To accurately classify the class-challenged Kenny Turan, picture the middle-brow movie reviewer perched, pertly, on the considerable lap of the regrettable – and aptly named – Al Gore.
Surely gore is what springs to the fore when you think of the No. 1 American dupe for the enduring comedy sketch known as global climate warming change.
Taken seriously only by those with less than a kindergarten education, Al the Pal of Climate Change has ignited more laughter than Red Skelton, Chris Rock, Milton Berle, Jim Bulger and Jack Martz cumulatively.
Mr. Turan of the Los Angeles Times, one of the oldest, politically liberalist film reviewers on the planet, flashed his boyish fawning gene in the gory interview that required two large towels to keep drying your leaky face.
How could the latter-day Mr. T maintain a vertical expression while interviewing perhaps the century’s leading political fool?
Mr. T opens by drooling over how coolly Al the Pal is garbed –a reasonably recently laundered white shirt and suit.
I fell away in shock. Scarcely was I motivated to continue this tantalizing tale of How Many Times Can a Single Lightweight Comedian Be Wrong?
Al the Pal has been proven wrong about global warming/cooling/whatever more times than a street-corner preacher or Hussein Obama on proclamations from the White House.
Al the Pal believes in his nonsensical theory about climate change as surely as real people believe the sky is blue.
Pity is the unavoidable response while choking on his unpalatable dialogue.
Promoting familiar fibs in his latest “documentary,” called “An Inconvenient Sequel,” due July 28, Al the Pal relates a series of global warming fairy tales.
Mr. T’s panting unaccountably accelerates. This may be because he has been diagnosed as incapable of doubting a liberal politician.
At the end, Mr. T defogged his glasses and opened his eyes for the first time.
He thanked Al the Pal for his tutorial in global warming nonsense.
Only then did Al the Pal utter to Mr. T the six words that will be chalked onto his headstone:
“Once again I was dead wrong.”
