Helen Caldicott watch

Everyone's favourite anti-nuke nutcase is at it again. Just when you thought she couldn't discredit herself any further, she does:

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr Helen Caldicott fears US President George Bush's re-election will lead to Armageddon and she isn't sure if mankind would survive another four years.

"This is the most serious election that has ever occurred in the history of the human race, without a scrag of doubt," she told smh.com.au.

"I don't know if we'll survive the next four years ... I don't think the Americans have, on the whole, the faintest idea - and I have to say also I don't think most Australians do either. But it's not just the threat from nuclear war. It's the threat of what's happening to the environment, the global warming which is occurring rapidly now, to ozone depletion, to species extinction, to deforestation - it's the whole thing."

I actually don't mind when Caldicott and other loony lefties engage in this type of condescending blather. The reason: every time they do it, the chances go down of a Democrat winning back the White House.
