| 'House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated' |
| 2009-04-24 |
| Washington, DC -- UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon. Who needs actual facts when they have an Agenda? "The House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face," Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. "They are cowards." They have to protect their Sugar Daddy, the Global Warming Scare Monger. According to Monckton, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go head to head with Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had "chickened out" and there would be no joint appearance. Gore is scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment's fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing will be held in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building. We can't have our Nobel Prize-winning Conman shown up by an actual Scientist. According to Monckton, House Democrats told the Republican committee staff earlier this week that they would be putting forward an unnamed 'celebrity' as their star witness Friday at a multi-panel climate hearing examining the House global warming bill. The "celebrity" witness turned out to be Gore. Monckton said the GOP replied they would respond to the Democrats' "celebrity" with an unnamed "celebrity" of their own. But Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore. "The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman's (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore's sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear," Monckton said from the airport Thursday evening. I like this man. "Waxman knows there has been no 'global warming' for at least a decade. Waxman knows there has been seven and a half years' global cooling. Waxman knows that, in the words of the UK High Court judge who condemned Gore's mawkish movie as materially, seriously, serially inaccurate, 'the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view,'" Monckton explained. Monckton has previously testified before the House Committee in March. Monckton has also publicly challenged Gore to a debate. So now he has a chance to actually debate and weenies out. What a putz. A call to the Democratic office of the House Energy and Commerce Committee seeking comment was not immediately returned Thursday night. |

| #6 BTW, what is Al Goreloni's electricity and gas bill these days? IIRC, he was using 221,000 KWH of electricity a year. That comes to an average of 18,400 KWH/month. I have a larger sized house in Alaska and I use 8,000 KWH/year. There, I have humiliated Gorelioni. Of course I do not have a 20 room house and an indoor swimming pool. |

| #3 Gore dropped out of law school and flunked out of divinity school. He has no skills. Nothing going for him but a famous daddy. What was left besides politics? But if all you want to do is prevent him from making an ass of himself, sew his lips together and put him in a nice, safe, quiet environment where he can get the help he needs. |

| #2 "The House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated.” The Disciples have spoken! To allow a Flat-Earther in that close of proximity to The Goracle is considerd heresy. And be warned mortals...dare to deny his prophetic power and ye will reap his wrath. |

| #1 Thank you, Deacon, for posting this. I was greatly disappointed this morning to see a post on the 'malnourished beauty queen' and not this news (sarc). You beat me to it. |
