Playing the man, not the ball

A new tactic from Andrew Bolt in his ongoing campaign to disprove human-induced climate change: call Al Gore fat.
Reader Babs wants Al Gore to offer the offsets that will really benefit humanity:
I’m waiting for someone… ANYONE… to come up with a Calorie Offset programme. If it works the same as “Carbon Offsetting”, just think. I can eat whatever I like but as long as I hand over cash, I’ll never put on weight!
Two points:
1) This is the kind of informed, intellectual commentary that makes Andrew Bolt such a respected member of the journalism profession; and
2) How long before Timmeh Blair adopts the same tactic as part of Andy and Timmeh’s ongoing groupthink campaign?
