Look Out, Here Comes Al

Gore may be a man whose time has come in his party. It was he who warned of climate change and predicted its consequences. Hurricane Katrina was just a fulfillment of the prophesies Gore wrote about in his late-1980s book Earth in the Balance.

History indicates that candidates who won the popular vote but lost in the Electoral College have all come back to win revenge in subsequent elections. Andrew Jackson, cheated in 1824, won in 1828. Grover Cleveland, cheated in 1888, triumphed in 1892.

Could Al beat Hillary? If Mrs. Clinton persists in her support of the Iraq war, he could. But never count on Hillary losing an election over a principle. Its a bad bet. If she moves to the left on the war, as she already shows signs of doing, she would preempt Gore and Kerry and use her tremendous lead in fundraising and ex-officio delegates to cruise to the nomination.

Gore has three things going for him: A perception that he was robbed of the White House and Hillarys possible stubbornness in continuing to back the war.

The third thing? The weather. As the evidence of global climate change impresses everyone who doesnt work at the White House, Gore looks more and more like a man whose time may have come.
Morris, a former political adviser to Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and President Bill Clinton, is the author of Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race.

That's right! There were no hurricanes before "Earth in the Balance." Hey, does that mean that the hurricanes are Al's fault?

Well... Ah... One thing about age, okie... My jowls are now bigger and looser... so I can do my Nixon impersonation with more authenticity.
In a pig's eye, #2! Your rendition of me could not carry Rick Little's jockstrap! Now that I have made that perfectly clear... And that is a visual that will haunt me for years to come! ...Where was I?
Oh... yes... okie, my fellow American, the nation needs to know I was a victim of a great left wing conspiracy! And considering current events... If I should be condemned to hades to be forever up to my neck in boiling horse dung... I go willingly as I know when the time comes, I will be standing on Bill Clinton's shoulders... And he will be standing on Hillary's!
Don't think that these sound bites of his tirades will not be played a thousand times by the GOP if he gets he nod from the Dems. Also, the speech he made in Saudi Arabia a couple of weeks ago was despicable and, IMO, sealed his political fate for good.
Translation for the science-impaired: "Elect Al Gore! He'll quell the storms on the surface of the sun!"
ROFL!
I do believe the hurricanes are from a normal pattern, not from global warming.
Gore is such a loony.
