PATRICK'S DAY

And from the Patriot Post:

John Kerry, the nuanced erstwhile presidential candidate and self-proclaimed war hero, has now published an inconvenient book on global warming. This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future, written by Kerry and his wife, Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry, will be released on 26 March. As if Kerry himself weren’t absurd enough, he laments “Even caring about the environment has been marginalized in recent years by a calculated assault from special interests” —obviously code for “free enterprise.” Al Gore offered great praise to the book, and to “John and Teresa [who] have been long-time leaders in the battle to save the Earth’s environment.”

First Gore and now Kerry. Both lost an election to George W. Bush and took up the cause of global warming to put meaning back into life. Then again, as Ronald Reagan once quipped, “Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.”
