'The Birth of Climate Pork'

The unholy alliance between Algore and Barry O.

Noteworthy:

"But the former veep is perfectly in sync with Mr. Obama. Energy taxes popular with the left but unpopular with voters will soon be off the table to preserve his second-term hopes. But that doesn't mean an end to 'climate policy, ' which can still be used to foster a network of trade groups willing to kick back some of their taxpayer subsidies to maintain Democrats in power. This will do nothing for climate change (and indeed nothing proposed or entertained in Washington would make a difference to climate). But it will help cement Democratic ascendancy over Washington's iron triangle of interest groups, politicians and the bureaucracy.

Indeed, Mr. Gore, as an investor and promoter of several green energy funds himself, is a walking conflict of interest here -- one whose bogus credibility Mr. Obama will happily make use of. Alinsky would be proud."

What a deal!

Al the Hypocrite continues to amass wealth on the back of carbon demonization, and Barry O entrenches himself in the Dem/Lefty/"Progressive" Business as Usual cabal.

Hope 'n Change, indeed!
