ADAMS IS A CONSERVATIVE?
Phillip Adams interviews P.J. O’Rourke, whom he describes as an exception to the rule that conservatives are “pompous, dull, pretentious, or all three”.
UPDATE. A recent print contribution from hurricane expert Adams:
It’s widely accepted that Katrina was conjured in the cauldron of climate change ...
It is?

It’s widely accepted that Katrina was conjured in the cauldron of climate change
Well, sorry about that. It seems I put a few too many bat wings in the potion. But no harm done, eh? I mean I’m not an expert on potions yet and besides, the cat startled me, it was an accident, I only meant to put a couple wings in, not the whole barrel.
O’Rourke isn’t a conservative. He’s a libertarian.
Adams is an undiscerning buffoon.
Posted by James Waterton on 2007 03 17 at 09:26 AM • permalinkI’ve been saying all along that it’s widely accepted that climate change destroyed New Orleans. Not the Japanese weather machine hooked up on the orbital space station. The one with both buttons and an operators manual written in Japanese script. (By the way, does anyone know the Japanese word for OFF?)
I think some apologies are in order. Starting with paco, Richard McEnroe, RebeccaH, and Michael Lonie. Reparations would be appropriate also.

Unfortunately, it also happens to be utter bulls**t. Rather like our friend the plastic turkey. Just another widely accepted myth held by our learned lefty brethren.

But of course. As we all know, no category 3 hurricane had ever hit the state of Louisiana before. Jeez, what a dumb-ass.

I hate that format, a talking head (Sandra Sully speaking from the diaphragm -that’s gotta hurt her!), a studio audience - at least it didn’t have Ray Martin. I’m thankful for small mercies.
*another sign of
global warmingclimate change.Many years ago Adams interviewed Roger Scruton on his ABC program. He described Professor Scruton in similar glowing terms: “A conservative I could actually like”. Roger Scruton politely and eruditely punctured all of Adams’ assertions, leaving him floundering. Adams had no idea he’d been made a fool of.
Adams’ trouble is that he doesn’t get out in the real world enough.
Posted by walterplinge on 2007 03 17 at 05:04 PM • permalinkDon’t lie, David. Hurricane Katrina was the very first devastating storm in US history. We had no storms to speak of until global warming began creating them in 1998, right after the Kyoto treaty was voted down 95-0 by the US Senate (back when the Senate had 95 Republicans, of course). You can see from this list that there were no other storms earlier than that. Just hold your hand over the page and scroll down until you get to 1998. Don’t let your eyes be corrupted by reports of earlier storms in the preceding entries. They were planted there by meteorologists in the pay of Big Oil.

The suspicously shaped tenticle beasts in the locked room speac fluent Japanese. They may need some “encouragement” to spill the beans though.

The Left, including Adams, widely accepted :
That the Gulf War and the overthrow of Saddam both would be long, bloody disasters for the US,
That there would be many years of ecological disaster in Kuwait.
That Chernobyl would kill 100,000s by radiation
That the Coalition in Iraq has killed 650,000+ Iraqis in 4 years.Adams equates ‘widely-accepted’ with ‘true’ -the fool simply reveals whom he talks to constantly…

Caught that one in the car the other day.
Have to agree with the commenter re Adams’ very audible licking of lips and breathing into the mic ... it seems to occur at the point of discussions when he’s salivating over a juicy issue ... ewww!
