Bonus gem

Michele Bachmann has proved time and again she's not really playing with a full deck of cards. Which means this gem from a campaign rally earlier today isn't too surprising (via Joe Romm):

"I pledge to you I’m not a talker. I’m a doer... And I guarantee you the EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) will have doors locked and lights turned off and they will only be about conservation. It will be a new day and a new sheriff in Washington, D.C.”

Yet another voice in Washington that's finally giving Al Gore's claims the credibility they deserve. Which means this gem from his speech at the Aspen Institute this week is even better:

"They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: 'This climate thing, it's nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn't trap heat. It's not -- It may be volcanoes.' Bullshit! 'It may be sun spots.' Bullshit! 'It's not getting warmer.' Bullshit!
