During the August 3 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity declared that while "Al Gore is unhinged" for warning of the threat posed by global warming, Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, is "sane" despite having announced that the recent record-breaking heat "is making a convert out of me" on global warming.

Robertson had been a self-described skeptic on global warming, but on the August 3 edition of The 700 Club, he announced that the intensity of recent heat waves has convinced him that global warming is real and a threat, adding, "We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels" because "f we are contributing to the destruction of this planet, we need to do something about it." Hannity asserted that while "Pat's a good man," he is "dead wrong on this one." After announcing that "Al Gore is unhinged" while discussing how liberals have "politicized" the "whole global-warming debate," Hannity declared that Robertson, despite now saying he believes in the real threat of global warming, is "sane."

Numerous conservative pundits have previously characterized Gore as mentally unstable or "insane," as Media Matters for America has documented. Tucker Carlson has labeled Gore "a wild-eyed religious nut" whose "religion is the environment"; Ann Coulter has called Gore "clinically insane"; and syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker described Gore as being "one slice short of a loaf," though she subsequently told MSNBC's Chris Matthews that she wouldn't "go quite that far" as to say that Gore "has lost it." Matthews himself said that Gore developed "a psychological problem" after his defeat in the 2000 presidential election.

7. Yep, when a person's paycheck depends on not seeing something

You can damn well bet the person won't see it.

11. I have to disagree zbdent,

I believe money does not equal sanity. What if someone paid you a 100 million dollars a year to deny a threat to life as we know it, including all your family and friends, a threat supported by 928 to 0 peer reviewed scientific studies, would that be sanity?
