Part of what makes Gore’s rages against the machine such clown shows is that to establish any level of credibility Al must first get the audience to forget that he is the machine.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Al Gore, one of Hollywood’s favorite sons because of his commitment to the environment, rocked a large crowd in Beverly Hills on Tuesday with an impassioned plea to solve the “climate change crisis,” part of which is getting media right.

Gore lamented that a modern-day Thomas Paine would not be able to get his “Common Sense” message to the masses today because he couldn’t afford TV airtime, and he criticized the “rise of television at the expense of the printing press.”

But he was most animated, his voice pitching higher and lower and the volume steadily increasing, when he spoke of global warming.

“This is for real. It is not made up. The scientists are not in a conspiracy to lie to us,” Gore nearly shouted.

Gore then pledged to keep yelling until the temperature starts to go up again.

The Goracle also commented about former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor recently saying she regretted her decision on Bush v. Gore. What Gore wouldn’t say is that O’Connor’s “regret” wasn’t that she ruled against Gore’s appeal of the Florida Supreme Court’s decision, but that O’Connor now believes that in hindsight the U.S. Supreme Court should have refused to hear the appeal in the first place. Either way, Gore would still be on the outside looking in.
