BREAKING! It's not real AND it's Obama's fault!!!!



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 doesn’t believe in climate change but if it does exist, it’s Obama’s 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 we’ve had. What did you think?”

Piscopo then suggested that if there is such a thing as climate change, it must be Obama’s fault for not solving the problem:

PISCOPO: Give me a break. Raise the money, be grateful, and this time, with all the trouble that’s been going on, Neil: Texas, Florida, the news coming out of Florida just today - can’t you just put the politics aside?

Plus, the argument isn’t authentic. It’s a flawed theory because the climate change regulations were in play for the last eight years. So if you’re going to blame anybody, let’s blame who was there the last eight years. I’m just saying, and I don’t want to blame anybody, let’s raise the money.

[…]

We’re so sick of the lectures man, and that’s why I think the president got elected.

But their climate change lies, in particular, are a grave danger to America. If they can't stop lying, then then should just STFU and let Americans get on with dealing directly and wisely with reality.

I thought he got lost in some South American jungle or something. That's how long it's been since he's been relevant.

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?"

What's he ever done other than five minutes on SNL playing half of the WHINER family and playing Sinatra over and over and over??
