On This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the Sunday panel included Paul Krugman, along with resident panelist, George Will. The recent scandal noted as “Climategate” was brought up, as the discussion veered toward Cap & Tax and Obama’s upcoming trip to Copenhagen to discuss so-called “climate change.”

Well, New York Times’ Paul Krugman (Nobel Prize winner, as George reminds us) says that the hacked emails were taken out of context, and proclaims most people don’t really understand how academic discussions and debates are held.

Yeah, we don’t really understand all that high-falootin’ fancy stuff there, now do we Paul? Is that how you earned your Nobel Prize?

Anyway, George Will finally sets Krugman straight on the impossible ambitions President Obama is purportedly going to agree to – that the United States will lower greenhouse gases to a level equal to that of – what we had in the 1870s. Yeah, that’s gonna happen. /sarc

Then ABC’s Cokey Roberts reveals the true liberal concern; it’s not for the science – it’s for images of those poor, poor polar bears on ice floats. It’s true, I guess, that liberals operate solely on emotion.

By the way, you can read ALL the exposed CRU emails here.

Alternate title for this post? “Mainstream Media Finally Reports on Climategate.”
