    It certainly can. Patraeus shagging some chick doesn't affect his judgement on military matters. Al Gore consuming conspicuously certainly taints his judgement on climate matters.
-sure, but that doesn't make Global Warming less "real". I may know that there is an obesity epidemic and I may even preach that people need to be more health conscious. Then, I may go eat a 10 piece chicken nugget, large fries and a coke. This doesn't make the obesity epidemic any less real just because I'm an idiot. PS. Gore makes me shudder too. Edwards makes me guffaw in amazement and Gingrich makes me chuckle as only a cartoon character can. Buffet I really enjoy listening to. Some great Charlie Rose interviews with Warren.

I didn't say GW was or wasn't real, I just said that I won't listen to Al Gore about it. I wouldn't take weight loss advice from a fat man, or clothing advice from a nudist either.

What if the nudist's advice was to eschew clothes?

Still, it's not like he has looked at the options and chosen wisely and without prejudice. Heck, that's a guy who for SURE doesn't have a leather office chair. Just saying.
