Sen Kennedy is a very sharp lawyer, and more importantly has an awful lot of common sense.
I have listened to him over the last 25 years in his various Louisiana posts, and he has amused me and informed me about many energy, economic and environmental issues and the options for we humans to do something or not.
A better skewer than the clueless athlete was his questioning of the U.S. Under Secretary of the Dept of Energy, and I post the link for your entertainment ( about 6 minutes long):
Nice. Thank you for that *cringe* laugh. What a LIAR that Deputy Secretary was — he knows good and well that the amount the temperature would drop if the U.S. spent ~$50 TRILLION would be unmeasurable/meaningless.
That was a good one!
About the ski dude, now I wish the senator had asked him whether he knew how many inches of snow had fallen in, say the last three years, at his favorite ski slope.
About the Senator…..one of his latest “piercing” questions had to do with a proposed “assault weapon” issue.
Sen Kennedy asked the witness to define an “assault weapon” and he got a response like the ski dude, and finally concluded she didn’t even know what an “assault weapon” was!
Being a Louisiana pol, Sen Kennedy is extremely well-informed on almost every aspect of the oil and gas business. However, his best accomplishment was as Treasurer and negotiated a Louisiana statue concerning the huge tobacco settlement back in late 90’s. The statue prevented the legislature from diverting the $$$ from the education and other agencies to the so-called “earmarks”.
If you have a talking parrot that’s just great but don’t train it to give testimony where it might be expected to answer other questions that you haven’t trained it on.
They called this athletic kid as an “expert” on “Climate Change”?
Sounds like his “expertise” could only be about the short time in his short life that he skied.
What could he say? “My skiing isn’t as good as it used to be and they told me it was due to …”?
You didn’t miss much. When pressed he just kept saying, in effect, “I don’t know anything about CO2.” or, regarding past leftist activist statements he’d made, “That’s not the context of this hearing.”
There were better hearings where an expert claimed to know something and Kennedy exposed the new one he just tore them.
I actually watched the entire thing through, trying to find out what he was an expert in, I’m still none the wiser. He ski’s and is, what, a professional downhill skier – so he’s paid to perform in front of an audience who, presumably, paid to watch him perform? They all need their money back.
I watched the whole thing also.
He provided less support for The Cause than when Meryl Streep testified as an expert witness on Alar and apples.
Her expertise?
She’d played a farmer’s wife in a movie.
Don’t be sure of that possibility they too often blow their rare attempt to nail someone scientifically well here because they are too invested in the climate kook cult.

The witness is perhaps the most knowledgeable Alarmist I’ve seen or heard.
One thing about way too many “urbanites”, is that they tend to assume that anyone who doesn’t live as they do, can’t possibly be smart.
As a result, many hicks have learned to emphasize their cultural differences when around urbanites. Both to mock them, as well as making it easy to sucker them into whatever you trying to get them to do.
He has degrees from Vanderbilt, U of Virginia and Oxford.
I was a little embarrassed for the kid because he was so over matched. I usually enjoy having these clowns get skewered by Kennedy but there should be a mercy rule.
Astonishing to bring forth an individual who has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Utterly embarrassing and a reflection of a lack of critical thinking skills, reason or logic. God help us.
I’d be interested in his explanation to his quick statement to the effect that there will be no snow in the future for athletes like him. What data does he use to make that claim? Can he show that the world’s snowfall has dramatically decreased. Where does he ski?
Maybe as a youngster he listened to Dr David Vintner who said “children won’t know what snow is” in Britain. Or Senator Whitehead showed him data from scenario 8.5 suggesting the same.
This witness is proof that for many Senators on the left these are “show” hearnings.
It’s typical of most silly liberals. How about the witness for the prosecution by Fani Willis against Young Thug? He was too high to testify. And not only was he wearing a mask, but so was the microphone.
I thought “I don’t recall” was Hillary’s line when she was under oath.
Are you claiming Trump plagiarized her!
(She should file, yet another bogus, lawsuit against Trump.)
Yesterday, Trump was up by 8 points over Biden in Michigan in the latest poll. Biden has to have Michigan to win the presidency.
One Democrat was warning other Democrats on CNN yesterday that this political persecution of Trump by the radical Democrats is going to elect Trump as president.
I think he is correct.
Trump may be able to raise the outrageous $544 million bond demanded by the corrupt New York Attorney General and the corrupt trial judge. Trump’s “Truth Social” is going public and this will put about $3 billion in Trump’s pocket. That will wipe that ugly, malicious grin off Latitia’s face!
Ha ha ha, you are trolling big time hoping no one here will notice you have no criticism of the article.
TDS afflicts only leftists which is why I KNOW you are a democrat.

With the Senator’s reputation, it is astounding that anyone on the staff would have thought it a good idea of having a low knowledge skier appear as an expert. And Gus, bless his little heart, should have declined. The “tweets” show his lack of common sense, knowledge, and discretion. I hope he is not typical of his age cohort.
I wonder if his mother and grandparents watched this.
Watched this one and was totally blown away by the “expert” responses to Sen. Kennedy’s questions. Sorta reminds me of the interview of Justice Brown and her not knowing what a “female” is. though she appears to be one. Of course, these days ya really can’t tell without a full blown physical exam. Absolutely love watchin’ Sen. Kennedy in action. Just sayin’.
I seem to recall a Congressional hearing starring actress Jessica Lange testifying about the farm crisis. Her expertise came from her role in a movie.

Don’t skip this video. It’s reminiscent of those campus interviews where the students can’t name the continent they’re on. Question after question leaves the dolt babbling at the end that he is just a competitive skier and only knows about snow.
I was a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s, and we knew more actual detail about our issues than these kids and with considerably less access to information. Athletics aside, Schumacher is/was a sad representation for his age group. Hope he’s a better skier than he is a ‘climate expert.’

