YOUR PRUNES HAVE A CARBON FOOTPRINT

Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democrat Party candidate John Edwards, is starting to get all of her fruits and vegetables locally. Why? Because apparently these fruits and vegetables have a carbon footprint. Yup ... when you transport fruit you have to burn fossil fuels .. and that means your next apple is actually causing (gasp!) global warming! The lovely Elizabeth says "I live in North Carolina. I'll probably never eat a tangerine again."

These global warming nut-case cultists want to run our country! They want to charge you extra for your fruits and vegetables because of their carbon footprint! Problem is, we have just enough idiot voters out there to put them in office!


I couldn't believe Elizabeth Edwards was capable of saying something like that (it just struck me as too stupid to come from her) so I looked it up on Google News (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=tangerine&btnG=Search).

The only hit I got was from a UK satire site (http://www.anorak.co.uk/twitterings/175421.html)!

I know Boortz is an idiot, but he has been doing radio and blogs for years. Not even he could fall for this - or could he?

Does anyone know anything about this?
