"Even though I honestly had not planned on doing this, I guess with a billion people watching, it's as good as time as any. So, my fellow Americans, I'm going to take this opportunity right here and now to formally announce my intention..."

But suddenly the Oscars orchestra struck up its keynote tune, signalling that Gore and DiCaprio had overstayed their time and had to leave the stage

[ImaGraftedBranch]

That's the French for you. They did not know it was a spoof.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Were the Oscars on recently?

[verity]

"I'm going to take this opportunity right here and now to formally announce my intention... to shave off my hair and enter rehab"

[kinoxi]

They just needed a time out for more hair gel, that's all.

[siunevada]

Since he's now in the biz, I wonder what the subject of Al Gore's next film project will be?

[ryan71]

I'd give anything if he would run. He would add the third ring to the three ring circus.

[neodad]

It was a joke.

[MadIvan]

I don't believe he's running. However, the moonbat wing loves him so much they're not willing to relinquish the idea.

Yes, I saw it. He wasn't really announcing his candidacy--he was joking.

Of course it's Al Gore, so it's kind of hard to tell sometimes. ;)

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

That's the French for you. They did not know it was a spoof.

If people can't tell when you're joking....

...it's not funny.

[arthurus]

I want him to run. I don't care what his real chances might be. I do not fear any of the major candidates of either party any more than the others. He would definitely add some entertainment to what is shaping up to be a national disaster no matter how it comes out. I pray that the good supremes that we have will all hold up for 20 more years.

[silverleaf]

If I had known Al was going to get the GONG I'd have watched his bit!

[ardara]

Think of all the important stories that never make it in the MSM.

[stockpirate]

I hope he does run, boy that would really get Hillery's goat.

[angkor]

Gore is probably THE threat that any Republican nominee will face. Rumor has it he's been greatly enriched through his Google options, one "insider" saying he could jumpstart a campaign from his own pocket.

IMO Obama's candidacy has sunk Hitlery, and it looks like the two will genuinely come to hate each other within a few months. Hitlery also will do herself extreme damage by running a slash-and-burn campaign against Obama.

OTOH Obama doesn't have the creds to run for POTUS. So with Hitlery being naturally repellent and becoming even more so over the next 6 to 12 months, the only choice for the Rats will be Gore.

So the remaining question is whether Gore - who sits on multiple boards, is now quite wealthy, owns two companies, and now has his filmmaking hobby - will be interested.

[demkicker]

I'd give anything if he would run. He would add the third ring to the three ring circus.

Ditto... Very well said!

[MadIvan]

Agreed - an Obama - Hillary and Gore fight is desirable - let them kill each other.

Regards, Ivan

[Mr. Lucky]

Oscar who?

[proud American in Canada]

Think of all the important stories that never make it in the MSM.

That's true. Very sad, but very true.

Some good news about reconstruction/positive steps in Iraq? Anyone?

*crickets chirping*

I'm just as guilty as anyone. I've actually searched out news about Britney Spears recently, something I've never done before. Now that's pathetic. :)

[StoneColdTaxHater]

Oh Darn!

[PUGACHEV]

"I want him to run.

You shall have your wish. I'm certain of it.

[eeriegeno]

Were the Oscars on recently?

I think they were on about a year ago!!!!! Read that somewhere, in a bathroom stall I think.

[Ouderkirk]

I believe that he is going to run again. He's going to let Hillary, Osama Obama, and John Edawrds duke it out for the next nine months. Then Gore can be the shining White Knight who rides in to save the day once Hillary and Obama have knocked themselves out of contention.

He has a solid loony left backing, a proved track record as a winner (/sarc). With Hillary, Obama and Edwards bloodied from a brawl, Gore can show up as a uniter take Obama as VP and run to the center.

Whether he can win the general remains to be seen, but I think that he would do very well in the primaries.

[Izzy Dunne]

Oscar who?

Oscar the trash-talker. Apparently he gives out awards for the trashiest films:

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Gore can only joke about it. He knows Hillary will literally kill him if he gets in her way.

