Washington Post op-ed writer Richard Cohen is concerned that “Climate Change May Be Ruin of Perry Campaign.” Far less clear was whether he regards that imminent ruination to be a bad thing, or rather, a cause for celebration. There are excellent reasons to suspect the latter.
Cohen doesn’t hold a very high opinion of the Texas governor, of anyone who doesn’t buy into the notion of a looming global man-made global warming disaster, or of Republicans. Referring to Perry in an Aug. 22 Washington Post article, he opined “It’s not his thinking I fear, it’s the lack of any at all.”
Cohen observed that “[Perry] occupies the cultural and intellectually empty heartland of the Republican party.” The article scorned Perry for publicly stating that he stood with an increasing number of scientists who have challenged the existence of man-made global warming threats, commenting “…whoever they (italics noted) might be. In Appleton, Wis., Sen. Joe McCarthy’s skeleton rattled a bit.” His reference to McCarthy went on to elaborate that “The late and hardly lamented demagogue pioneered the use of the concocted statistic” in suggesting that communists were literally everywhere. He further amplified “There were some, of course, just as there are some scientists who are global warming skeptics, but these few – about 2% of climate researchers – could hold their annual meeting in a phone booth, if there are any left. (Perhaps 2% of scientists think they are).”
This would require a pretty big phone booth,.....
Since 2007 more than 31,000 American scientists from diverse climate-related disciplines, including more than 9,000 with Ph.D.s, have signed a public petition announcing their belief that “…there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause...

That is a great poster...love it.
It’s a shame you didn’t use “moral courage.”
Now, you’re telling us that you believe that it takes “manparts” to be invested with “moral courage.” Bet that would shock a lot of women, including “fight like a girl,” “Mama Grizzley,” Governor Palin.
You nailed it. I am not all that firmly in his camp but given the vitriol against the man, I checked him out for myself and truth be known, there are a few things there to give me pause.
But given his record on jobs and economic issues combined with a strong 2A record, strong pro-life cred AND the fact that he was good enough for Palin to endorse?
I’m on board for now.
It takes moral courage to stand for something and you’re showing that you don’t have it. I’m not sure what Sarah Palin has to do with anything.
BTW you might notice that I’m not some coward who needs to call in reinforcements. Apparently you clowns don’t scare me as much as you think you should.
Cohen displaying his body temperature IQ.
Perhaps dumber.
Community organizers averagely top journalists on the IQ scale by 3.2 pts.
LOL
