Another “Jones” bites the dust........
Piltdown Man
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man
In 1923, Franz Weidenreich examined the remains and correctly reported that they consisted of a modern human cranium and an orangutan jaw with filed-down teeth. Weidenreich, being an anatomist, had easily exposed the hoax for what it was.
However, it took thirty years for the scientific community to concede that Weidenreich was correct.

Here’s how the “investigation” will go down:
INVESTIGATOR: May we have your data, Mr. Jones, so that we might verify it?
JONES: Sorry, I destroyed it.
INVESTIGATOR: Well, we can’t convict without evidence, so our investigation is complete. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Jones!
My Dogma ate my homework.
This demonstrates that, despite conservative fears that the American MSM will bury the story, the scandal is serious, material, and has legs. The email participants are done, kaput, laughingstocks in their profession. There’s no way to rehabilitate Nixonian characters trapped by their own words.
I hope this is not cosmetic - a temporary step down until he is ‘vindicated’
I trust none of these frauds
I live where a glacier ended long before the impact of man on this environment. The idea that temperatures were stagnant was ridiculous and that a one degree or three degree difference in temperature over a hundred year cycle was cataclysmic was to disregard all that we knew about recorded history.
The trouble for the Global Warming crowd is that they should now know that people like Al Gore was playing them for fools all along. All this time they were convinced that they were the smartest, coolest, most informed group when now that the facts are emerging, they are being shown to be utter and complete fools by the very people who they idolized.

Let an outsider look over the data. Same with Kerry’s military record (which he only showed to a friendly Boston Glob reporter).
If there is nothing “improper”, it would bear stury skeptical review.
Bernie Madoff got life in prison for defrauding people. What should Al Gore’s sentence be for his role in this financial scam?
The idiot perpetrators of the fraud made the mistake of trying to cover up the fraud. Are they so stupid they don’t realize all they have to do is proclaim that which will weaken America and the leftist media will regurgitate it on command? They don’t need any stinking data!

Looking forward to seeing masses of GW investors sue the hide off Al Gore when their stock values plummet.
Ha! Thanks for the laugh!
LOL!
