FORMER Vice President Al Gore lectured Diane Sawyer yesterday about her shallow questioning during a "Good Morning America" interview.

"Listen to your questions," an exasperated Gore said halfway through his morning sitdown with Sawyer.

He complained that she only seemed interested in "the horserace, the cosmetic parts" of the upcoming presidential campaign.

Yeah, we need a president who isn’t involved in all that celebrity nonsense…

Then she asked if Gore was trying to lose weight, a sign he might be considering running.

Have another Ring Ding, you fat idiot.

Al Gore lecturing people on shallowness is enough to make me snort coffee up my nose. How about those “earth tone” clothes in the 2000 race there, Al? Or that throwdown smooch on Tipper at the convention?

Gore is exactly right about the coverage of the candidates, but more in-depth coverage of the issues would doom his own party. If it can’t be put on a bumper sticker in a rhymed couplet, the Democrat Party can’t handle it.

Very true! The short attention span dem voters are only interested in the election on Monday night before the Tuesday. That’s why they moved MNF to ESPN............

Cover more than that and the available audience will get smal indeed. Through in some economic discussions and you can count your viewers on one hand.

New York Post material must be excerpted in all circumstances. No exceptions. Including the word “snip” when nothing has been “snipped” is a no-no. Consider yourself warned.

I vividly remember his vivid recollections of his boyhood spent plowing the fields of Tennessee with a horse-drawn plow, even though he grew up in a fancy hotel in DC with his corrupt senator father. But the horse-drawn cart story scored better in the focus groups than the shorty pants pampered rich kid story.

Al Gore has never had a thought as deep as his footprints.

And I am not kidding.

That’s TOO funny. DS is trying to lob in those softballs and not only is Algore is too stupid to whack them out of the park, he insults his sycophant at the same time.

Way to go, Algore!

Algore may have a point. But for Algore to lecture anybody about being shallow is laughable.

No need to get snippy.

If you more carefully compare the actual article to the version I posted, you will notice I did, in fact, snip the phrase “later this year” in the exact place where I noted that I snipped something.

There is an automated feature that tests to see if a post falls below the maximum number of words allowable for an excerpted article. If that feature does not accurately measure whether an excerpted article is excerpted to your particular satisfaction, perhaps you should change the automated feature, or at least more clearly explain your apparently arbitrary standards for excerption.
