Al Gore Might Yet Join 2008 Contenders

Former Vice President Keeps Mum As His Movie Sparks Talk of a White House Run

First there was Clinton-Gore. Could Clinton vs. Gore be next?

For former Vice President Al Gore, a rash of favorable publicity surrounding this month's opening of his movie "An Inconvenient Truth," and the growing political resonance of its subject -- global warming -- are stoking the most serious speculation about a Gore political comeback since his loss in the 2000 U.S. presidential election.

Apparently not content with causing the Evildum/Evildee 2000 debacle; certain democretins have slapped a new coat of paint on Al Gore and are trying to pass him off as the New Model Democrat before the shellack is even dry. Do they really think we're going to vote for this Beltway Android just because he produced an agitprop pic? Sheesh!

Do they all go for that expression when they're confronted with their minor sins? I tried making the same face, out of curiosity. It's terribly uncomfortable; when I checked in the mirror, I looked very silly. It felt, for whatever it's worth, like an interrupted snarl of rage. Perhaps they were repressing the urge to lunge forward and bite into the throats of their persecutors. The hard, reptilian glint to their eyes suggests as much.
