32,000 Leading Scientists? Not Actually. – 32,000 leading scientists signed a petition against global warming? Is that really true? Well, no…. Some of these “leading scientists†have names like Hawkeye Pierce and Ginger Spice. Some are veterinarians or dentists. Only 39 claim to be climatologists. How many really are? Some just have a B.S. degree “or equivalent.†So it seems that just about anybody qualifies as a “leading scientist†according to the global warming deniers standards. These are the same tactics used by the tobacco industry years ago to convince us that there’s no danger from tobacco use. Video at the link.
32,000 Scientists – Or “Equivalent”
How Fitting! Fox News Hires Author of Lie of the Year, Sarah Palin – The “death panels†lie from Sarah Palin was rated as lie of the year by Politifact, a non-partisan organization. That apparently qualifiers her for her new job at Fox News. The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. She fits right in with other Fox personalities such as (Iran-Contra planner) Oliver L. North and (Watergate burglar) G. Gordon Liddy.
Giuliani: No Attacks of Amnesia Under Bush, One Under Obama 😉 – Trying to draw a sharp contrast between the Bush and Obama administrations while appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani said, “I never had an attack of amnesia under Bush, and I’ve had one under Obama.”
The former New York mayor had many nostalgic things to say about the Bush White House, telling host George Stephanopoulos, “Under Bush, we never had any flooding in New Orleans or economic meltdowns.”
When asked if he was considering running for president, Mr. Giuliani said, “That’s something I’d like to try once before I die.”
Underscoring his concern about the attacks of memory loss under Obama, Mr. Giuliani said, “Where am I again, and how did I get here?”
Mr. Giuliani concluded the interview by drooling on his shirt.
