Al Gore an "environment and nuclear weapons expert"?! I can't get off the floor, I'm laughing so hard!! Did Eric drink the bong water or the Kool-Aid (or both)?

[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.

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.

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

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

...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"

I’m sorry but I stopped reading at the words Eric Alterman

That Al Gore's 2000 presidential candidacy was treated unconscionably by most members of the mainstream media is not really arguable by sentient beings.

Sentient beings -- obviously excluded himself (J. Alterman, the author).

Laugh riot, indeed. The line above starts it out in a rollicking manner and just doesn't stop...

To use Eric's own words:
Evidence? Zip.

Gore's movie, he said, was "smug and self-centered" — again, no evidence.

Some things are self-evident.

Thanks for this post. I needed a good laugh!