[tarheelswamprat]

OTOH Obama doesn't have the creds to run for POTUS. So with Hitlery being naturally repellent and becoming even more so over the next 6 to 12 months, the only choice for the Rats will be Gore.

Best keep an eye on Evan Bayh.

[yankeedame]

Since he's now in the biz, I wonder what the subject of Al Gore's next film project will be?

About how "they" (cue the sinister, Darth Vadar music) stole the 2000 presidency from him.

[Always Right]

If people can't tell when you're joking.... ...it's not funny.

Well Gore learned all he knows about comedic timing from John "the jokster" Kerry.

[reagan_fanatic]

I have absolutely no stomach whatsoever for watching what amounts to a Hollywood democratic circle-jerk.

I haven't watched the Oscars in years, and after what i've heard about this years liberal orgy, I am quite satisfied with my decision.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

If you don't work on you're timing, and have no sense of humor, you wind up stuck windsurfing on Nantucket.

[MadIvan]

I think Gore is the candidate that, inexplicably, inspires the most enthusiasm amongst them. This is in spite of the fact that if you look in the dictionary under "has been", his photo is present.

Regards, Ivan

the liberal/socialist left wing mantra:
global warming is the menace of society
global terrorism is a right wing conspiracy
GOD help us if a lib wins the big house in '08

I saw the clip this morning, and...it actually was funny. Especially coming from the Goron, who's genetically unfunny.

Somebody must have pulled the redwood out of his butt for a few minutes.

[posterchild]

Apparently he is working on a book titled The Assault on Reason which is about 'claimed trend in U.S. politics towards ignoring facts and analyses when making policy decisions.' Sounds like something he can be an expert in.

[alicewonders]

I agree. I think he is going to wait awhile & then let the people "clamor" for him to run - he's got the youth votes locked in, they love him.

I've said before, I don't think Hillery will be the candidate. I saw on Fox & Friends this morning that her camp has announced that no one is allowed to ask questions of her on the campaign trail about her husband's past indescretions or record as president. Pretty soon, Her Hindness will have to "go into hiding" to be able to campaign effectively.

Of course, the media will be only too happy to help.

[leilani]

I saw it this am & I thought the gag worked pretty well too, lol.

But this is AFP - if Jerry Lewis isn't around to do a pratfall, they just don't get the joke!

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I want him to run, and I'm not ruling it out yet.

A few more weeks of Her Heinousness and Obama sniping at each other, and he might decide he could very well jump in and take the nomination from both of them. Throw in the fact he and Tipper both hate The Witch, and it's going to prove very tempting.

As for Edwards, I don't think anybody is taking him really seriously. Like McCain, he's had his 15 minutes, now he's jumped the shark...

[montag813]

Anyone want to bet David Geffen arranged for Gore's interruption?

[montag813]

Yes, I saw it. He wasn't really announcing his candidacy--he was joking.

At least he has a sense of humor. Hillary is filled with hatred and will do nothing but settle scores and prosecute enemies once in office. Gore seems like a decent guy who is misguided about the environment. Given a choice, I would take Gore over Hillary in a heartbeat (not to mention over Obama Hussein, who is sure to re-convert to Islam as Presdient).

[Christopher Lincoln]

I believe you're right!

[Christopher Lincoln]

I wondered whether Gore as President would force federal agencies to falsify their reports to conform to his fantasies. The answer, evidently, is Yes.

[period end of story]

No doubt is was planned.

[MortMan]

What's an Oscar, and does it come with a Felix?

[dakine]

For some reason I think of Gore as Nixon/68.....

[HOTTIEBOY]

Gore, vice president under Bill Clinton, narrowly lost the 2000 presidential race to now-president George W. Bush.

Now that is scary. Good Lord, we would all be wearing turbans right now and singing kumbayyah around an organic compost heap.

...those of us that still had our heads, that is.

[a_screen_name]

Gore looks like the love child of Laurel and Hardy

[TruthWillWin]

It was a joke.

Yes it was. Al (Forest) Gore is a joke.

[dfwgator]

That was as staged as his kiss with Tipper.

EEEEEEUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
