Ulterior Motives

A good Friday morning laugh to start the day. No there is nothing new on the Crazed Sex Poodle,  formerly known as Al Gore.  Politico had this video posted and it has gotten 20,000 views in a few hours.  This is possibly the most honest political ad you will ever watch.  If only all politicians would freely admit that all their motives were ulterior:

Laurie David Wrote the end of the Al & Tipper "Love Story" - UPDATE: Laurie David denies

Via Memeorandum

Star Magazine has the scoop on the break up of the "Love Story" couple Al and Tipper Gore:

In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper's breakup didn't come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard summer home.

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," an insider tells Star. "It couldn’t be avoided."

So it was as inevitable as global warming or something.

The Lonely Conservative wonders What Kind of Woman Would Have an Affair With Al Gore? upon seeing the first sign of the siren at Drudge. She follows with the update:

Update: Doug Powers on Twitter: Al doesn’t call it an “affair”; but a “marriage offset” – heh!

Update: Duh! Al had an affair with a fellow traveler.

Maggie's Notebook has more.

UPDATE:  Oh well, shows over folks:

A close friend of both Al and Tipper Gore's laughed at the report and said there was nothing to it. "It's complete crap," he said.

"The story is completely untrue," Laurie David said in a statement.

"It's a total fabrication. I adore both Al and Tipper. I look at them both as family. And I have happily been in a serious relationship since my divorce."

A Gore spokeswoman said Gore would not comment on the stream of stories about his separation. He normally refuses

Snow Day!

Senator Jim DeMint tweets

Considering we are currently getting hit with another big snowstorm, I think Al Gore has some 'splainin to do.

Schools were closed quite early tonight which made my son pretty happy.  My husband is planning on working from home today, so full house here.  I will probably end up playing short order cook for the day while they enjoy their snow day.   Fortunately I made the trek to the supermarket to pick up all the essentials like milk, eggs and bread in case we are trapped at home for a month or something.  I think I have enough on hand to make french toast for the entire state of Rhode Island if need be.  Well, it's a pretty small state as states go but you know what I mean.

If you are in line to get hit with this snowstorm, I hope you enjoy your snow day.  Don't worry about global warming, the MSM has already thought up an explanation why these storms actually confirm global warming. Whew, that's a relief, now if they ever get around to covering the complete breakdowns at IPCC and the giant holes blown in the science in the last few months we might actually get somewhere.  Till then I am sure they will continue to ignore the men behind the curtain:

Al Gore's Current TV Takes a Dig at Obama's Peace Prize

Current TV, the independent cable network led by former VP Al Gore aired this cartoon parody of Obama's acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. The cartoon character Thorbjorn Jagland is just a tad reluctant to hand over the medal to Obama in light of the decision to send additional troops to Afghanistan. The decision "feels very Bushy." Evidently Al and libs have a hard time with the decision despite Obama's repeated campaign promise to focus on finishing the job in Afghanistan. Is it me or did everyone who voted for Obama just hear what they wanted to hear during that campaign?

Jon Stewart Tackles Hacked Global Warming Emails

Unlike the rest of the MSM, Jon Stewart acknowledges the leaked emails from the CRU at the University of East Anglia.  It doesn't convince him there's no man made global warming, however, this will get the news out to a wide audience who tend to get their news from "the Daily Show" or "Colbert."  Stewart starts with a reminder of the ACORN scandal and moves on to the hacked emails which get a full airing to some of the most damaging emails.  At the very least the scandal has given true believers pause to think about the credibility of the scientists.  There are some great lines here including, “Poor Al Gore. Global warming debunked via the very Internet you invented.”

Allahpundit notes Jim Inhofe, who gets his share of ribbing in this piece, must be fairly happy with the attention:

No less a skeptic than Jim Inhofe was sufficiently pleased with this bit to post it to his own YouTube account, even though its primary target ultimately is, er, Jim Inhofe. Think of it as the “Daily Show” equivalent of Obama’s new timetable: Very far from ideal, but probably the best you’re going to do from a lefty.
