In an interview to be aired on the CBS "Early Show" Wednesday, Nobel Laureate Al Gore read his global warming poem to Harry Smith.

Even worse, the 23-year CBS veteran journalist, almost like a teenybopper swooning as she approaches a rock star for an autograph, actually asked the former Vice President to read it to him.

When the Global Warmingist-in-Chief was done, Smith said breathlessly, "Wow. I'm so glad you read that...I'm happy to hear it in your voice."

Readers are cautioned to stow liquids and flammables at a safe distance before proceeding (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Story Balloon):

HARRY SMITH, HOST: You've written plenty of words before, but to the best of my knowledge, I'm not sure I've ever seen you write a poem before. Is that true?

AL GORE: That's true. Yeah.

SMITH: So, just for us, if you don't mind, would you, would you read the poem?

GORE: Sure. You want me to tell you what it's about?

SMITH: Please.

GORE: The impacts of the climate crisis really do not make up the focus of "Our Choice." "Our Choice" is about the solutions to the climate crisis. But in a brief summary of the impacts and what their implications are, rather than go into them in detail, I just, kind of did some brushstrokes, and don't claim to be a poet. It's just how it came out.

One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun

Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Neptune's bones dissolve

Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly

Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning's celebration

Unknown creatures
Take their leave, unmourned
Horsemen ready their stirrups

Passion seeks heroes and friends
The bell of the city
On the hill is rung

The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools

SMITH: Wow. I'm so glad you read that. I was, really, I'm very happy...

GORE: Thanks for asking me.

SMITH: I'm happy to hear it in your voice.

GORE: Well, thank you.

Readers are advised that Gore is WAY too busy to discuss climate change with John Stossel, and is WAY too busy to answer questions about ClimateGate.

However, he's NEVER too busy to read poetry to journalists.

Hey -- a Nobel Laureate has to have priorities, right?

Amazing

It is astounding to watch these media dunces slobber all over people like Al Gore.  Amazing.

Al Gore is a moron...

Could there be a worse representative for his cause.  The guy has the charisma of led turd.

 

Can you tell a Conservative or Liberal by how they look?

Thats just about .......

as PITIFUL as it gets!!!

Here's something Al Gore can

Here's something Al Gore can read: the emails, doucuments and the source code from the climategate scandal. Read them out loud for everyone to hear.

One of Beck's radio side kicks has been doing amazing impersonations of OwlGore all week. The poems they come up with are HILARIOUS!

Well,

if his movie was worth an Oscar, this poem should get him the Nobel for literature.  I'm fairly sure that even if he didn't write it, nobody else would step forward to take credit instead.

He's starting to remind me of the boss on "The Office" -- either crazy or stupid, but nobody's brave enough to call him on it.

Obama clearly made a big

Obama clearly made a big mistake in choosing his innaguration poetry. Instead of that stuff Elizabeth Alexander read, he could have chosen Al Gore's wonderful stuff.

A Poem for Algore:

I’m a lying despot

rich and stout

I like attention

I like to spout.

Deniers get me steamed up,

Then I shout

“Don’t dispute me,

It wigs me out!”

good one, mattm

You missed the Al Gore poetry blog a few days ago, LOL.

I think it was Friday.  Anway, yours is right up there.  NB's rule!!!!

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Thanks.  I posted this

Thanks.  I posted this before.  Maybe it was in the entry you're talking about.  I just thought I'd post it again.

It astounds me....

.....that the American public hasn't figured this guy out.  This is truely sickening and insulting to my intelligence.  Come on!!

 

Contempt prior to investigation is ignorance.

Later...

Al and Harry shared a cup of ginger tea and a big fat spleef of Humboldt County's finest.

Tears

Tears are streaming down my face so fast that I might dehydrate. But not from reading the poem. But because of what  complete road apples that Harry Smith and the other Goralites have become.

Road apples??

Never heard that phrase....What does it mean??

 

Paarl

Paarl....

Horse s***.

I didn't realize that was an Americanism, lol.

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

LOL....road patties in Rhodesia

Paarl of Rhodesia (of blessed memory)

Road apples.

Horse s**t.

