Al Gore, Media Whipping Boy (Laugh riot and barf alert in one!)

CBS News ^ | June 30, 2007 | Eric Alterman.

could have been held by so many reporters to be a better choice for President than the two-time Vice President, Senator, Representative and environment and nuclear weapons expert

He forgot "Physics Expert" too.

While in the Senate, Algore used to sit in the hallways and leaf through a college physics textbook while pretending to read it. Other Senators and staffers could tell he was looking up to get at people's reaction more than he was actually reading the book.

Gore did it to try and fool people. He finally stopped when some friendly Democrat senators told him he looked like a complete fool.

Gore's college roommate, Tommy Lee Jones, attested to Gore's stupidity.

Do you have any references to this?

"An Inconvenient Truth" has turned out to be perhaps the most influential political argument by a private citizen since Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring."

Thank you for mentioning "Silent Spring", an earlier fraud.

I’m sure it would be useless to tell this writer that the federal Government was NOT to be the first responder during Katrina, panties on the head is not torture, a 10 year projected surplus was only just that made up by a dishonest adminstration during a bubble economy.

Clinton’s “successful” 2 term Presidency left this country’s economy slowing and heading toward recession, this nation vulnurable to terrorist attacks and our enemies’ were NOT being killed and their abilty to do this country harm was not being diminished.

G.W. Bush is the first President to have earned a MBA, he was a jet fighter pilot, the successful owner of a major league baseball team, a successful 2 term Governor of one of our largest states, Texas.

He has successfully lead the USA out of what could have been a devastating recession, has led the world in the beginnings of destroying our terrorist enemies.

Oh yeah, this morning, July 2, it was 48 degrees here in Sidney, Ohio. There’s lots I don’t sgree with about Bush, $5 billion annually from the federal government to study climate change is at the top of the list. If you’re a scientist and want some grant money are you going to question climate change?

Bush’s biggest mistake is trying to “get along” with the liberal, socialist Democrats. These people need to be defeated, nothing less.

[The Old Hoosier]

Eric Alterman is actually a staunch conservative with a wry and extremely biting sense of sarcastic humor....This whole piece is really a put-on.

I laughed so hard that I needed to clean the vomit off my screen.

[Graymatter]

Hey Al, it’s July 2 and there was FROST on my windows this morning. Where’s my global warmth?

[SPRINK]

is this one of those fake articles, it can’t be real...nobody is that stupid to say that Al Gore was treated unfairly in 2000.

[FastCoyote]

What’s really really sad is that Jorge Bush actually IS smarter than Al Gore.

In 1995 the White House hosted a major drug dealer at it's Christmas party, Mobster Jorge Cabrera. Gabrera gave $20,000 to the DNC. Besides being photographed in front of the White House Christmas tree withHillary, Cabrera was photographed with Al Gore at a Miami fund-raiser.The Clinton administration initially attempted to conceal the photo by arguing that a publicity shot with the Vice President is covered by the Privacy Act.

Cabrera was indicted in 1983 by a federal grand jury, on racketing and drug charges. In 1988, he was accused of managing a continuing narcotics operation. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges and served 54 months on prison .After his visit to the White House, Cabrera would be sentenced to 19 years in prison for transporting 6,000 pounds of cocaine into the US.

The media just wasn’t supporting algore successfully enough. The proof is algore lost.

[Calpernia]

>>>Eric must be smoking some powerful stuff.

Al Gore would know where to get it.

[Condor51]

Holy 'cow'. I think Eric has a HUGH crush on big Al.

Gore better watch it, Alterman sounds like a stalker :-)

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H. L. Mencken

RUN AL! RUN!

[NRA1995]

...extremist, incompetent, unprepared for office, addicted to cronyism and incapable of admitting even the simplest human error...

Pretty much my take on Mr. "No Controlling Legal Authority" aka Mr. "I-Was In-The-Bathroom-Because-I-Drank-Too-Much-Iced-Tea"

[zavvone]

Revisionist history at it’s best!!

[RightWingConspirator]

The room must have been filled with morons! Anyone referring to Al Gore, the guy who flunked out of divinity school and law school, as smart must be about of room temperature IQ himself.

[RightWingConspirator]

Both books were based on junk science. See this article for some details regarding the "environmental expert's" work.
