progress, anti capitalist nonsense then the rest of the world will no doubt tolerate American imperialism.

"...In his grand bid to save the planet..."

That should read...."In his grand bid to save himself...."

Selling Carbon Credits is just the "Snake Oil de Jour".........the latest Algore religion of Climatology only exposes the sheep who will follow anything - hope they don’t break any of those curly-que energy saving light bulbs which are NOT cost effective if broken...cleaning up the Mercury can cost you thousands.

To his credit, Algore has raised awareness about the Hoax of Global Warming and opened doors that were once closed to the real science about GW. Good on 'ya Al!

I love the fact that Bush invited Uribe to the White House, a not so subtle reminder to Bore that that’s where he will never be.

You know, the basic illiteracy of the “press” continues to astound me. The Ugly American” was a novel about a Peace Corps volunteer who made a difference and was selfless, dedicated and Unfortunately for him, physically unattractive—”ugly”.

Would that there could be more like him.

I detest all journalists as lazy, lying, buffoons, not fit for consumption.

Rats collecting paychecks while ostensibly working in the “private sector”.

Al Gore is the Buffoon in Chief and will be remembered with stinging ridicule in whatever history there remains to write before the end.

I'm not certain that's correct. "The Ugly American" was published in 1958 and the Peace Corps was initiated by JFK in 1961.

Evaporation will wash Global Scamming away. If the earth gets hotter than more water will evaporate making more cooling clouds and rain. Thank God.

There are two types of anti-US people in places like New Zealand. A slight majority of them are leftists no doubt and is against American founding principles. Since American founding ideas are close relatives to contemporary American conservatives, they hate the US. The other type basically hates Americans whoever left or right. Dare I say, if one day the US turns pacifist Noam Chomsky type, these people will switch conservative overnight because it will be the flipping position of US sentiments.
