Al Gore Offers Debate Tips to John Kerry

(CNSNews.com) - Former Vice President Al Gore is giving fellow Democrat John Kerry tips on how to debate George W. Bush, the man who defeated Gore in 2000.

In a New York Times op-ed piece, Gore says all the recent TV attack ads have made it hard for voters to figure out where the candidates stand, and that's why the televised debates will be so important.

"My advice to John Kerry is simple," Gore writes; "be prepared for the toughest debates of your career."

Gore calls Bush a "skilled debater who uses the format to his advantage."

But working in Kerry's favor, Gore says, is Bush's performance as president, which Gore calls a "catastrophic failure."

I wonder if Algore said something like, "Whatever you do, DON'T walk towards Bush while he's speaking. He'll just beat you down like the dog you are with a single stare."

What should I do Forrest, How can I beat him?

"My Mamma always said simple is as simple does"

What does that mean Forrest?

I think Al Gore also suggested the orange pancake makeup.

Gore giving Kerry advice is like Yoko Ono giving singing lessons.

Next up: Dukakis schools Kerry on how to take advantage of photo opportunities, and Tammy Faye Bakker gives him a makeup lesson.

Nothing like getting advice on debating Bush from a guy that LOST to Bush. LOL ... Algore's funniest line was something like "Bush's policy enough to make you want to sigh." LOL ... that's what he was doing when he lost to Bush, sighing loud and uncontrollably ... LOL...

My advise to Kerry is, get a gun, shoot yourself in the foot, go home.

"Loudly heave plenty of sighs, roll eyes frequently, shake head during opponent's responses. Works like a charm."

"I know Forrest Gore I'll tell him I served in Viet Nam"

"Tell him you invented the internet, I did"

I know John, tell him you have more answers to the same

question than he does, that'll win.

NO Forrest, I already tried that, they laughed at me.
