Furtive Glances - The "I Blame Gore" Edition

I'm tired, so these will be brief.  Earlier I wrote about why I blame Al Gore for the current partisan mortal combat.  Here are some more looks at Mr. Gore's "influence."

• Ian at Expose The Left has put together a Katie Couric "tribute" as she heads over to the eye.  "Some liberals are up in arms" indeed.  It includes a fawning interview with ... Al Gore.
• I told you about just one of the many things for which I blame Al Gore.  Here's another, in a well-written piece by Holman Jenkins in the Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Gore's next movie should be about the urge to propitiate the gods with sacrifices, a ritual whose appeal did not go out with the Aztecs. Yes, Al, let us give billions to alternative energy bureaucrats and emissions regulators. This we do as a tribute to your shamanism, although it will make little appreciable difference to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

• John Hawkins at Right Wing News, channeling Fark, has some fun at Mr. Gore's expense.
• Wandering further from the real world, Al Gore has sized up the Bush administration and found them to be  ... right-wing extremists.

"If you have a renegade band of right-wing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right," the Democrat was quoted as saying.

"But I haven't moved. I'm where I've always been."

Yes, that's right, the same people who created a huge new government entitlement and are currently at loggerheads with base conservatives over illegal immigration are extremists.   Mr. Gore is truly where he's always been.
