Like a completely refurbished “pre-owned vehicle,” Al Gore seems to be positioning himself to Hillary Clinton’s left and as greener than John Kerry for a run at the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. His slogan might well read “reelect Al Gore.”
The former vice president’s slashing attacks on the administration and his stalwart, if misguided, opposition to the Iraq war leave him without the complications and complexes that will devil Clinton as she seeks to appeal to the unforgiving left of the Democratic Party.
And 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.” He has been an energy-conservation nut for years, and his obsessions with alternatives to oil will play better and better as we come to realize how our addiction to oil has led us to dependency on the dealers of this particular drug — Iran, the Saudi royal family and Hugo Chavez.

But Gore has three things going for him: A perception that he was robbed of the White House and Hillary’s possible stubbornness in continuing to back the war.
The third thing? The weather. As the evidence of global climate change impresses everyone who doesn’t work at the White House, Gore looks more and more like a man whose time may have come.

I guess Algore thinks he has this Nixon thing going on. After a couple years of this puke as president we would be slaves to Kyoto and all our brave soldiers would be under indictment to the ICC.
If I had to put money on who was more politically astute, more likely to know what American voters are thinking, and more intelligent, and my choices were Hillary and Algore, my money would be on The Beast in Pantsuits every time.
Algore wants to take your car away, "for the common good."
That will play real well in middle America, sure.
Do you think Morris is actually being serious in that statement? I took it that he was saying what he expected Algore to say.
Algore is a raving, mentally unstable, moonbat loser. This would be too good to be true for us.
Al and Tipper hate Bill and Hillary (it's very mutual), and I'm sure Gore would love to ruin Hitlery's chances at winning the 2008 dem nod.
The Democrat party is on it's last legs (those legs are Hillary's.....cottage cheese and fat ankles).
That is just unbelievable! How could he possibly be that unhinged? Hurricane Katrina? That is absurd! Only the enviro-lefties spouted that nonsense for fund-raising. I don't think even they actually believed it!
There, now I feel better! ;-D
I'll second that! Attila the Hen takes it for me! Da*ned clever.
Al needs Cindy for his Veep.
Yes, he wood.
I would bet that not one in twenty voters even knows he went there, much less what he said. And not one in a hundred 'rat voters would care, even if they knew.
So Big Al sold all his Occidental stock....bummer.
And the minerals.....did that toxic zinc mine out back of Al's home got cleaned up......?
