Hilarious! Gore-Olbermann email exchange "leaked"

If you read them, I think you’ll realize their true nature, and not worry about how they were “obtained”. 😉

On the Internet you have to label everything, otherwise some people won’t understand that this is a gag email. At least I hope it’s a gag email. But with these two can anyone be sure?

We hate to keep reminding you Keith but you NEVER attended IV League Cornell University and you do NOT have a diploma from there either, you attended the NY land grant College of Agriculture at Cornell. Didn’t you learn anything from Ann Coulter? (She ought to know, she has a real degree from Cornell!) Sheesh!

Where’s my golden scepter so I can rule over the proletariat? Don’t talk to me, Knave!!

Alas, my moon is eclipsed, the olives do not speak to me of mock turtle-doves. I have no sense of apricots, no purpose in hugging myself, who is unequal before the tides of Tahiti.

Maybe this is hilarious if you live in the USA.
Totally meaningless elsewhere. I have never heard of Olbermann and thought Gore had retired years ago.

to half the people who posted about these emails – did you know that the word “gullible” is NOT in the dictionary?

Let me echo Wade’s call for a test of the veracity of these e-mails!

Never mind. I assumed Olbermann was satirizing himself. Now I feel foolish!

Please! Does anyone really think WUWT would publish stolen emails?
No way!

How profound. Well said.

Wow, how far have we come (or gone) in society when people cannot recognize satire without it being labeled as such in bright flashing letters. I needed to “red” no farther than “Golden Scepter” to see it was irony. Where has the critical thinking gone in this society?
By the way Anthony, you should fix that typo at the bottom. Great find. Almost laughed out loud at my desk.

I’m surprised that Hugh P. hasn’t [yet] weighed in with a simpering lecture on double standards and the true heroics of the big Mahalo hisse’f.

What an faux imperious bastard. Who does he think he is… King George III??? Actually, this is very funny. Both Olberman
and Gore deserve each other!!!

The absolute best satire is that which you can’t really tell if it’s real or not.
Yeah. It’s good. Very very good. 🙂

Cornell A&M is more like it. Dufus boy didn’t graduate from an Ivy league school. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it is very wrong to continue to lie about it after you have been caught. Think of the psychology of this man, an inferiority complex, envy, pride, etc.., without a shred of integrity. In fact, if you look up the seven deadly sins in the dictionary, there’s probably a picture of Olbermann front and center. A psychiatrists wet dream, a bigger douche has never been born.

Page 2 of the satirical (can it be anything but?) Dailycaller article contains;
“I’m not happy that you expect me to show up to work regularly and sober.” ROFL

Jeez, I’m not sure you should really post stuff like this. . . . . .
It’s going to take several hours just to clean up my monitor from spewing all over it, and even then I’m not sure I’m going to be able to work for the rest of the day because of the side ache I’ve got from laughing!!
Pure comedy gold. . .

Sorry Mike M, I’m not defending Olbermann, but you are 100% wrong. You’re just perpetrating a an old and tired snobbish myth generated by a number of the endowed section graduates and their cronies. All diplomas issued by the College of Agriculture at Cornell as well as all of the other Statutory Colleges at Cornell have printed at the TOP of each diploma “Cornell University” in large black Gothic script. You can confirm this yourself by googling “Cornell University diploma”, and searching for pictures. BTW, the entirety of Cornell University, both the endowed and statutory sections are New York State’s land grant university.
Olbermann likes to spin the truth on many occasions, but this is not one of them.

Good Grief, if anyone could not figure out those are not a satire after the first few words, I do not want to hear your opinion on climate. You may believe in flying hockey sticks.

Hmmm…gullible is also spelled with an “a” as gullable and IS in my dictionary. But then perhaps the half of the people of whom you speak have not checked . /humor

You had me until the calligraphy slipped under the door between 2:30-3:30am. I completely bought the scepter – who wouldn’t have. But after bombing out on the Christian Science Monitor Science Test the other day, I’ve picked up my skeptical boots a little – apparently zygote is not a mythical farm animal.

I only became sure that the e-mails were parodies when I got to the middle or so. At the end, it says that it’s satire quite explicitly. But it’s an amazingly realistic satire that really nicely captures the main roles and non-roles of these two men in their mutual battle.

Al should have had the sense too lend Keith his own golden scepter. And lend him one of his own sedans too. Or even his own stretch limo. Then peace could have reigned in the silence of the studio, unwatched and unseen by anyone.

