Beam Me to Planet Gore !

This past week, I was having lunch at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan when my colleague noticed Al and Tipper Gore dining across the room with another couple. It was a frigid day, with record-breaking temperatures keeping most people indoors, and we were the last two tables in the restaurant.
As the Gore party started walking out of the room, my colleague called out, "Hey, Al, how's all that global warming working out for you?" Gore turned around and stared at us with a completely dumbfounded look on his face. He was speechless. With a smile, my colleague repeated the question, again to a hapless look of dismay.
Finally, Gore mumbled under his breath, "Wow, you sound awfully angry." I responded with a thank you, explaining to him that we were actually extremely amused. The encounter concluded with Gore's friend mouthing a very animated "f--- you" at us, and they skulked away. My only regret is that no one at the table asked Gore, "What's the matter? The polar bear's got your tongue?"
What struck me the most about this meeting was Gore's complete inability to utter a sentence addressing his life's work. The former Vice President, Nobel Prize laureate, and Academy Award-winning producer standing before us was a moron, unable to articulate a simple comeback to address all that he has stood for since leaving office. He could have simply ignored us and kept walking, as he does with reporters, but by stopping and standing there dumbstruck, he looked like a fool.

hmmm, yep, there are a few more than climate gate:
1. Health Care reform will cut the deficit
2. We will find $500 billion in medicare fraud
3. We need alternative energy (but not off our coast)
4. We are not at war with world wide terrorists
5. We will televise the health care bill as it is being put together on c-span
6. Barney Frank believed Fannie & Freddie were in great shape, never knew about his boyfriend’s prostitution ring or his marijuana plants
7. Chris Dodd was shocked to learn he had a sweetheart mortgage
14. Bill Ayers just happens to live in the neighborhood, I barely know him
15. I never heard Jeremiah Wright preach like that in 20 years of attending his church
16. We believe in the rule of law (unless you are a GM or Chrysler bondholder)
17. I authored my own books
18. No one will be compelled to buy coverage
19. No new taxes on employer benefits
20. Government can control rising health care costs better than the private sector
21. A public plan won’t be a Trojan horse for a single-payer monopoly
22. Patients don’t have to fear rationing (one of his bigger whoppers)
23. We will have the most transparent presidency
24. Obama lied about being asked to wear dead soldier’s bracelet: family had asked Obama to stop wearing it

Make no mistake about it, Al Gore is not a moron! He is a genius who has managed many other morons to part with $100 million dollars.
His life’s work is making money … wrong question asked. IMHO
This is great! Wish I could have been dining at that same restaurant.
I met John Kerry at a Boston Bruins game in 1988. On his arm was Morgan Fairchild. She was a sweetheart, he was a bitter schmuck.
I met Mike Dukakis as he was running for POTUS in 1988. A colder, less animated life form could not even be imagined.
I met Al Pacino at La Guardia airport in 1988. I called out, "Hey, Arthur Kirkland," (his starring role in "And Justice For All.") He came over, shook my hand and talked for two or three minutes. A class act.
I met Alan Keyes in Columbus after a rally. A true gentleman. I've voted for him twice and would go down with the ship if he were captain.
If only someone had been rolling some video of that exchange.
Site ‘Y’ near El Paso Texas.
“The encounter concluded with Gore’s friend mouthing a very animated “f-— you” at us, and they skulked away.”
A very good synopsis.
I can tell you with utmost certainty that if you had invited Gore’s pig friend to step outside and repeat the “FU,” he would’ve crapped in his diaper and ran away.
There is nothing on Earth more chickensh*t, more cowardly and more gutless than an American leftist. Every leftist I’ve ever confronted has run.
That’s my experience; yours may be different only because you didn’t sneer enough.
That doesn't necessarily make him a genius, just an accomplished con-man; very much like a Nigerian email scammer who preys on the most gullible.
Yep. I wish it were true. We need a General James Mattoon Scott today.
1988, it seems, was quite a year for you.