Gore certainaly has diarrea of the mouth.

Haiku To You

Last week Redeye's Bill Schulz did a haiku-style poem in reaction to Algore:

A Polar Bear screams                                                             

Tears no longer drip from its eyes                                           

Might as well eat it

Some think this is sympathetic to the ecos (I'm not sure how), others see it as a mockery of Algore. That's the beautiful thing about poetry: you can interpret it any way you want!

This haiku has an extra

This haiku has an extra syllable.  

So scratch the first "A"

Cooked Data

Well, if cooked data didn't get the job done, let's hope an insincere and shamefully manipulative poem about 'stuff' directly connected to the expansion of his bank statement will!!!  Remember...the liberal motto; 'no level too low to stoop to get the upper hand in power to be used to exploit those needed to retain said power.'

So he is too busy to interview with anybody on Fox eh, but he has time for Harry. al-Gore, only has time for those who agree with him or won't ask him hard questions. The debate is over. (Before it even began.

The Unedited Interview

SMITH: Wow. I'm so glad you read that. I was, really, I'm very happy...

GORE: Thanks for asking me. I was really really high when I wrote it.

SMITH: I'm happy to hear it in your voice. Can we get high later and you can read it again?

GORE: It's very difficult to decline invitations such as yours, but it's an unfortunate inevitability of the growing influence of the climate crisis message ....

(They are silent for a moment and then both burst out laughing)

GORE: Of course! Oh man, you have to hear it when you're on peyote, I read it to Bubba when we were tripping and he started freaking out, man.

if there is a God

if there is a God, a parody of Gore reading his poem, complete with wearing a Rasta wig and outfit, will end up on SNL......

what

Was this a man crush moment??? not that theres anything wrong with that....lol

lol

Just like Chris Matthews...

Harry Smith needs help.

How would you like to be one of his kids in high school?

If Harriet actually has

If Harriet actually has HS-school aged kids, I'm betting they go to the Aloysius Q. Packingham Academy or a "similar institution".

Here are Gore's tools

Gore seems to have forgotten the paragraph where he puts a billion dollars in his jeans.

URP URP ...

*BLETCH*

The only thing more...

...the only thing more disgusting than Algore is the slobbering, enabling zombies like Smith who continue to masquerade as journalists.

This sort of blind devotion never leads to any good...

 

d*

This is the same stupid poem

This is the same stupid poem he read to some reporter, isn't it? Oh my. This is insane! An idiotic poem about the earth dying is being read on TV. Are the schools going to start reciting it? I actually won't be surprised if some teacher makes their kids memorize this thing.

Chris Matthews gets a thrill....

Harry Smith gets a global hot flash.

I want to be a woman!

I'm sorry, Al

I'm sorry, Al who?

ugh,

Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth...

It sounds even dumber when read by someone with a C average. 

A Christmas Story

Al Gore, standing on the sidewalk, looking at his faked nobel peace prize standing in the window. Harry Smith, one of the dumbest journalists alive, standing next to him, looking at it in awe:

Al Gore: It's a Major Award!
Harry Smith: Shucks, I wouldn't know that. It looks like a lamp.
Al Gore: What is a lamp, you nincompoop? It's a Major Award. I won it!
Harry Smith: Damn, hell, you say won it?
Al Gore: Yeah, mind power, Harry; mind power.

At a younger age, Al Gore plays Ralphie:

R-Al-phie has to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun is the best gift in the world. His chance comes when the teacher, Mrs. Harry Smith, assigns the students to write a poem: How to survive in a Global Warming World. As R-Al-phie turns in his poem, he imagines Mrs. Smith giving him an A + + + + + , and being carried off on his classmates' shoulders as a hero.....

My vision, of course, is him being carried off in handcuffs, but heck, that's just me -- the way all my movies end.

harry smith & al gore

harry smith is such a spineless wimp, an examination of his back would probably show his backbone is made of Jello. And what else is there to say about al gore? 

My goodness.It's hard to

My goodness.It's hard to believe this is real.We are in some strange times.

OBX.. yes we are. I am

OBX.. yes we are.

