Joe Klein obviously gets paid for his columns, regardless of whether they make a sense.

Al Gore is sooo 2006.
I wonder how far this 'global warming myth' will have to progress before a Florida native can stand to live in Canadia?
I'm getting a whiff of some not quite composted household waste from somewhere in the vicinity of Virginia or Maryland. It seems to be spreading.
Maybe its only a sewage spill in the Potomac.
Maybe I'll finally get that checque from Nigeria.

Mr. Klein; Whenever I've drawn that scenario in scattered comments around the web, I've always had Gore getting it on the fourth ballot. I sometimes throw Hillary the Majority Leader post like a bone and I've often pointed toward '68, the last time the Dems tried something similar, as why such a scenario may not be desirable.

Kleiny ... are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah, but if kangaroos had pockets, wouldn't they be more hip?

@Naked Bunny with a Whip: You should see what Hillaryous did to L'il Al after the cameras were gone. She fought back each surging temptation to yield to her gag reflex - and the tears of sweet, sweet vengeance - all the while muttering "Bubba, Bubba"..... which Al mistook for moaning. When she was finished, she let a little DNA dribble onto her green shamrock scarf as a keepsake. And has worn it each year ever since, just to taunt Bubba.

Sorry, but that horny imagery was instigated by thoughts of a Naked Bunny With A Whip. I take no responsibility.

@jwbixby: Totally. And then they try to hedge their bets by going, "Well, more likely than not this won't happen" and "the odds are against this." You think, Joe?

I love when pundits get so deep in this shit that they confuse what's technically possible for what could realistically occur in the physical world of humans.

It is widely assumed that Gore has less chance than either Hillary or Barack.

Wouldnt it just be easier to man up and ask Jesus to run? Or maybe Obama could broker a deal with McCain under which we just wouldn't have a government for a few years. If it works well, Congress could pass one final bill giving every child a unicorn, disband, and we could all walk in peace.

If Al Gore didn't have that goddamn effeminate lisp thing going, he would be president today, even despite Rove trying to steal the election.

Rottenart — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:31:42 EDT

So, if that happened, that would make this what... 972 times he's tried to get the voters to pick him and failed. Gore's smart enough to realize that we passed on him long, long ago. Now, if only we could get him to actually DO something about climate change instead of playing with a scissor-lift...

They should nominate Walter Mondale instead. The dems are always trying to find new ways to lose. A Mondale/Spitzer ticket would be a way to go. (I'm not sure if Mondale is alive or not, but it would be even more likely if he was dead.)

He's right. What a great way to appease the feud between the first viable female candidate and the first viable black candidate! Send in the rich white guy! That should solve all of the problems in the party. He'll solve this problem just like he solved global warming...

On the plus side, at least JK suggested Al Gore instead of HoDean. Mind you, Al Gore is about as good for the "party" as is a mean case of amoebic dysentery.

OOOOOOOR!!! We could nominate Knuk to be president(being the attention whore that he is) and the he can take Ashely Dupre as his running mate(considering that the media is so fukkin retarded that they would follow her right off the edge of the grand canyon). And then we could all live happily ever after with whores and Coke-Cola for everyone!!!

I've been liking liberals so much since they've gotten over their crush on Gore and moved on to Obama. It would suck if this overrated blowhard somehow got back into the picture.
