I just could not watch it. The TV was on, the 11 o'clock news on the NBC affiliate ended, and I just could not keep it on long enough to see Gore, flatulence sketch or not. Dignity, my Aunt Fanny. If he had any dignity, he wouldn't still be going around saying he used to be the next president.

Bloviator still wants to put a baseball stadium at Ground Zero:

What's in those cigars Alec Baldwin smokes? The actor has a grand idea where to put a new Yankee stadium: Ground Zero. According to U.S. News & World Report, Baldwin is waging a PR campaign to put the stadium downtown, calling his idea "a mix of the commemorative and the practical."

Practical would be putting on a muzzle on Baldwin.

Every game, suggests the actor, could begin with a moment of silence. Survivors of 9/11 and members of NYPD and FDNY would get discounted tickets. When the actor approached the Yankees with the idea, they raised eyebrows - and rejected it. But Baldwin isn't giving up the fight to bring attention to his political career, or to the project.

"It's the most interesting thing I have heard," Baldwin tells the weekly, defending the idea. "It's the best thing for the city." NY Daily News

More on the Goron moron:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Adding NBC's "Saturday Night Live" to his media blitz, former Vice President Al Gore donned a wig and gave a Democratic rendition of Republican Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott trying to recover from his now notorious remarks about Strom Thurmond's presidential run.

As SNL impressionist Darrell Hammond hosted a mock MSNBC "Hardball" public affairs show as host Chris Matthews, Gore was introduced as Lott. "Nice to be here, Chris," Gore/Lott said, wearing a wig resembling Lott's hair.

"Sen. Lott, high ranking members of both parties are calling on you to step down after your comments about Sen. Thurmond who was a segregationist. Should your bonehead behavior spell trouble for Republicans?," Hammond/Matthews asked.

Gore/Lott replied, blithely misstating Lott's position. "When I said our country wouldn't have all these problems if Strom Thurmond had been elected president it had nothing to do with segregation. I simply meant," he continued, "that things would have been better if Thurmond were president because he would have kept white people and black people separate." [Oh stop!]

As the audience laughed, Gore continued, "I just hate it when liberals take me out of context like that."

Replied Hammond/Matthews, "Why do I get the feeling you thought "Birth of a Nation" was the feelgood hit of the summer?"

The skit did not spare Democrats either, with a make-believe lead strategist for the Democratic National Committee making clear with comedic intensity her party holds positions identical to those of Republicans. "Republicans want to go to war with Iraq," she said. "We only support such a war."

Then Gore/Lott was given the opportunity to restate his earlier remarks, saying, "It has come to my attention that some of my comments about Strom Thurmond may have been construed as racially insensitive. Let me apologize." Then he went on to underline instead his supposed insensitivities.

"I meant no disrespect to any white people," Gore/Lott said. "I myself am a white man and some if not all of my best friends are white. Let me make this clear. As long as I am in my office we will leave no white person behind." [No, I mean it. My sides are splitting]

Replied Hammond/Matthews, "Senator, you're shedding a lot of light on the situation. Unfortunately the light is coming from a cross you just set afire."

The spokeswoman for the DNC then said, "The Democratic Party condemns Sen. Lott's comments. We believe they are deplorable and worthy of censure. Unless somehow it turns out that everyone's cool with what he said, in which case, so are we."

.... A skit shot on the studio location of the weekly "West Wing" television drama had Gore sitting in the replicated Oval Office, asking the staff to pretend he was president and finally remaining in the chief executive's chair for hours after everyone else had left and the set was closed down. full story, UPI
