Taking the gospel to Old Blighty

Al Gore, who aspires to be Mr. Reddy Kilowatt himself, and David Cameron, the grassy-green leader of Britain's Conservatives, are calling in reinforcements. But only each other. Al will take his Sunday-best "earth tones" to London this week to address the Tory shadow Cabinet, a collection of wannabes who would be the actual Cabinet if the Tories could figure out a way to dislodge Tony Blair's Labor government. Mr. Cameron, willing to try everything, wants Al to tell them how to paint Britain a deeper shade of green.

"Mr. Cameron even rides his bicycle to work, where, the late George Wallace would be pleased to know, he's learning to park it straight. This won loud applause -- until it "emerged," as the London newspapers put it -- that Mr. Cameron had assigned his chauffeur to follow behind in his limousine with his briefcase and his office shoes. (Nice briefcase, though, and his shoes look well-made and nicely polished.) "

Typical.

Al Gore, who couldn't gain the presidency, no matter how he cheated or had military votes discounted, is going to advise the Tories on gaining power through environmental lies? You can't make this $&#@ up!

Hilarious stuff as usual from Wes Pruden.

I've been waiting and waiting for the Tories to find their backbone....but Cameron-on-a-bike isn't going to do it for me.

If the Tories form the next government, it will not be because David Cameron won, it will be because Gordon Brown lost.

Cameron needs to be ejected as leader of the Conservative Party, but he will not because of the prospect of an election in the next couple of years.

On Question Time a while ago, young David pointed to "Al Gore's brilliant documentary"

As they say over there....On yer bike!
