Fox Guest Piscopo Blames Climate Change On Obama
Joe Piscopo and Fox News host Neil Cavuto were very annoyed that celebrities in the Hand in Hand hurricane relief telethon talked climate change. Piscopo doesnt believe in climate change but if it does exist, its Obamas fault!
How about just raising the money, helping the folks out in need and spare the lectures? Cavuto said after playing clips of Barbra Streisand, Beyoncé and Stevie Wonder talking about the importance of dealing with climate change during the telethon. Then, Cavuto introduced comedian and my friend Joe Piscopo to pile on.
Was that really necessary? Cavuto groused to Piscopo. Whatever your views on climate change, whatever your views on all the other political dustups weve had. What did you think?
Piscopo then suggested that if there is such a thing as climate change, it must be Obamas fault for not solving the problem:
PISCOPO: Give me a break. Raise the money, be grateful, and this time, with all the trouble thats been going on, Neil: Texas, Florida, the news coming out of Florida just today - cant you just put the politics aside?
Plus, the argument isnt authentic. Its a flawed theory because the climate change regulations were in play for the last eight years. So if youre going to blame anybody, lets blame who was there the last eight years. Im just saying, and I dont want to blame anybody, lets raise the money.

Were so sick of the lectures man, and thats why I think the president got elected.

I suppose their list of willing 'media personalities' isn't that long.

(82,849 posts)Something bad happens in any number of areas that you could name, and conservatives are all about assigning blame and proposing solutions, even if there's no identifiable problem or the solution is irrelevant to the bad thing that happened (victim blaming is almost always a good bet). Houston gets a good scrubbing, there's ample evidence about why it happened, and some reasonable solutions offered, and suddenly Piscopo (where did they dig him up, anyway?) and Cavuto are all about the "can't we just help the victims and not be lectured about stuff that we find ideologically inconvenient?"
