Whitehouse was not on BO's "white" short list. He is asking interesting questions, sadly her responses are not as "crisp" as I would like. Judge Sotomayor, has from the constitutional questions asked of her, come up short with her responses. She certianly has some great listening skills, which are to her credit, but I am not impressed with the PC responses to valid general inquries. I wonder why Sen.

He has more going for him than Gore does. I would like to see a Palin movie refuting the "Inconvenient Truth" and refuting that drilling in the proposed 3 square miles would harm the 586,412 square miles of Alaska... and bring in actual scientists, geologists and animal experts for this.

More Gore... A British judge has ruled that British schools cannot just show the film "An Inconvenient Truth" to British students as factual because it contains at least nine scientific errors. If they show the film at all, the teachers must point out the errors and current actual facts about global warming. Wow, are the wheels coming off the global warming bus or what? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7037671.stm Well since this is the open thread and since we are all going to be the “wiser” with Sotomayor regardless… More Gore… A British judge has ruled that British schools cannot just show the film “An Inconvenient Truth” to British students as factual because it contains at least nine scientific errors.
