Sure, Bush Is Hell-Spawn

But did you realize that according to the Junior Senator from Massachusetts (and did you know he served in Vietnam, btw?) he is also able to spawn tornadoes?

Politicians using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a tried-and-true strategy. Paint the idea green and a natural catastrophe became political fodder for former Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.).
Kerry appeared on MSNBC on February 6 to discuss storms that have killed at least 50 people throughout the Southeastern United States. So, of course, Kerry used the platform to advance global warming alarmism.
“[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said. “And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth. And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we’re not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.”

Let’s look at the key eloquent phrase of this keen insight, where his education and sheer intellectual brilliance really shine (at least to this common man):

“[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said.

I could not have said it any better even if I had a Magic Hat.

   Clearly, John Effing Kerry doesn’t realize that the position of Supreme Bishop of the Church of Mother Gaia™ has already been filled.

   That’s some impenetrable verbosity even from Kerry.

   He should have read the paper this morning.

   All the right ingredients combined for Tuesday’s killer tornadoes, especially warm moist air and a shifting weather pattern courtesy of the La Nina phenomenon. Just one thing was off: The calendar.

   The Feb. 5 killer tornadoes — at least the 15th deadliest U.S. outbreak on record — had all the earmarks of a batch of twisters usually seen in March, said several meteorologists.

   …Tornadoes do happen in February, but a study by Schaefer two years ago found that winter tornadoes in parts of the South occur more frequently and are stronger when there is a La Nina, a cooling of Pacific waters that is the flip side of the better known El Nino. In 1971, a deadlier February outbreak in the Mississippi Delta killed 121 people.
   
   …While La Nina doesn’t specifically cause tornadoes, it helps shift the jet stream, pushing storms from the West and moisture from the Gulf into the necessary collision course over the South, said Schaefer.

   NOAA:

   In the case of F2 and greater tornadoes, more appear to occur during La Nina months. La Nina seasons are normally associated with warmer than average temperatures in the South, producing a sharper frontal zone between warmer air and the normally cold arctic air to the north. During this time, Deep South weather is more unstable and colliding air masses set the stage for more tornadoes.

   The article also says, “Meteorologists are quick to say they cannot blame global warming.”
   Not as quik as Jon Kary!

   Yeah, you have to be kinda slow to say stuff like he does.

   It sounds like a drunken collegiate party game (or better yet, a quote from a Zappa album) “Hey, let’s sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately!”

   I’m surprised he didn’t go with “Bush’s tornadoes razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan”.

    If this was a Reuter’s photo, they’d say it was tornadoes.
