Al Gore to skip Democratic convention

Al Gore’s self-imposed exile from politics will extend to this week’s Democratic National Convention.

Citing “obligations in Tennessee,” the former vice president’s spokeswoman told POLITICO that Gore plans to skip the festivities in Philadelphia where his former boss’s wife will accept the Democratic presidential nomination. The Tennessean first reported Gore's decision earlier Sunday.

Gore remains one of the last Democratic Party luminaries not to make a formal endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Betsy McManus, Gore’s communications director, told POLITICO last fall that he’d wait until a nominee had been formally selected to weigh in. But it’s been more than a month since Clinton sewed up the necessary delegates, and Gore has maintained his silence on the 2016 presidential race.

Gore’s close friends and allies have in the past said he was staying quiet in order to make climate change a more potent issue with the presidential candidates and also because of his complicated relationship with the former first lady that dates back more than 20 years.

He doesn’t want anyone to see how fat he is now.


Al Gore is on a crash diet and working out like Rocky so when Hillary flames out he will be tanned , rested and ready.

He is all the Democrats have.

He fooled around on Tipper. THAT is part of the reason he is in exile, IMO.

Sixteen years ago, Algore had a net worth of $1.7 million.

Today his wealth has grown to more than $200 million.

Why should he go to Philadelphia? He doesn't need Hillary for a thing.

By the same token, the DNC certainly doesn't want this con-artist fraud$ter as a speaker at its convention for a multitude of reasons.

I’ll never forget algore bending that poor woman over, osculating her and using his prehensile tongue to play hockey with Tipper’s tonsils.

It’s seared into my memory. In an Outer Limits, bad way.
I could never forgive him, if he had not invented this wonderful interweb.

I thought he was to do the Global Warming speech outside beside the 4 mile wall in 100 degree heat.

Betsy McManus, Gores communication director.

Question??

Who’s paying her 15 years after he left political office?

They didn’t want him near the stage and he didn’t want to go to Philly to be a total nonentity.

ofc, nowadays he is a total nonentity.

If Fat Albert Gore is working day and night to save the earth from global warming, he’s been working at a glacial pace.

He's too old now to pedal his bicycle from Tennessee to Philadelphia.

Well, he could always sail his 100 ft. houseboat up the Delaware, and arrive in style.
