Did Al Gore get the Miss Rhode Island Idea from Woody Allen's "Bananas"?

Joe Bastardi writes in regarding this WUWT story about Miss Rhode Island talking about sea level rise on Gore’s Climate Reality Project

Check this out, (its hilarious)  though it has some PG parts,  pay attention to the last minute and Miss America’s testimony:

I got to thinking that maybe Al Gore got his idea to bring Miss Rhode Island in  from this scene.  Then again, he may have been  busy creating Love Story, which was  at about the same time, so one cannot tell.

What is kind of scary is this:  Pay attention to what Miss America says in  satire, and think about the silencing efforts going on in this debate today.  I never grow tired of the movie Bananas,  but its ironic that this scene which is  arguably  one of the funniest scenes in movies,  is a reminder of what is going on with the attempts at squishing dissent.

Okay fun’s  over,  back to  work

It was satirical, as in not real. You couldn’t tell?

After watching and learning more about this (which, admittedly, I blew off) I agree with your view point here and I apologize if anyone thought my comment was unfairly skewed. It’s just too easy to ignore Al Gore. 🙂

Often the “Disabled” message is country-dependent. In Canada, often get versions of it for material from the US and UK.
