It appears that Al Gore is not running for President
In September of 1968, Richard Nixon made a brief and only slightly embarassing cameo appearance on NBC’s Laugh-In, where he said, “Sock it to me.” It didn’t cost him the election. It’s hard to know what former Vice President Al Gore’s appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live will do, but we can’t imagine it will be good.
Gore pretended he was President and was giving the public an update on his two terms from the Oval Office. It was pretty funny in spots. But Gore’s reference to a ‘made-up war’ and to the Supreme Court justices he nominated — George Clooney and Michael Moore — seem more useful to the RNC than the DNC. His reference to the loss of California (it was now Mexifornia under the leadership of El Presidente Schwarzenegger) was creepy, and the audience seemed unsure how to respond.
Perhaps oddest of all, given that SNL is broadcast from Rockefeller Center in New York City, is that 9-11 appeared never to have happened in the Gore administration. Instead, in a world magically transformed, Americans are somehow loved worldwide, Six Flags Teheran is “the fastest growing amusement park in the Middle East,” and Afghanistan has become the world’s number one “spring break” destination. The most logical interpretation of this fantasy is that, one way or another, 9-11 was Bush’s fault, as is the march of militant Islam worldwide. If that is a winning approach to running for President, then America is in even deeper denial than we imagine.

Just read the Tigerhawk’s post of the 12th:

Let’s just say that Bill Bradley is not one of those Democrats.
“He’s moving left. It’s a calculation,” said Bradley, who believes Gore will emerge in 2008 as an “environmental populist.”
Speaking to ABC News on the same day that the New York Post’s Deborah Orin had a “well-placed Democrat” saying in an unconfirmed report that Gore “owns a ton of Google” that he could invest in a presidential race, Bradley was supremely confident that his former rival is planning to get back in the game.
“I don’t think there is any question,” Bradley told ABC News. “He made $50 million on Google*. He’s got the money to do it.”
Hmmmm – if he’s not going to run for President. Will he try to be king-maker and stop BILL & HILL from chance at second go round in WH?
Another reason that order of info always seems to favor the LEFT – the “inventor of the internet” may have designed that system also.
