Rampant Paranoia (Courtesy of Al Gore)
Just when you thought that Al Gore had said too much already, he says something outlandish about the Canadian elections. Here’s a glimpse at Gore’s paranoia:
Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore has accused the oil industry of financially backing the Tories and their “ultra-conservative leader” to protect its stake in Alberta’s lucrative oilsands. Canadians, Gore said, should vigilantly keep watch over prime minister-designate Stephen Harper because he has a pro-oil agenda and wants to pull out of the Kyoto accord, an international agreement to combat climate change.
“The election in Canada was partly about the tar sands projects in Alberta,” Gore said Wednesday while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. “And the financial interests behind the tar sands project poured a lot of money and support behind an ultra-conservative leader in order to win the election…and to protect their interests.”
This proves that Gore isn’t just an American demagogue. This proves that Gore’s an international demagogue now. According to Captain Ed, Canadian conservatives are about where Rudy Giuliani is on the political spectrum. Another person that would fit that description is Gore’s former running mate — Joe Lieberman.
If Gore actually means what he’s saying, which is questionable given his gift of pandering and demagoguery, anyone to the right of Joe Lieberman is “ultra-conservative”. On the other hand, if he’s serious about that, that statement is telling in how far left he’s drifted. I guess it’s proof that the Fever Swamp’s malaria is spreading.
This statement is also proof that Gore views oil as evil and quite possibly as the source of all that’s wrong with the environment. In other words, Gore’s as far out there as the Kossacks and other inhabitants of the Fever Swamp.
I can’t say that I’m surprised.
Darcie Park, spokeswoman for oilsands giant Suncor Energy, said she’s taken aback by Gore’s remarks and hopes they don’t resonate with Canadians. “Our company just doesn’t do business that way. We’re really puzzled about where these comments came from,” she said. “Canadians understand how elections work in Canada and understand there are these very tight restrictions around what individuals and companies can contribute to individual parties or campaigns.”
Ms. Park, the comments came from an out-patient who’s suffering from the most acute case of BDS known to man. Think of it as being slightly more debillitating than the final stages of Alzheimers. It’s tragic when it strikes one so young.

Some comments:
Why be surprised that Gore is inserting himself into Canadian politics? He hand-carried payments from the ChiComs to Billy Bub, so it must be o.k.
Of course oil is the root of all evil. It helps keep the heat off of his tobacco interests. And background.
When one is so far away from the norm, of course everything sane looks to be radical. That’s a lesson for the likes of Tubby (the Swimmer)Teddy, Ol’ Yeller, Chucky Cheesy, Nancy (Drew a Bad Conclusion), and a whole bunch of other donkey leaders.
And finally, how grateful are you that this Tennessee Midget wasn’t in the saddle on 9/11?

Asshat Alert
As if he did not embarrass himself enough in the United States with his stupid remarks, Al Gore is now trying to do the same with Canadian politics. In today’s Calgary Herald (Hat Tip: Drudge), Gore unleashes his alpha-male, angry,

SHUT. YOUR. PIE. HOLE. (take II)
Al Gore, the loser from the 2000 US elections, is looking to score some moonbat points at the expense of us dear Canadians. So it seems that Al Gore is accusing Steven Harper of taking oil money and using it…

Algore seems to have lost all sense. What was he thinking? He must be assuming he will never be president… a pretty good assumption. how on earth does he fix that little outburst.
Everybody got all bent out of shape when Bolton called the nut in North Korea a dangerous whackjob, which of course he is.
What about this?
