Steve Fielding’s wife has written an article for The Punch.
In the article, Steve (via Susan) trots out all of the lines he’s being spewing into the media recently about looking at both sides of the story, the science not being settled, and pretty graphs presenting arbitrarily-selected data proving something or other (Tobias covers this in more detail over at Pure Poison.) But the most brilliant moment of deluded madness is this:
I briefly met Mr Gore at a breakfast in Melbourne attended by more than a thousand people. He was aware of the important role Family First plays in the senate and was keen to catch up.
After a series of phone calls I was met with a stonewall of resistance. I offered to meet Mr Gore at any place at any time but had no luck. Here we had the former Vice President of the United States, a self proclaimed climate change preacher running away from me over a few simple questions.
Don’t you know who I am? I am the leader of a Party of one that on the basis of 50,000 votes is holding the Upper House of Australia’s Parliament to ransom in a futile effort to get myself re-elected in 2010.
Steve’s just pissed off that he paid for dry cleaning for nothing.
I knew it! Those Obama-is-a-Mooooooslem nutters at A Western Heart aren’t nutters, and Andrew “Al Gore is fat” Bolt’s rantings aren’t rantings. US President Barack Obama and former Vice President Al Gore are both knowingly profiting from the swine flu outbreak that isn’t an accident of nature but is actually a bio-terrorism attack.
The latest bioterrorism attack by the New World Order is likely a beta test. Yes, it is a bioterrorism attack. It was a hybrid strain created from human, swine, and bird flu from North America, Europe, and Asia. It was created in a laboratory. This doesn’t happen in nature.

You might want to question who is making a profit on this as well. Barack Obama, Al Gore, and Donald Rumsfeld all own shares of the company who makes the Tamiflu drug to treat this virus.
Apparently swine flu is an effort by the “ruling elite” to reduce the world’s population. It is by the same people who put flouride in your water “causing your brain, liver, and bones to rot and decay” because “the government hates you and wants to kill you”.
You heard it here first.
It’s raining, it’s pouring in Melbourne. Global warming has been definitively debunked.
I guess the wingnuts were right all along: Al Gore is a fatty boombalada.
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?
