Al Gore will be exposed if he runs. Exposed to fact checking by the blogs, which did not exist in anywhere near the numbers they do today. He will lie, and look the fool in minutes, not even given 24 hours. Day after day, the absurdity would accumulate, until it obscured any accolades anyone might try and point out about his "scienfific" achievements. Al Gore is clearly his own worst enemy, as he is too juvenile to own up to his own pronouncements. Values? He values sound bites, nothing more. Al Gore is as shallow as a piece of paper, and it will become impossible to hide this fact.
I agree. Contrary to the fulminations of this nitwit hack, Algore knows next to nothing about technology and science. He parrots soundbites and hopes it will pass muster with the MSN, as it probably will. But the bloggers, many of whom have more scientific and tech savvy in their little fingers than Algore has in his whole corpulent body, will take him apart.
A mediocre intellect can only fake it successfully among other mediocrities, as Algore will painfully discover in the next campaign.
