And the Consolation Prize Goes To ...


Poor Al Gore. He lost the 2000 presidential election. Let's give him an Emmy. (Didn't America "Ugly Betty" Ferrera win one of those this year?)


Poor Al Gore. He lost the 2000 presidential election. Let's give him an Oscar. (Didn't actor Denzel Washington also win an Oscar?)


Poor Al Gore. He lost the 2000 presidential election. Let's give him a Nobel Peace Prize. (Didn't terrorist trendsetter Yassir Arafat also win a Nobel Peace Prize?)


Even runner-ups get goodies.


Why is anyone giddy over the fact that the hate-America-first, anti-capitalist, Bush derangement syndrome types both here and abroad are lavishing the pompous Al Loser Gore with such meaningless accolades?
Will the former VP run again? Liberals dissatisfied with Hillary's "centrism," meaning she is not far enough left of Josef Stalin for their taste, would love for Gore to jump into the presidential race. I would be very surprised if he did, though.
Gore is about show, not accomplishment. He is having too much of a good time being loved to bother with the rough and tumble of politics. The truth of the matter is that Gore thought he was owed the U.S. presidency back in 2000. His daddy, a Senate Democrat who voted against the Civil Rights Act, had raised him to be president. Gore tried to steal the 2000 presidential election in Florida by demanding a vote recount of only the most heavily Democratic-leaning counties there and failed. Miserably.
