Where's Al Gore?

Where's Al Gore? By: Andrew Restuccia September 5, 2012 04:30 AM EDT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In 2008, Al Gore strode onto the stage at Denver’s Invesco Field to a hero's welcome, throwing his support behind Barack Obama to take on the "global climate crisis."

When Obama takes the stage this week, Gore will be nowhere in sight.

He isn’t coming to the Democratic National Convention but is spending the week in New York City, anchoring coverage of the event for his network Current TV.

Gore's evolution over the past four years — from a central figure in the Democratic Party to a no-show at its biggest event — matches what has happened to the issue of climate change itself, which moved to the sidelines alongside its chief crusader, environmentalists and some Democrats say.

It’s not like Gore hasn’t noticed — and his frustration with Obama has been on display. He’s leveled criticism at Obama for abandoning the push for a climate change bill. He accused him of failing to use the bully pulpit to spread the word about the dangers of rising global temperatures. And he faulted Obama for putting off tough new smog regulations.

On the other hand, Gore has also offered some defense of Obama’s record and says that “I would fear for the future of our environmental policy” if Mitt Romney wins the election.

I think he’s trying to get some massage girl to rub his Bill Clinton.

Algore is just another honky cracka. They don’t need his type at the DNC convention.

He has been relegated to the ash heap of irrelevance. :-)

I wonder what colour the sky is in Al Gore’s world?

He’s lied and deceived so many people, and for so often over this past decade that he’s actually become somewhat delusional and is starting to believe in his own falsehoods. Now even his own party is starting to ignore his rants and ravings. The good news for Al is that there are enough people out there with turnips for brains who’ll gladly follow and fund him regardless of whatever truths are exposed about the man and his shysterism of the Global Warming/Climate Change myth.

It’s good to be Al regardless, ‘cause the money just keeps a come’n on in.

I would have loved to see him slip into his black preacher personna. At this point he’s probably even too nuts for the DNC to take the risk. Isn’t it also about time for John Kerry to report for duty?

"Where's Al Gore?"

Hopefully floating on a piece of ice with a large, hungry polar bear.

Where's Al Gore?

Home, still muttering to himself that he won the popular vote.

Al is mad because LOSING 25 BILLION in the GREEN LOAN PROGRAM under obama is not nearly enough to halt the AGW coming disaster. We should have lost at least 100 billion to show we are serious.

The old Al Gore stereotype was the guy raising money at the Buddhist Temple.

He wanted to erase that so threw himself into Global Warming.

Now the new Al Gore stereotype is that picture of the fat guy glowing hot air all over the globe.

(I really believe that he probably turned down a DNC invite because he didn't want to remind any fat-wallet viewers that he's a prime target for suing.)
