BECAUSE HE DIDN’T READ IT: Al Gore’s polar-bear movie, The Inconvenient Truth, won a Grammy last night for best audio book. Barack Obama’s Grammy-winning audio book is so much better. [Broadway World]

    Oh great, just what Al Gore’s ego needs: another award.

  2. you cannot be serious says at 2:21 pm, February 9th, 2009

    Al Gore, go get your own damn fries, bitch.

    Move over, Howard Stern (remember him?) — Al Gore is now King of All Media.

    Can’t wait to hear the Stephen Colbert backlash.

  5. Doglessliberal says at 2:36 pm, February 9th, 2009

    Wait, his movie turned into a book turned into audio…? What next? An Inconvenient Truth: the Musical?

    If you don’t say “motherfucker” in your audiobook, you don’t get to be president.

    To clarify, here is a list of shit Al Gore has won:
    Oscar
    Grammy
    Daytime Emmy
    Nobel Fucking Prize
    NAACP Image Award
    Webby
    US Presidential Election*
    Manbearpig

    He didn’t read it himself, did he? Because that would be more dreadfully boring than the talking Al Gore doll.

  9. WagTehGod says at 2:40 pm, February 9th, 2009

    Isn’t movie to book a little backwards? Should we be expecting it to be carved into stone next? (And, obv, is there an award for THAT to satisfy Gore The Publicity Whore?).

  10. Doglessliberal: Don’t give Gore any ideas!

    “Mr. Gore, it’s an audio book — you don’t really have to say ‘could I have the next slide, please.’”

  13. mattbolt says at 2:48 pm, February 9th, 2009

    norbizness: It was read by a dull triumvirate of people who were willing to be paid in sandwiches in exchange for reading 100 pages each of scientific projections and graphs:

    Beau Bridges, Blair Underwood & Cynthia Nixon. Hey, remember her? She was that pale, ginger MILF who talked about her sexual needs on that show for ladies in the 90s.

    Doglessliberal: Dreams from My Father would make a great musical–music by Elton John, book by President Barack Obama–guaranteed Tony Awards!

  15. Colander says at 2:51 pm, February 9th, 2009

    mattbolt:

    He won America’s Illest Dance Crew or whatever last season, too.

  16. BillyClubb says at 2:53 pm, February 9th, 2009

    mattbolt: To be fair, he never found manbearpig, and yes, “I’m serial!”.

    mattbolt: oh jeebus

  19. Doglessliberal says at 2:56 pm, February 9th, 2009

    Come here a minute: nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  20. Texan Bulldoggette says at 3:02 pm, February 9th, 2009

    Two words: Lawk Bocks (Sigh………….)

  21. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:12 pm, February 9th, 2009

    cspurgeon: Colbert is going to be pissed. Finally, someone is going to take that Al Gore guy down a notch.

  22. hobospacejungle says at 3:33 pm, February 9th, 2009

    He’s talking, of course, about ManBearPig. Half man, half bear and half pig. Or, wait, half man, half bearpig. Or is it half bear, half manpig?

    norbizness: When I got the move from NetFlix I had to go back several times and replay segments because I kept drifting off. He’s got to be the most boring, monotonic speaker I’ve ever heard.

  24. Wake me for the sequel: An Incontinent Truth. It’s supposed to be an eye-opener or whatever.
