Al Gore Endorses Obama!

Ooooh so shinyThis afternoon Al Gore took a break from eating Cheetos and worrying about the climate in order to bravely post a blog entry encouraging his fellow Democrats to vote for the guy who all the Democrats will be voting for anyway. One thing is clear: You can take anybody and stick them in front of that Obama background and they will look 10 percent leaner, more youthful, and Hopier. [Al's Journal]

    Mozes Endorses Jebus! Yay.

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:01 pm, June 16th, 2008

    I wonder how many whales died pending his absence? How many Bald Eagles were mercilessly shot without his assistance? How many polar bears were raped without his care? The world may never know.

  3. Deepthroat says at 4:01 pm, June 16th, 2008

    mmmm…. Cheeetoooos

  4. Buffy and Hildegard says at 4:02 pm, June 16th, 2008

    From the I Had No Balls When It Counted Department.

  5. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:03 pm, June 16th, 2008

    …phew! Just in time, talk about CLUTCH!!!

  6. Happy Fun Ball says at 4:05 pm, June 16th, 2008

    What a bold move! It takes a lot of courage for Al to stick his neck out like this. In related news, I’m boldly predicting that the New York Giants won last year’s Super Bowl.

  7. From his 10,000 square foot energy scucking climate warming home. Get out!

  8. jagorev says at 4:09 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Thanks a fucking lot, Al. Maybe you could have endorsed back at any point in Feb-May and spared the party some damage? Jackass.

  9. Al Gore: wading in when it really counts.

    Buffy and Hildegard: Next stop, book publication of “I Lost My Balls to Global Warming” (to the tune of ‘I left my heart in San Francisco’).

  10. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:11 pm, June 16th, 2008

    I guess Hillary’s finally given up if she’s decided to let Al free to do this. You know that if he had done this before she dropped out she would have released a sex tape of him having sex with an endangered whale.

  11. Imagine42 says at 4:11 pm, June 16th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You took the words right out of my….keyboard

  12. NoWireHangers says at 4:11 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Even pasty bloated Al Gore looks good with Obama rays coming out of his ass.

  13. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:12 pm, June 16th, 2008

    You know who I think should LOSE World War II? The Nazis.

  14. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:14 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Botswana Meat Commission FC: I’m throwing my full support behind Benito Mussolini. He sounds like A REAL WINNER.

  15. confusionanddelay says at 4:14 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Gee, what a courageous move. Someone should give him a medal or something.

  16. Deepthroat says at 4:15 pm, June 16th, 2008

    “Again, please contribute to the contribution fund for contributions from contributers whom have contributed. I must go now, to help collect cans on Jupiter…”

  17. Buffy and Hildegard says at 4:16 pm, June 16th, 2008

    TGY: In Big Gay Al’s defense, I’m pretty sure Hill clipped him back in ‘92, and now keeps his jimmies in a jar of formaldehyde (next to Bill’s, Carville’s and George Stephapoopinghouse’s) up on the mantle in Chappaqua.

  18. Imagine42 says at 4:17 pm, June 16th, 2008

    I hear next week he’s going to endorse Clinton/Gore ‘96.

  19. DoctorCulturae says at 4:17 pm, June 16th, 2008

    ugh. great political instincts Al. Time to sulk back your freezer. Hopey’s like Whut! Yo comin’ out now cracker?

  20. In other news, Al Gore is making plans to champion a new bold and controversial scientific theory about the Earth going around the Sun.

  21. Happy Fun Ball says at 4:18 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Also today, Al Gore officially condemned Apartheid.

  22. Deepthroat: Obama/Mighty Moon Worm ‘08!

  23. Walter Sobchak says at 4:19 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Buffy and Hildegard: Holy hell, I gotta sign off for the day. I draw the line at imagery of Carville’s Balls.

  24. DoctorCulturae says at 4:20 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Buffy and Hildegard: When the Bitters come over she brings them out, putting a jar up next to her face, “And this one’s Ickes.”

  25. superfecta says at 4:21 pm, June 16th, 2008

    At least I was on the record that Big Brown was going to lose the Belmont in a big way in advance of the race; has Al Gore gotten the memo yet?

  26. Buffy and Hildegard says at 4:23 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Walter Sobchak: They look just like fuzzy grey raisins.

  27. Walter Sobchak says at 4:23 pm, June 16th, 2008

    It occurs to me that “Carville’s Balls” sounds like something you’d cook in a pit at an LSU tailgate. Kay, now I’m really leaving!

