Al Gore Foiled by Punxsutawney Phil

These days even a groundhog can get the better of Al Gore:

The world's most famous groundhog has seen his shadow which, legend has it, means this already long winter will last for six more weeks.

It can't be fun trying to whip up panic about global warming when it just keeps getting colder. Even liberals are starting to ridicule the Goracle.

Why is that man holding up Donald Trump's toupee?

Algore woke up this morning, rolled out of his five hundred dollar suite, went outside, saw his shadow and instantly proclaimed it was Bush's fault.
One of his aides was quick to remind him that Bush was no longer the President.
Algore bent over, licked his nuts, and quickly proclaimed that wanting to lick your own nuts is a sign of global warming.

Everyone knows there are 7 more weeks of winter, just look at the calendar. Then roast the groundhog on a spit.

That groundhog has that "If you don't let me down I'm going to crap on your head" look about him.

Here in Florida, we just used an armadillo.

How about holding up Al Gore? Maybe if he sees his shadow, he'll get the idea that IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.

Note to Al: everyone that has functioning brain cells has figured out you are a liar. The rest of your legion of fans are getting bored. Fame, Al, is fleeting.

have we heard from peta yet on how that poor groundhog is being thrust into the cold and made to do work that he has not had proper training in, and does not have union representation, and that he might need a chiropractor or acupuncturist after that "manhandling" ? (unless he has the same management as the gekko and therefore considered rich and then he is going to be taxed for his fur coat.)

just a thought

I hope some PETA jerk tries to grab the groundhog and it bites their fingers off

"How about holding up Al Gore?"

Because they'd need a crane or at least a forklift to hoist the enormous mass of blubber known as Al Gore up high enough.

Phil speaks:

So there I was, minding my own business. I'd crawled out of bed, grabbed some coffee and a danish, then set out to get the morning paper....

Whoa! Flash bulbs, crowds, strange men in antique clothing grabbing at me! Hey, I'm just a groundhog; What do they think I know about the weather? You gonna eat that salad?

and that he might need a chiropractor or acupuncturist after that "manhandling"

Shouldn't that be "personhandling?" I for one am deeply offended. /sarc

I'll tell you what, Al Gore is dead wrong. We are freezing our butts off all over the country and he is still telling everyone about how warm it is!!

"Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 98 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club."

That is one old groundhog.

As for Dana Milbank,

Just another tacit admission that none of the media/left/Democrat cognocenti cared about the environment like they said they did, and that it was all a ruse..

But then we knew that anyway. The only surprising thing is how brazenly they now admit it - like they expect people to have simply forgotten what they were saying a couple of months ago.

The physical similarities between Al and that obese rodent are striking. Between claiming to have invented the internet, and the global warming hoax both being debunked as garbage, i'd say the groundhog his considerably more dignity to hold onto as well. Go away fat Albert, once and for all.

Is the groundhog doing a half tuck and roll?
