Gore pulled off Oscars stage before presidential 'announcement'
AFP ^ | Feb 26 12:49 AM US/Eastern

"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

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

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

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

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

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. ;)

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

...it's not funny.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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. :)
