Congratulations to Al. Tennesseans, whether they like him or not, should be proud. First Tennessean to win the Nobel Prize for Peace since Cordell Hull.
I hope he runs and saves the country from the current field, in both parties.
The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?
What I find intresting is 80% of those who are critical of Al Gore don't talk about facts, they repeat about what they heard someone they percieved as cool say about Al that sounded funny. Everyone wants to be accepted so the bandwagon has unlimited seats. He never said he invented the internet, but he did win the popular vote.
Yes he won the popular vote which means more were for him than for Bush. Which means to me the electoral voting process is flawed if it doesnt reflect the will of the majority, of course this flaw benefitted repubs so you must be ok with that. As far as blowhard that is relative, if he were repub he'd just be outspoken and vocal.We know what he said - and the fact remains that he is a blowhard.
Winning the popular vote only wins you the popular vote.

I'm okay with the outcome since that is the law of the land. Likewise, my opinion of Al is driven by his own actions and statements rather than his political affiliation.
I haven't asserted you only like Al because you are a democrat (I assume). Why marginalize my view by saying it is simply based on the party I tend to agree with more?
Al Gore brought attention to a serious issue by exaggerating and distorting facts. It would be nice to see someone (anyone) play it straight rather than work an angle to push their own agenda.