I am reminded of an old Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie, The Gay Divorcee (1934), where Ginger (Harriet Smith playing the role) is singing The Continental to Astaire (Gore).

If I may change the words a bit to suit the occasion:

"I find while you're reciting your poetry
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul,
A certain cash flow you can control,
And you will do the Global Warming dance all the time."

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

AG: Is that a rainbow your

AG: Is that a rainbow your wearing Harry, or are you just glad to see me?

I'm sure

Harry was trying to be nice.  I'm also sure he would do the same if Sarah Palin had written a poem.

The Debate We Never Had

Rub a dub dub

Thanks for the snub,

Al Gore.

. . . and from Mrs. Galvanic:

There once was a man named Gore,

whose cheesy ole poem did us bore,

When talk would begin

he'd declare "The facts are all in

so we won't discuss any more."

 

 

 

Is Harry Smith the stupidest man on tv?

This clip strongly suggests "yes."

 Two homos.

 Two homos.

"Wow. I'm so glad you read

"Wow. I'm so glad you read that...I'm happy to hear it in your voice."

After which Harry Smith pulls out two knee pads and addresses Gore: "Mr Gore are  you ready for my close up?" 

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

 

Losing faith

Reminds me of the pandering teacher in KinderGarten ... and all the teacher's pets clamoring to please them by any means.

OK, so when these

OK, so when these "journalists" insist they're unbiased and so on and so on, do they really believe that or are they consciously lying?

"Under Capitalism, man exploits man.  Under Communism it's just the opposite."

"All that Communism needs to make it successful is for someone to feed and clothe it."

I am happy to hear it in your voice....

said Harry..........................................as he pulled out his favorite Kevin Jennings kit for lovers and the two proceeded to roll around on the floor together.

Ah, nothing more uplifting than true love.

"Life is like a red hot planet......"

    I'm amazed that these self inflated media personalities hang on every word that Forrest Gore utters, they doggie hump the dumbest dog in the pound's leg and pretend they have dignity.....

"roses are red, the earth's core is a million degrees, help me cool it, help me please......." 

profound...... Harry Smith is nothing but sad. "It was an honor to hump your leg...."

Normally one would say "don't give up your day job Fat Al. "

But as that job is trying to destroy the American economy, and return the world to the stone age, whilst enriching yourself, I'll say please do... and concentrate on lameass, kindergarten scribblings instead.

Hey Al

Here is another one you won't / can't answer.

We have had 7 ices ages with transitions from hot to cold and back.  Before man burned his first piece of coal,  7 transitions in climite have occurred.  So how is it now man made?

Also of note.  Since most of the population are over 10 years old.  Do you think telling us that it is the warmest decade when we have experienced otherwise will "sell" your cause and convince rational people?

A simple tribute to our new Poet Laureate.....

There was a crooked man
Who smiled a crooked smile.
He wrote insipid poetry
And bored us all the while.
He told a crooked story
To sell his crooked themes,
But only the crooked libtards
Bought into that crazy-a$$ed sh*t that retarded SOB was trying to peddle, as he was attempting to screw us to line his own pockets.

Burma Shave

Newsflash: There is actual footage of Harry preparing for his interview with the Goracle.

Great, yobobbyb

Let's get a true Burma Shave road sign in here:

A poem by Al
  Makes Harry sigh;
    It's on a sign now,
       We'd love to see it
          But the snow's too high!

BTW, what's with Al's big book as shown in the picture caption?

Could he ever be a bigger p***y than he is now?  I mean having a crush-reaction to a poem reading??  By the man who would be Owl?

I'm disgusted!

Some where

Hippies are snapping there fingers.

I was waiting for Harry to go over and start making out with Gore-a-suarous.

Oh please get that image out of my head! 

Liberalism: The haunting feeling that someone, somewhere, can help themselves.

lol "The kiss"!

lol

"The kiss"!

Did they get a room afterwards?

Looked like Gore was cooing into the wanton ears of Harry. Their eyes gazing upon one another. Why, one could almost make a case that they alone brought about a slight increase in the earth's temperature. 

 

           These

           These guys need to get a room.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

oh please! how tacky is

oh please! how tacky is this.. this gets my vote for worst media bias!
