“Why would he run for president when he can be a demigod?” said Representative Rahm Emanuel, Democrat of Illinois, who was a top aide in the Clinton White House. “He now towers over all of us because he’s pure.”It seems appropriate at this point to recall one of the last intellectually credible Democrats, (aside from Sen. Joe Lieberman, whom the Kossacks kicked out of the party) the late, great, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and his comment on defining deviancy down. The Democrats have lowered the bar into the dust with all their empty posturing and alarmism---and their definition of purity.
All this homage to a man who is the epitome of a hypocritical Lear Jet Liberal and who earns income from selling phony carbon credits. At least he shows some good sense:
Even former President Jimmy Carter, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, weighed in. “I’ve called Al Gore and urged him to run for president so many times,” he said Friday on “Today” on NBC-TV. “He finally told me the last time, ‘President Carter, please do not call me.’”P.S. We have a related story in the Times about the new landed gentry. Rich liberals, having killed off the livelihoods of timber harvesters in the West (exporting jobs to Canada) are now buying up the land to develop their personal playgrounds (jetting in from time to time.)
On the borders of national parks and forests.
We are paying for their view. And some are limiting access to our forests.
Ah, but they have that messianic vision. For themselves.
(Oh, no, who will thin the trees now to prevent sweeping forest fires?)
UPDATE: The Swamp's take.
UPDATE: From beyond the pond, Damian Thompson, The Telegraph:
The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?
