Al Gore's Media Lovefest ( Belies grades of D's and C-minus )
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 26, 2006 | Dan Gainor & Amy Menefee

John Lennon once wrote that "All you need is love." If that's the case, former presidential candidate Al Gore is a happy man.

He is in the middle of a media lovefest celebrating his work, his career - even his efforts as actor, author, dancer and comedian.

The former vice president has both a movie and a book about global warming debuting under the title "An Inconvenient Truth." He has gone from media darling to "the summer's most unlikely movie star," as NBC's Katie Couric called him in a May 24 interview.

Gore, who Couric also called "funny, vulnerable, disarming, self effacing," isn't just a movie star, he's a media star. He has appeared or been mentioned on 23 news and news-related shows in just the last month ...

Some Inconvenient Truths

Gore is an ironic pitchman for science accuracy. Though he got an undergraduate degree in government and dropped out of two graduate programs (in law and divinity), Gore has become a "teacher" on the subject of climate change.

The Washington Post reported in a March 19, 2000, article titled "Gore's Grades Belie Image of Studiousness" that Gore earned a D and a C-plus in "natural sciences" at Harvard.

That didn't stop Gore from complaining about respected scientists during his "Today" appearance.

"There's really not a debate. The debate is over. The scientific community has reached as strong a consensus as you will ever find in science.

There are a few oil companies and coal companies that spend millions of dollars a year to put these pseudo-scientists out there pretending there is a debate," complained Gore.

The MSM has gone into full-blown meltdown attack mode. Siding with anyone and anything anti-Republican, Anti-American, Anti-morals, and Anti-values is their goal...

He may have flunked divinity school, but I've been saying all along, it got him a short tour in Nam! He volunteered for the draft as dressing, he anticipated an early out. I could never buy his story at all. The guy flunked life, how did he become a Senator? Daddy!

That's not how science works Alice, it draws its respectability from the fact that it rejects "voting" on what is factual and what isn't. Unfortunately, that seems to be going by the wayside on a few issues.

"All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn't apply to him,"

No! Really?!?!

That's a pretty good academic record for a man with a .223" hole through his noggin.

Gore should join Hillary is her support for a National Maximum speed limit of 55 mph.

Hopefully they will try to fly their jets at 40,000 feet within the 55 mph limit.../s

I have to spend eight hours in a car with a Gore loving liberal in a few weeks. I was hoping to find a bunch of Gore sound bites to burn to a disc to play for her but after a dogpile search I turned up nothing. Anyone got any ideas where I might find them?

And wasn't Daddy in the pocket of Armand Hammer, named for the Communist symbol?

Flunking out of divinity school is incomprehensible. Usually a student can graduate without any effort at all.

Does this mean that Hillary is about to take it in the shorts? Everyone is in love with Al now?
