Who knew Al Gore could be such fun? He's the toast of Cannes and was hilarious on Saturday Night Live. He's also Topic A in political conversation. A lot of Democrats start to sound a bit giddy when the subject of a Gore presidential run in 2008 comes up. Even with recent troubles in the GOP, many of them have been preoccupied with the weakness of their leaders and the party's uncertain future. When discussion turns to Gore, everyone gets excited.
At the center of the Gore boomlet is the New Al Gore. He's full of the vision and ass-kicking clarity for which Democratic activists are thirsting. Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos, has praised the change, calling him "passionate, eloquent, and utterly suffused with energy." Arianna Huffington got the bug in Cannes: "When people are exposed to the new Gore—authentic, funny, self-deprecating—you can almost feel their relief and surprise as they suddenly come to face to face with what a real leader could be."
This has got to be stirring for a guy who was essentially laughed out of town after losing the 2000 election. But Gore has yet to respond to the groundswell, according to those I've talked to who know Gore well. He's happy doing what he's doing and doesn't want to get drawn back into politics. "What Al Gore is doing now is living the life he always wanted to lead," says his former campaign manager, Donna Brazile. "He's a leading intellectual. He's talking about global warming. He's a venturecrat. He's leading the life I think a person like Al Gore would want to lead."

Remember, Al Gore should be all for $5/gallon gas.
I love watching politicians reinvent themselves. It's should be our national pasttime.
Meet the New Gore... same as the Old Gore.
"Al Gore" and the words "Intelligent", "Intellectual", and "smart" should be banned from being anywhere within 500 miles of each other.
AlGone is the male version of Babs Striesand without the notoriety of having been in stag films while being a waitress.
*snort*
But good read anyway.
Gore doesn't stand a chance of winning an election because he just cannot help himself, he just has to try and be things he is not.
Like, a natural human instead of a wooden automaton.
Time for a reprise of my January posting (Lest we forget !)

He's a leading intellectualMost intellectuals have their heads up their a$$es and Gore's is so far up that he has to be considered a leader.
Does he now have controlling legal authority?
"He's a leading intellectual.
Couldn't go any further.
A wise person once told me that his definition of insanity was somebody who does the same thing over and over, expecting that the result will be different... Gore's a two-time loser, and the Democrats are giddy about him? What does that say about their chances?
George Orwell said, "There are some ideas so preposterous, only an intellectual would believe them." That seems to apply in this instance.

This article is definitely in need of a BARF ALERT.

I miss the Earthtone Al version.

You go right ahead and take Algore's rectal temperature! I dont want to get anywhere near him! LOL
Nothing would please me more than an Al Gore re-run.
He reminds me of a gay waiter I knew who worked at a restaurant in Chicago.

Okay, now I am curious in a sick kind of way. WTF are you talking about? Did Babs do porno?
Would you be more pleased
if Gore ran from Prez and had
Hillary for Vice?
What does he plan to put in his "lockbox" this time around?
"Would you be more pleased

I would be giddy at the idea of those two meatballs running together.
"He's a leading intellectual...."
Couldn't go any further.
Me either.
Who can ever forget him asking the tour guide at the Monticello, who the busts of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams were?
yuppers.
Back before she was a singer, she was a waitress.
She appeared in an 8mm stag reel during those days.
AlGone only has the notoriety of being a mental lightweight and electoral loser.
(As if "I love Eric Clapner" Babs is a mental giant herself, hence the easy comparison between the two *cough* intellects.)
Yup. Totem Pole did it a dozen times. I'm really surprised there aren't more pics here on FR of Gore in his various states of re-invention. The Outdoor-Gore, the Packed-Package Gore, the Sweating Gore, the Bearded Gore, the Etc. Gore.
Here's my contribution to the Global Warming Gore:
Right there are conflicting sentences. Last night I happened to catch the trailer for his 'movie'. I laughed myself silly. What a maroon.
There was a pic around here of a guy in this pose.
Didn't he play in a Batman movie? (Jack Nicholson)?
Can ya post it?
It's version 4.2a (an alpha version). Tomorrow it will be 4.2b (beta version).
Yes.
Mark my words: Al will run, and he will beat the 'Beast.
Hillary will eat him alive, but it's wonderful to watch democrats in full delusion mode.
Thanks Ben.
Second verse, same as the first!
This is silly. If Gore wants to lead the Environmentalist Movement here in the US, fine. If he wants to be President, I say "give it yer best shot." But he can't do both. Reagan was unique in that he was the leader of a movement (conservatism) at the same time as he was a successful politician. I don't know of another example in the 20th (now 21st) century.
Ding ding ding....we have a winnah!
Coming from a guy who totally hates Al Gore, I would've rated that as the stupidest episode of South Park this season and possibly of all time, if not for the Oprah/Towellie episode the week before, which had no redeeming quality whatsoever. Matt and Trey were phoning it in for a couple of weeks, probably in response to the Mohammed episode being censored.
Bottom line: there are plenty of *real* things about Al Gore that you can poke fun at, but "manbearpig" and "serial" aren't on the list of things that make for a good satire. It was a wasted episode.
He's a leaking intellectual......too much iced tea!
Babs was in porno? What films? Why isn't there a web site dedicated to this.
It was an 8mm stag reel.
Don't think it had a title, but it was easy enough to find it using the image search function of alltheweb.com and google.
And yup, it is Babs.
Website dedicated to Babs performance in a stag reel wouldn't work, it'd be like telling the world that the performer 'Madonna' is a tramp and expecting surprise.
Top Ten Reasons why Al Gore will not be elected President of the United States:
10. He cleaned out Justices Scalia, Roberts, Souter, Thomas, and Breyer at their regular Saturday night poker games.
9. His best comedy routine is merely a rip-off from Rodney Dangerfield.
8. He didn't really invent the internet; he only uses it.
7. He smokes his cigars straight out of the box.
6. Because of global warming, he sweats too much.
5. The press has discovered his secret love affair with Paris Hilton.
4. In hopes of improving his chances of receiving an academy award for his documentary, he recently joined the Church of Scientology.
3. He has been diagnosed as suffering from severe paranoia.
2. His National Guard Reserve unit has been activated for duty in Iraq, but will not be shipped out until November, 2008.
1. He knows how to spell "nuclear."
ManBearPig = Global Warming. Get it?
Especially here on Free Republic!
(For one thing, a sizeable part of this country believes in Global Warming. No one is the 'toon believed in ManBearPig.)
More like ManBearPig = AlGoreNuts!
