Politics: For burning lots of jet fuel spreading panic around the globe, Al Gore gets a Nobel Peace Prize. But if he really thinks his global warming theory could withstand public scrutiny, why not run for president?
The former vice president is supposedly the greatest debater in the world. CNN's "Larry King Live" saw him wipe the floor with Ross Perot on NAFTA in 1993. He also out-soundbited Jack Kemp in the 1996 vice-presidential debate.
But in 2000, an unlikely challenger — a Texan given to mangling language — was to puncture Gore's aura of invincibility. Al's sighs of impatience while debating George W. Bush symbolized the frustration of the liberal elite when confounded by simple horse sense.
Maybe those seven-year-old chinks in his armor are why Gore steadfastly refuses to debate climate experts who challenge his alarmist hypotheses. As the Cato Institute's Patrick Michaels points out: "The fact is that Al has ducked, feinted, dived away from, or fluffed each and every opportunity for a reasoned debate with any global warming scientist not of his choice."
Earlier this year, Gore at the last minute scaredy-catted out of an interview with Denmark's biggest newspaper and "Skeptical Environmentalist" author Bjorn Lomborg. Gauntlets have also been thrown down by Cato and Chicago's Heartland Institute.

Gore throws his hat in, there will be a party here! LOL
Hillaryarious!
My wet dream is that he run as a green party candidate.
He should debate Newt Gingrich.
Please Al , Jerry Brown , Ralf Nadir , Cynthis McKinney join hands , come together , moonbats are calling you to run .
Al Gore won’t run, not as a Democrat, Independent, nor a Green. The Clintons simply won’t let him. This is Hillary’s turn and they wouldn’t allow Gore to mess it up, no way.
I’m wondering how much they’ll pay Nader to stay out of it. If I were him, I’d ask for a mint. The Denver one would do.

Al is only partially stupid. He knows his faux earth science crisis cannot stand the scrutiny of real science — and would shatter his partially-crafted scam to bilk taxpayers and other money sources of their booty to both save the world, and enrich his “carbon offset” company efforts. What a joke and what a con-artist.
Yes Al, you are alot like Hitlery. She cannot stand the light of factual debate either. That is WHY both of you will not debate credible people. You are both liars and scam artists. OK, now it gets down to who can outlie who....maybe if Al can outlie Hitlery, he might get the nomination. Afterall, that is the basis for getting liberal votes -— lies, deciet, fraud, and the redistribution of wealth for the aquisition of POWER. The good part of the story is that the world knows it.
Who knows? Before it is all over, Algore may do more harm to mankind as a private citizen than he could have done from the White House. Imagine what he could accomplish with a brain.
AlGore puts himself in for the Nobel, then pats himslf on the back for receiving it.
Reminds me of my neighbor’s dog, he keeps licking himself. Other neighbors used to laugh, but then they don’t notice anymore. He’s just a dog and can’t be helped. AlGore is just a liberal, he can’t help it. It’s not mental illness when you’re a liberal.
Algore is a pendantic bore with delusions of charisma.
Gore’s a loser trying to boost his image with an enabling MSM and fellow global leftists. An Emmy, an Oscar, a NPP???
Gore’s not all that!
LOL, this is going to be an interesting few months. Perhaps this is the October surprise waiting to happen.
Oh hell yes!
Bring it, Al!
Reminds me of an episode of Barney Miller, when a college student is arrested for constructing and possessing a contraption which (in the students's own words): "only lacks the fissionable material necessary for it to operate for its intended function" .....
An Atomic Bomb, of course ....
At the end of the episode, the kid remarks to Barney: "Last year I got a C in physics ... can you imagine what the ones who got A's and B's could do?"
I think the “rude awakening” is going to be by conservatives who seem to think that the public does not want HRC — the public may not particularly want HRC, but it wants BC and will do “whatever it takes” to make that happen.
Gore’s picture appears in the dictionary beside the word “buffoon”.
The problem with Gore V Clinton is the ultimate game of chicken.
Who has more on whom?
run hell... i'm lucky i can walk!!!
HRC, as you put it, is perhaps the most hated candidate in history. People may like or dislike the other candidates for many reasons, but you cant ignore the extreme negative emotion many have for her. This may prove to be a very motivating force when push comes to shove.
Awesome reply Eagle
Al Gore is the only one who can save us. Unless he becomes president, we are all doomed.
The dems hate knowing that shim will be their nominee...and would love bore to run 'cause they know shim will not win the election and their only great hope left is bore.
The long knives would come out if he were to run.
heard that...
yep
He’d end up in the Atlantic like JFK Jr.
Kerry said he wouldn’t support a candidate that was not trying to save Earth, when he announced he was not currently running.
Gore-Kerry 08 would mean you could overturn the terrible injustice of the last two [stolen] elections, and save Earth’s entire thin, fragile biosphere, with one vote.
Run, Algor!
I kid you not....Perusing the DUmmie threads today and literally half of them were regarding Gwhore and his prize. It is beyond idol worship and entering the area of truly bizarre. That being said, DU is very extreme, but one can figure that the Gwore worship among the non-DU (ab)normal lib crowd is at least half as much. God I hope he runs. And like you I am hoping it as a third party candidate. But I have my doubts that he is that stupid.

“On the left, those who love Algore love him very passionately. I don’t think Hillery gets that kind of admiration from anyone.”
I know that people adore Algore and have high hopes for him. But the Clintons surely have mechanisms in place to prevent him opposing Hillary, and have for years. Gore knows this, even if it hasn’t been specifically spelled out for him. However, he can and will continue to tease in order to get more and more money out of his followers. Pathetic.
Where can I send my check?
There is already a sustantial effort undersay in the Bay area to Draft the Goracle, and now that he has the Nobel, they are bound to be simply insufferable.
Babs Boxer is behind the movement, and the Hildebeest cannot be pleased. No doubt Willie is meeting somewhere in Harlem with minions of the Arkansas Mafia. so AlGore would be wise to maintain a low profile in Oslo...
Al isn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree, so people might actually buy that he choked on that Nobel medallion, trying to see if it really had a yummy chocolate center...

That's Alfred Nobel crying over what was done to his legacy

We want Gore! We want Gore!
Be careful what you wish for. Algore would be very formidable, and would have a great deal of sympathy that She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named will not have.
It would be enough to make many a man end up face-down in Fort Marcy Park. OF course, Al is so round he would probably end up rolling over on his side.
That’s interesting. Boxer’s daughter was once married to HRC’s hapless brother. Maybe there is tension there. But I think their socialist sisterhood would bind them together in eternity.
This is a good line, and Vincent Foster et al could affirm it.
LOL! Are you always that funny this early in the morning!?
We should all, as Green Party supporters, write to him and encourage him to run for the good “of the children”.
