This week’s edition of Political Humor Quick Hits is about Gore’s firing, Obama’s newly-found testes, and light bulbs.

Gore Told to Stay Home

Al Gore has warned the world about CO2 being a pollutant as far back as the first time he figured out he could profit from a society ignorant in basic science knowledge.

I am kidding of course. Al Gore does not much about science either. He gives a hell of a sales pitch though, enough to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Yet, for all the tireless work he has done to con-vince people CO2 has killed millions of every species on the planet already, Nancy Pelosi told him to stay home last week and work the phones instead:

“It’s a question of what was energy efficient for the vice president,” Pelosi said of the decision to keep Gore in Tennessee. “We were narrowing the list of the undecideds. We had a great narrowing of the undecideds.”

Wow. I know Pelosi thinks she runs the Democratic Party but she essentially told the spokesperson for the Climate Change Boogeyman to do the job of a political staffer.

Does Jerry Lewis tell his celebrity guests to man the phones during his telethons?

Even though Gore lost his job as Head Whiner On Climate Change he is probably crying crocodile tears. He does have that cap-and-trade company of his to fall back on.

Obama Talks Tough About Democracy

Our President recently let his thoughts on democracy be known:

In Washington, Obama said the United States will “stand on the side of democracy” and work with other nations and international groups to resolve the matter peacefully.

Was he talking about Iran?

No, silly. They have nukes. He said this about Honduras, a nation following the historic tradition of Latin American countries over the weekend:

Police and soldiers clashed with thousands of protesters outside Honduras’ national palace Monday, leaving at least 15 people injured, as world leaders from Barack Obama to Hugo Chavez demanded the return of a president ousted in a military coup.

The key to Democratic diplomacy, well besides appeasement, is only say harsh words about countries that you know you can easily beat. Or the ones that oust other leftist leaders.

The moonbats do have to stick up for their own after all.

“We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there,” Obama said.

Yeah, that is the funny thing about a coup: they don’t check with their lawyers first.

Obama Rewards GE With Light Bulb Sales

File this one under the “taking care of those who got me elected” section…

Aiming to keep the focus on climate change legislation, President Barack Obama put a plug in for administration efforts to make lamps and lighting equipment use less energy:

“I know light bulbs may not seem sexy, but this simple action holds enormous promise because 7 percent of all the energy consumed in America is used to light our homes and businesses,” the president said, standing alongside Energy Secretary Steven Chu at the White House.

Au contraire Mr. President. Revenue enhancement is very sexy to General Electric, a company which coincidentally gave over $2 million dollars to the Democrats in 2008.

Of course it is also just coincidence that GE put off selling their lighting division back in December.

Funny, when it comes to the Republicans everything they do is a concerted conspiracy. When it comes to Democrats these things are simply coincidences.
