Doctor Al Gore
 |
| Another award for Al Gore |
The University of Tennessee, fresh off banning of ownership of handguns by student-athletes, ups its moonbattery status by awarding Al Gore with an honorary doctorate.
The degree – an Honorary Doctor of Laws and Humane Letters in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology – will be given to Gore at the spring commencement exercises of the College of Arts and Sciences on May 14, where he will be the featured speaker.
“Why?” you ask. Let’s see what UT Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek said:
“Vice President Gore’s career has been marked by visionary leadership, and his work has quite literally changed our planet for the better,”
No, this isn’t a joke. He was serious when he said it. Really.
Now, I’m not saying that Gore shouldn’t be given an award or a degree. I’m just not sure that the degree he’s getting is most appropriate.
What awards and degrees should Al Gore have?
- Nobel Prize in Literature (Fiction)
- Bachelor of Settled Science
- Hugo Award
- Doctor of Asshattery
- Master of Arrogance
- Academy Award for Acting … Like An Idiot
I’m sure there are many other awards and degrees that Al Gore should possess.

Dolly Parton is receiving an honorary degree, too. And, I don’t have to tell you what her attributes, er, achievements are.
[She has contributed to reducing global warming. Think of the shade she offers. - B]

Doctorate of hypocrisy

If I were him…I’d be getting rid of the loser ‘global warming’ scam and jump on the ‘global shaking’ bandwagon. There’s a ton of money and awards to be made in global shaking and it’s an area of science that’s ripe for exploitation.

hey, definitely off-topic but on a subject near and dear to us (no, really):

and Gore is still an embarrassment and too thick to realize it.

Master of Hypocrisy.
At least Dolly Parton has used her success to build libraries, and schools in some of the poorest areas of the country, located right in Tennessee. People who are so poor, they can barely afford groceries or to heat their homes. Al Gore, who used to represent those same people, has dedicated his life to raising the price of food and energy.

First be nice to Dolly, she’s a nice lady.
Second the thing you seem to forget here is that Academia does not exist in the real world. Hence the disaster we find ourselves in today. MBA’s and PhD’s making decisions on things they’ve only read about in a text book or simulated on computer.
“What, you mean there are real people affected by this?” “When did that happen?” “Well if they were too stupid not to go to (my $100,000 a year alma mater) college they deserve what they get.” “Stop complaining (about doing twice the work for the same pay or less, including benefits) at least you have a job!”
If you haven’t heard the above don’t be jealous, you will. Al Gore is the poster boy for just about everything that’s wrong with this country. He’s almost as big a laughing stock as the present resident of the White House, but he suffers under a lack of opportunity here. Give him the top job and I’m sure he can Gold Medal in Buffoonery with a chance at a Silver in Charlatanism and a Bronze in Bombastadry.

Hate to break it to those of you who pay to send your kids to such nonsense, but none of what these “professors” “teach” is real. Gore is most likely their hero, as he’s taken it to a whole new level.

Al Gore needs to be indicted for fraud and stripped of every dime he’s made selling phony “carbon credits,” whatever he made from his schlockumentary film and received with his “Nobel prize.” He was a crook when he was VP and he’s just gotten more crooked with time.

Al Gore’s existence already makes me ashamed to be a Tennesseean. But now I’m really glad I didn’t go to UT.

We really need to Tea Party the actual event if not too late. Let them know what we think about cap and trade.