  28. Carrie_Okie says at 4:24 pm, June 16th, 2008

    NonDorsement

  29. Deepthroat says at 4:24 pm, June 16th, 2008

    AxmxZ: Wait, I thought we all agreed that Hillary should NOT be his running mate…

  30. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:28 pm, June 16th, 2008

    I look at that picture and can only wonder: When did Barack become an overweight white man?

  31. metropolitan says at 4:33 pm, June 16th, 2008

    so what does al gore have against women?
    sexist prick.

  32. stankfest says at 4:36 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore should keep his big fat mouth shut, in that way, the starving children of the world might get something to eat.

  33. Harvey Birdman says at 4:38 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Non-snark: in 04 he endorsed Dean over Droopy, er…Liberman, before Dean imploded. I figured Gore did’t think his endorsement was worth much and would only hurt his environmental causes with Hillary’s bitters.

  34. The Real JR Revisted says at 4:38 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Gore also added that he’s really pulling for Sam and Diane in “Cheers”.

  35. DoctorCulturae says at 4:40 pm, June 16th, 2008
  36. edgydrifter says at 4:40 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Gore also publicly called for a phased withdrawal of US forces from Vietnam.

  37. problemwithcaring says at 4:41 pm, June 16th, 2008

    He could have timed this better. Like 12 noon last Friday…

  38. ronaldpagan says at 4:44 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Thank fucking God! He was holding out so long I was totally convinced he was considering running as an independent.

  39. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:45 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore thinks penicillin is good.

  40. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:45 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore think Heidi and Spencer don’t deserve their degree of fame.

  41. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:45 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore endorses grilling in your backyard.

  42. The Real JR Revisted says at 4:48 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Gore also thinks his Betamax machine was the next best thing. But then he admits that perhaps he’s wrong and that he’s looking forward to seeing “Mask” on LaserDisc

  43. Imagine42 says at 4:50 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore supports Alaska’s admission as our 49th United State.

  44. choom gangster says at 4:53 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Al Gore is First Emperor of the Moon and has ridden the mighty moon worm.

  45. user-of-owls says at 4:55 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Give Al a break…he was just waiting to make sure Obama was on the right side of this whole controversial slavery issue.

  46. Deepthroat: I don’t even want to think about the logical implications of that, since Al Gore rode it.

  47. Buffy and Hildegard says at 4:57 pm, June 16th, 2008

    All Gore congratulates Admiral and Mrs. McCain on the birth of their son, John.

    Al Gore endorses the widespread use of the Bessemer process.

  49. Deepthroat says at 4:59 pm, June 16th, 2008

    AxmxZ: holy shit, i totally spaced on that and was only focusing on the similarity between Hillz and a giant worm that lives on the moon… Good call! You just elevated my comment to a whole new level

  50. Deepthroat: choom gangster: All snark aside, I’m prepared to forgive Gore just about anything for his voicework on Futurama.

  51. WIDTAP says at 5:55 pm, June 16th, 2008

    AxmxZ: Seconded. Welcome Back Al Gore’s Vice Presendetial Action Rangers - now with more Hawking Holes!

  52. bitchincamaro says at 6:33 pm, June 16th, 2008

    We all know that as a white guy he’s suffered
    terribley from Al Gore rhythm.

  53. Outstando says at 6:51 pm, June 16th, 2008

    This shit is straight out of Herman Kahn. Al Gore is Obama’s second strike capability.

  54. Eamon1916 says at 7:35 pm, June 16th, 2008

    I aspire to be hopier.

  55. edgydrifter says at 7:44 pm, June 16th, 2008

    WIDTAP: 10th level is pretty high for a vice president. That’s a tough class to play.

  56. asgardshill says at 8:12 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Oh, so Gore finally caught Manbearpig. Good - one less thing.

  57. ronaldpagan says at 8:47 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Isn’t this endorsement supposed to be happening now?

  58. Makeithurt says at 9:54 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Ain’t gun-dew-it. Al. Wudnt be prudint.

  59. DoctorCulturae says at 10:03 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Elections smatter.

  60. Shelly Borrell says at 10:09 pm, June 16th, 2008

    Give me a break — Who else is he going to endorse? Isn’t this a given? It’s just another RAH RAH event. Politics appears to be a sport rather than a noble mission. It’s a perpetual contest, while nothing continues to get done. I’m really sick of seeing this from both parties — By the way, there are more than two parties. The Media is doing America a dis-service by not TRULY being unbiased. It’s very frustrating to intelligent, fair minded people. That’s not a good thing for our country as a whole.

    shortsshortsshorts: Mussolini was indeed awesome.

    “Alright, Adolf. You take care of Poland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and the Soviet Union. We’ll make sure Ethopia doesn’t cause any problems.”

  62. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:24 am, June 17th, 2008
