Vice President-elect Joe Biden has picked former Al Gore aide Ron Klain to be his chief of staff... Klain is the latest ex-Clinton administration official selected for a high-profile job in the coming Barack Obama presidency.

Third Way, a progressive think tank with ties to the Democracy Alliance, has removed newly appointed Ebola czar Ron Klain from its website, following a Washington Free Beacon report. The Free Beacon reported Friday on Klain’s status as a trustee for Third Way, and his past experience lobbying on behalf of a drug company that was accused of denying life-saving drugs to dying cancer patients. The choice of Klain to head the administration’s emergency response to Ebola was criticized as a political move. Klain is a political operative with no medical experience and a former advisor to former Vice President...

FULL TITLE: It's Infuriating! Gore's Refusal to Accept the Legitimacy of the 2000 Election Still Has Harmful Ramifications to This Day RUSH: Look, for those of you just joining us, I want to run through some things very, very quickly here again, at the risk of repeating myself for those who have been listening since the beginning of the program, top of the previous hour.  This is so overblown and it is so out of proportion.  I would wager that everybody acting so outraged over this knows full well that Donald Trump was not promising to blow up this country...

Bush 2000 Brendan Nyhan Political scientist and media critic On WashingtonPost.com, Chris Cillizza reports that the Clinton campaign is denying an AP story stating that Hillary will concede tonight. More importantly, though, notice how Cillizza describes her rationale for continuing: The Clinton campaign, in fact, released a statement insisting that the Associated Press story that fueled this maelstrom was not correct; "Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening," the statement asserted. Language is important here. An acknowledgment of Obama securing the delegates he needs to formally become the...

President Obama and former Vice President Al Gore hit the campaign trail Tuesday in key swing states, urging voters to reject Republican Donald Trump — but the president’s rally was derailed several times by protesters wearing t-shirts and carrying signs proclaiming, “Bill Clinton is a rapist.” The interruptions, presumably by Trump supporters, temporarily took Mr. Obama off message as he was forced to address the hecklers.

MIAMI—Former Vice President Al Gore on Tuesday returned to the campaign trail in Florida, where his 537-vote loss cost him the White House in 2000, presenting himself as “exhibit A” on the importance of voting. “Please take it from me: Every single vote counts,” he told 1,600 people at a rally here with Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton. Mr. Gore reminded younger people in the audience that his loss to Republican George W. Bush was “very close”—so close that many Democrats believe the outcome would have been different if the Supreme Court hadn’t halted a recount of ballots.

Al Gore laid out the environmental stakes of the presidential race in stark terms during a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton Tuesday, arguing that electing her opponent would lead to “climate catastrophe.”

UNE 24--In a bizarre statement to police, the Oregon woman who claims that Al Gore fondled and groped her during a massage session described the former Vice President as a giggling "crazed sex poodle" who gave a "come hither" look before pouncing on her in a Portland hotel suite. In a taped January 2009 interview with cops, the 54-year-old woman, a licensed masseuse whose name has been redacted from police records, read from a lengthy prepared statement that detailed her alleged October 2006 encounter with Gore at the Hotel Lucia. Excerpts from the Portland Police Bureau transcript of the 2009...

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, alongside Former Vice President Al Gore, are holding a campaign rally at Miami Dade College’s Kendall campus, Tuesday afternoon.

Former Vice President Al Gore will campaign with Hillary Clinton for the first time on Tuesday. Gore, who served as Bill Clinton’s vice president for eight years, will discuss the dangers of climate change, and what is at stake in the November election. His 2006 documentary on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth, won an Oscar. As the Washington Post reported, Clinton’s campaign is hoping Gore will help Clinton appeal to millennials who list climate change as a core issue.

Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming next U.S. President took a major hit this week as rumours strengthened that Al Gore will be supporting her campaign. According to WaPo: The decision by Gore to plunge into the campaign during the final weeks shows the extent to which Democrats remain concerned that Clinton has yet to connect with many millennials

With Bill Clinton, it was intimate telephone conversations with his young intern Monica Lewinsky and their infamous cigar. And with Clinton's former vice-president, Al Gore, it is now, apparently, a pair of a stained black trousers. It seems that this everyday item of clothing now threatens to bring this most sanctimonious of moral crusaders crashing down into the gutter. Currently encased in an official plastic bag as police evidence, they are owned by a masseuse who claims that the former American vice-president forced himself on her - and DNA evidence on the trousers can prove it.

Former vice president Al Gore will start campaigning for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to individuals briefed on the plan, in an effort to mobilize young voters who see climate change as a key issue. The decision by Gore to plunge into the campaign during the final weeks shows the extent to which Democrats remain concerned that Clinton has yet to connect with many millennials, some of whom are backing third-party candidates this year.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) denied Friday that George W. Bush won Florida in the 2000 presidential election, saying Al Gore won it and the Supreme Court elected Bush to the presidency. MSNBC reporter Hallie Jackson did not push back on Schultz’s claim. In fact, she agreed. Bush won the state by an official tally of 537 votes after a prolonged recount period that eventually went to the Supreme Court... "The Supreme Court elected the president," Schultz said. "Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency."

The New York Times served warning Thursday night that Hillary Clinton is considering inviting Al Gore to burn some jet fuel with her on the campaign trail and lend his credentials as a noted climate scientist to her rallies.

For a while there, the polls were all wrong because they said Donald Trump was losing. But now the polls are saying that Trump and Clinton are fleshy, wrinkled neck and fleshy, wrinkled neck. Now we can all start trusting the polls again. Whew! I don’t want to say Hillary is panicking, because who knows if she’s even conscious right now. But it sounds like her campaign is trying to regain the lead by bringing in some star power. Somebody the American people cherish. Somebody like President of the Environment Al Gore.

Liberal billionaire George Soros gave former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental group millions of dollars over three years to create a “political space for aggressive U.S. action” on global warming, according to leaked documents. A document published by DC Leaks shows Soros, a Hungarian-born liberal financier, wanted his nonprofit Open Society Institute (OSI) to do more to support global warming policies in the U.S. That included budgeting $10 million in annual support to Gore’s climate group over three years. “U.S. Programs Global Warming Grants U.S. Programs became engaged on the global warming issue about four years ago, at George Soros’s...

The daughter of former Vice President Al Gore appeared Friday at a hearing in West Roxbury Municipal Court after she was arrested for protesting the construction of Spectra Energy’s West Roxbury Lateral pipeline. “This pipeline is being built in West Roxbury against the will of the community. Elected officials have opposed it,” Karenna Gore said outside of the courtroom. “We’re in a position with climate change where, if we just keep on going like nothing is wrong and continue to use fossil fuels… then we are really headed for the worst.”
