How can they voice such implications on the world’s leading savant on global worming?

Al Gore has become a joke and an embarrassment to sanity and rational thought. The left, as usual, simply lags behind the rest.

yet cites the likes of Paul Krugman and Joseph Wilson as decent and fair-minded commentators.

LOL!

“broadband interconnection is supporting decentralized processes that reinvigorate democracy.”

In other words, FR rules!

...where Bill Clinton has always seemed too comfortable in his skin, Gore has often seemed inclined to burst out of his, like some demented political version of the Incredible Hulk.

To this reviewer, Al Gore is Michael Moore squeezed into a suit.

I love the line about "it's like being locked in a room with a madman," but THIS line gets Gore down perfectly:

"For just beneath that aging prep-boy facade, there’s an unmistakable anger and bitterness; where Bill Clinton has always seemed too comfortable in his skin, Gore has often seemed inclined to burst out of his, like some demented political version of the Incredible Hulk."

Al Gore is one of the bitterest little men I've ever seen. He is offended by the idea that someone dares disbelieve him.

There’s definitely something about him that just doesn’t seem ‘right’, and it’s much different in comparison to before he lost the lost presidential election. He’s always sounded to me that he was ‘speaking down’ to people, but that is now mixed with anger.

[Al Gore is now a name brand with whom a certain stripe of leftist is eager to identify.]

This helps to explain AlGore’s conversion from legislative policy wonk to eco-zealot; this new name brand is PROFITABLE. As long as he continues to be the “environmental prophet” and preach fire and brimstone (as a consequence of anthropogenic global warming) the donations will continue to pour in to the Ministry of AlGore from the flock of faithful liberals.

His eyes even bulge when he does it.

Clearly "off the rails." Gone politically postal. "Nuttier than a squirrel turd," as one FReeper says.

The reason for this is the same as in my post #14. AlGore is the “fire and brimstone” preacher excoriating the multitudes of sinners to repent (and keep sending those checks to the Ministry of AlGore!*).

*and buying the latest books and bumper stickers from the stores

Gore could never hope to better a great man like Ward Connerly intellectually so he tried to do so physically, in a setting where no one would expect such physicality.

This idea that emotion-driven, irrational liberalism is based on logic and intellect, while conservatism is based on raw emotion, is one of the more brazen lies the left has been propagating lately.

Didn't Gore drop out of a divinity school for preachers?

He the blatant LIAR that claimed two billion people participated in Live Earth when the TV and internet ratings companies worldwide could only account for about 40 Million, or two percent, of his claimed audience.
