If they insist on using the nuclear option to prevent we democrats from filibustering those nominations, I'll hold my breath until I turn blue. And I'll get howie dean to scream too."

I notice that Kevin has filed this post in the "Looney Left" category. Yet, he offers nothing to suggest that Former Vice President Gore is either "looney" or "left"— much less both at the same time.
What's going on here? Is it really just a simple matter of recognizing that anything any Democrat ever says is further argument that all Democrats are crazy and extreme leftists?

s9: Might I suggest three simple steps:
1) LOOK at that picture of Gore.
2) READ his book, "Earth In The Balance."
3) BORROW enough money from family, friends, or complete strangers and BUY A CLUE.
Perhaps Kevin should remember that while most Wizbang readers are intelligent and perceptive, we should be ever careful to not talk over the heads of some of the more clueless morons.

In some cases there's not enough money on this planet to buy the clues needed to fill in the gaps of the clueless. In this case I'm guessing that might be a minor problem compared to the resulting shortage of clues if there happened to be enoguh money.

...the pictures just might upset the psychological balance of your garden vermin, requiring counseling, that SOMEBODY will have to pay for (a new variant of PEST?).
So did you get your eco-permission slip from Al to go forward with your proposal?
Oh, oops...you'll also have to cover Al's rantings, and all the carbon dioxide you forced him to create while defending his policies.

Just wondering, since last I heard he was formulating The Pheonix Group for media onslaught, also involving, ahem, Al Gore.
It's coming...it's coming...the great big Lie is coming and it'll be plastered all over the internet and right quick.
I think also as to God's judgement, or so He says. Al Gore probably missed that part since he was too busy yelling, "he lied, he LIED, he LIIIEEED to you..."

Gore's verbal throwup was hardly the thing that inspires people to believe him or in him, much moreso, perhaps less, his message, whatever it was he said.
The method overrode all content, such that all that is now memorable (and likely will be in decades to come) is that Gore freaked out and embarrassed his own legacy by his ramped up bad behavior in that depicted speech moment (this thread).
So, we can either write depressed remarks about "poor Al," and "oh, woe," or curse the Light -- "damn them all to heyallll...." or we can make fun of this foolish demeanor and wasted moment before history.
It's best to laugh because surely there's far more than enough to cry about. Perhaps you were disappointed we didn't all write, "oil/bush/war=bad".
One note sambombastic, Al Gore, today's moveon/DNC: stampeding elephants, huge crushing judicial hammers on federal buildings, a party chairman enacting sniffing cocaine before the world's media...I just don't know what can ever be more pitiful than today's liberal community.
So, we can either rail on about hate or we can try to laugh at their absurdity. Since hate is a non-productive closed loop, I don't see the point.

Clive, I know you're into recycling and all that crap, but Gore's book came out about a DECADE ago. It was thoroughly debunked at the time. I don't have either the time or the inclination to do your homework for you.
And I told you this before, Clive: J. Edgar says don't wear the blue chiffon any more. It makes you look fat. Besides, it clashes with that little taffeta number of his.

It never ceases to amaze me how Gore was never criticized for his part in the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks. Here are the facts for those moonbat supporters of this unhinged dirtbag:
Gore headed a commission investigating airline security. Along with the usual "experts" and political hacks, family members of victims of Lockerbee were invited to participate. In 1996 (just in time for the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign), Gore released a report containing airport security guidelines. But the airlines balked and Gore told them that the report only contained "suggestions" for upgrading aviation security. Two weeks later, campaign contributions began pouring in -- contributions from the airline companies for the Clinton-Gore Re-election Committee. The report was shelved and the rest is history.