There’s a famous sea side place called Blackpool
Wots noted fo fresh air an fun
and Mr & Mrs Al Gorical
went there, one day for some fun
A grand little lad was young Albert
All dressed in is best, quite a swell
with his stick with a hockey stick handle
The finest wot woolsworth could sell
Well they didn’t think much of the ocean
The waves were all piddlin an small
There were no wrecks and nobody drownded
In fact nothing to laugh at at all
So; looking fo further amusment
They paid and went into the zoo
There were lions and tigers and elephants
And old ale and sandwiches too
There was one great big lion called Olberman
His face was all covered in scars
He lay in a somnulent posture
With his face on the side of the bars
Now Albert ad erd about lions
ow they were ferocious and wild
and seing Olberman so peaceful like
Well; it didn’t seem right to the child
So straightway, the brave little fella
Not showing a morsel of fear
Took his stick with the hockey stick handle
And shoved it in Olbermans ear.
Well, Olbermans face was a picture
But his sceptre was nowhere in sight
So he wimpered and scowled at young Albert
And chewed on Al’s hockey stick all night.
There was no consoling young Albert
He wanted his hockey stick back
He wouldn’t leave zoo without it
He’d rather give stinky the sack.
There’s a moral to this story
And; for those who can’t work it out
If you don’t know what you are doing
Best to keep quiet and do nowt
With profuse apologies to Marriott Edgar
and for abusing his wonderful monologue “Albert and the lion

Being from the UK, I have little idea who Olbermann is, and only slightly more about Gore the buffoon. What intrigued me about the story was that Gore actually runs his own tv station.
Lets get this straight…the world is on an irreversible path to CAGW caused disatster, we are already past the tipping point and ‘buffoon – Gore’ has a tv station ?
When God almighty decided we were past the tipping point, he got Noah to build an ark and take mitigating measures, but Gore goes for self-aggrandizing PR instead.
Maybe Gore thinks he is better than God

Al Gore IS insane.
That is his “rational” framework from which his claim to science flows?
really? Seriously…
At what point need we to simply ignore all of this? Now sounds like a good time to start since we are clearly too late already.

Oh my word..
If Al Gore was ever to admit he were not God, then at the very least he would think himself as an omnipotent deity

No, you are wrong. Check http://www.cornell.edu/academics/colleges.cfm and you’ll find that CALS is the ONLY one with a little asterisk next to it to indicate it is a New York State contract unit
At http://cals.cornell.edu/cals/about/overview/index.cfm you’ll find it written:

CALS’ land-grant mission intersects and overlaps all our core academic priorities, from the applied social sciences, to the environmental sciences, to the new life sciences.

There are four statatory land grant colleges at Cornell that are NOT “Ivy League” – here they are: http://landgrant.cornell.edu/nys-established-colleges.cfm
Find me that statement in any of the other “Ivy League” colleges at cornell.edu and then maybe you’ll have something to denigrate. Keith Olberman did NOT attend “Ivy League” Cornell and does not have an “Ivy League” education from Cornell. I never said he he doesn’t have a degree with “Cornell” at the top – those are your words.
Be it known that I am not trying to put down anyone who attended those land grant colleges, they provide a very good education. But the point is the size of Olbermann’s lying head in his repeated claim to have an Ivy League education; that he does not have.
http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=300

Olbermann’s incessant lying about having an “Ivy League education” when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a “Yale man.”

April 1 joke carried too far. 345 days of vacation a year? It’s a blatant satire people. The reason why it was believable is because this is how these people speak in real life. But the emails are a spoof.

It’s kind of a pity to see this (admittedly unnatural, sick and twisted) relationship broken up.
Both Olbermann and Algore have such flagrant delusions of adequacy….

There’s the intensely cement-headed supposition on the part of millions that the quality of an education depends upon what’s offered in the curriculum instead of what the matriculant takes away from his expensive experience between his ears.

…I had learned that more depended on the student than on the school.

If this is real, Olbermann is mentally ill, and needs to seek help for his misplaced ego

Count me as a cement head. While I completely agree that the breadth of one’s education is generally much more dependent upon the individual than the particular college they attend or the cost of tuition, I don’t agree that any curriculum you choose is just as effective as another. As proof I can cite that the typical major selected by the students who ‘protest’ at the scheduled riots at UMass and throw their empty beer cans out of their SW dormitory windows – are very likely NOT enrolled in business or engineering or strict sciences like math or biology; (they have homework to do), most are taking ‘political science’ or psychology or ‘women’s studies’, or journalism, etc. (I.e. typically have no clue why mommy and daddy forced them to go to college but they had to pick ~something~, ya know?)

You’d have to have zombies sucking half my brain out before I would become that self-delusional.

This has the potential of a followup to the Alice in Wonderland books. Imagine stepping through the TV screen and encountering preposterous characters, like the ego-maniacal OverMan and the charlatan priest, the dreamlike Algoracle. . .

As opposed, naturally, to the oh-so-smarter-than-we-are set who (grudgingly) acknowledge that Gleick’s forged HI agenda *is* a forgery, but continue to natter about it as if it were the genuine article?

Reblogged this on Defender of The Light's and commented:
uhmm…finally

A parody hidden within a satire wrapped around comedy with a generous helping of humor.
Discussing this, pretending to believe in the authenticity of this exchange while knowing deep down that it’s a joke, this is a pantomime for the denizens of alarmist blog sites. There lies true wisdom.

i would certainly like one of those gold Pharoah sceptres!

Could be antediluvian (or playing too much World of Darkness).