So this is an expert we should rely upon to justify rolling back the 20th century? A child of leisure who’s convinced that he won’t get to ski anymore unless I give up my affluence?
He and Greta would make a great power couple.

Here’s another great quote by Senator Kennedy: “Christmas ornaments, drywall, and Jeffrey Epstein–name three things that don’t hang themselves.”
Senator Kennedy is a gem! This was hilarious.
He’s good at scratching democrats to find the fascists inside.
Salute!

Snowpack for Colorado is about 95% of normal, may be over 100% of normal after the next storm Sunday Monday.
Salute!

Here’s a good take on the definition of an “assault weapon”.
Climate change is bogus dude!
That’s not funny
This is funny:
The Honeymooners – Get Out! (youtube.com)
Nope not particularly.
Your comments are a riot
You should go to a comedy club on amateur night and read them out loud
I seem to recall the bag was full of money.
Full of money and Ed Norton was worried that it might belong to a poor person.
If you have a talking parrot that’s just great but don’t train it to give testimony where it might be expected to answer other questions that you haven’t trained it on.
Ouch.

While I enjoy listening to interviews with Senator Kennedy, the “expert” made me cringe. I had to turn the video off after a minute and a half.

Hi, Bob. 🙂 Found that airhead a bit creepy, eh? Friendly warning, then: DO NOT look at my comment below.

You didn’t miss much. When pressed he just kept saying, in effect, “I don’t know anything about CO2.” or, regarding past leftist activist statements he’d made, “That’s not the context of this hearing.”
There were better hearings where an expert claimed to know something and Kennedy exposed the new one he just tore them.
You do know, do you not, that the ‘expert” would not get a single down vote from any of the faithful?
I actually watched the entire thing through, trying to find out what he was an expert in, I’m still none the wiser. He ski’s and is, what, a professional downhill skier – so he’s paid to perform in front of an audience who, presumably, paid to watch him perform? They all need their money back.
He probably also snowboards.🙄
I watched the whole thing also.
He provided less support for The Cause than when Meryl Streep testified as an expert witness on Alar and apples.
Her expertise?
She’d played a farmer’s wife in a movie.
🙄
Hard to believe some Democrat operative got away with wasting a Republican Senator’s time with a clueless skier.
That’s pitiful, not funny.
Leftists usually memorize a few talking points
The really funny thing is that even the most clueless troll on this site could easily answer the senator’s questions.
Don’t be sure of that possibility they too often blow their rare attempt to nail someone scientifically well here because they are too invested in the climate kook cult.
The witness is perhaps the most knowledgeable Alarmist I’ve seen or heard.
Damned with faint praise.
Senator Kennedy pretends to be a hick but he has a mind that is sharper than most, if not all, of the witnesses. I enjoy watching him in action.
He is a hick … but a smart hick.
Lot’s of “hicks” (and “deplorables”) have more common sense than the more polished sounding urbanites.
One thing about way too many “urbanites”, is that they tend to assume that anyone who doesn’t live as they do, can’t possibly be smart.
As a result, many hicks have learned to emphasize their cultural differences when around urbanites. Both to mock them, as well as making it easy to sucker them into whatever you trying to get them to do.
He has degrees from Vanderbilt, U of Virginia and Oxford.
I was a little embarrassed for the kid because he was so over matched. I usually enjoy having these clowns get skewered by Kennedy but there should be a mercy rule.
Yes his style reminds me of Peter Falk’s detective character “Colombo”.
Astonishing to bring forth an individual who has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Utterly embarrassing and a reflection of a lack of critical thinking skills, reason or logic. God help us.

We have a Parliament building full of people who have no idea what they are talking about.
“The Expert”
— Had no idea about the nature of CO2 (“it’s a BIG part of the atmosphere”)
— Had no idea how much a trillion is.
— Had no idea about the bounds of natural variation in his ski area
DID have his main line down pat:
“I’m not here to talk about that.”
The ventriloquist was very good, but, needs better lines.
One of Brandon’s handlers called him to testify?
😄
(Always a pleasure to see your comments.)
Aw. Thank you, O Encourager. 😊
What about the gibberish when Trump testifies in a desposition under oath for his fraud trial
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-deposition-video-testimony-new-york-fraud-case-nuclear-holocaust/
What about TDS?
Jeebus Janice, that frightened me when I scrolled down on to it too fast!
Sorry, Mister. 😏
“Had no idea about the nature of CO2 (“it’s a BIG part of the atmosphere”)”
400 parts per million is a “Big part of the atmosphere?” That’s only in the mind of an alarmist.
Damn that was painful. God bless Senator Kennedy.
Gus Schumacher never learned of Mark Twain…
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” – Mark Twain
Republicans need to ask each and every one of these witnesses:
I would have asked this witness when he was going to start using skis made only from wood. No epoxies or synthetic glues
Ha! And ride his bamboo bicycle up the mountain to the ski area.
He is a lawyer…..just answer the question…………………….
Or the Trump defence . Dont recall…. hundreds of times, including Cant recall saying he had the best memory in the World !
I thought “I don’t recall” was Hillary’s line when she was under oath.
Are you claiming Trump plagiarized her!
(She should file, yet another bogus, lawsuit against Trump.)
When you are asked about something that never happened, “don’t recall” is simply the truth.
Here, Duker, just for you, a picture of the winner in November, 2024:
TRUMP! 2024! Bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaa! 😄

I wonder why Kennedy did not run for the republican presidential nomination?
Senator Kennedy would make a good president.
This is not yet his time.
