It goes on like this for the rest of the column. Conspicuously absent, of course, is any mention of the widespread ridicule Gore's magnum opus has earned for innaccuracy.

The first paragraph is classic, though. "If the Supreme Court had done the right thing," indeed. Didn't the New York Times itself report that Bush would have won the recount?

I guess it's true. The NYT editorial staff doesn't read their own news page.

Science? Sorry NYT, but that should read “Science” complete with scare quotes. “Consensus” is insufficient to validate a hypothesis and cooked data is a dish best left unserved.

There is only one appropriate reaction to this NY Slimes editorial

One can generate a lot of heartburn thinking about all of the things that would be better about this country and the world if the Supreme Court had done the right thing and ruled for Al Gore instead of George W. Bush in 2000.

You can stop reading right there. I know I did.

People who open with such a line might as well take a Sharpie and write "I AM A BITTER IDIOT" across their foreheads.

OK. I clicked thru to the link. But I watch NASCAR for the wrecks, so sue me.

It is the standard unhinged rant, it's all Bush's fault, with a little bit of his Oil Bidniz Buddies thrown in for good measure. How can one be so uninformed and still get a job writing editorials for the New York Times?

The United States has come closer to achieving the targets of Kyoto than any industrialized country besides Russia, which has managed to fail itself into compliance.

It’s not the Nobel Peace Prize.
