Given the review's author doesn't appear to be much of a conservative, it's even more telling
that he finds Al Gore's social fascist 'Mein Kyoto' so incredibly appalling.

Well, he did say it was going to be an “assault on reason,” so everyone was warned.

Gore is insane. I’ve thought that for a long time.

His particular bugbear is that democracy has been subverted by the decline of the printed word -...

Which he single-handedly tries to make-up for with his overly wordy Crazyman manifesto.

Wow. The author seems to have looked the book over in detail.

Good insights.

If Algore was anyone else, he would be in an institution for life.

Hard to believe this psychotic windbag almost became President. Then again, Jimmy Carter DID cease the Presidency for four nightmarish years...

Loved that article. The quotes from the book are hilarious in their nonsensical absurdity.

When applying it to the North American left these days, you might even more accurately add in a second ‘S’.

Al Gore posing as an “intellectual” is MORE of a stretch than saying that Rosie O’Donnell looks better than any woman on the planet in a bikini.

When Al Gore announces he is the Son of God I will not be surprised.

Never has a psuedo-intellectual risen so far in public life, he gives hope to self-obsessed narcissists everywhere. He is no different than a pierced, tattooed, college anarchist listening to Rage Against the Machine wearing his Che’ Guevara shirt, except that we have to listen to his inane ravings.

I agree. But, like Cindy Sheehan, he is being used for ‘the cause’ When ‘global warming’ finally peters out, he will be tossed aside. And the media will circle the wagons to prevent anyone from reminding us that he was, not only stupid, but NUTS, as well.
