Both Bush and Snow are gentlemen and rarely sink to the level of their counterparts.
What a stuipid question to ask at a White House press briefing. I LOATHE the enemedia.
President Bush and Tony Snow are experts at damning with faint praise—Absolutely devastating in that they can make the target feel inexplicably small and stupid, while appearing to be magnanimous. It takes smart men to be so wickedly nice and that makes it all the more effective against those who arrogantly perceive themselves to be geniuses Churchillian figures.
I find it extremely funny.
Too bad he didn`t say; "It's good to have a second career as a writer of science fiction." DOH!
I think Tony just said, "Well, bless his little heart!"
Translation: Gore's first career, as a politican, is OVER.
That's quite possibly the greatest left-handed compliment I've ever heard.
Tony's got a great whit.
Al Gore did not win an Oscar. "An Inconvenient Truth" won for Best Documentary, and the director, Davis Guggenheim, gets to take the Oscar home. Al was allowed a photo op, holding the Oscar up for photographers, while Guggenheim did his thank yous.
Does anyone think Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar because the movie in which he acted, "Departed," won Best Picture, and Scorsese won Best Director? At least Leonardo had a nomination.
In leftland, perception trumps the facts every time.
Tony Snow, Glenn Beck, and tonight's Fox radio news are all saying Gore won an Oscar. Why?

"The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average."
And a TAD bit Hypocritical!!!
