Happened to turn on the tube last night just as Algore received his Oscar. The scores of useful idiots in the audience nodding in agreement to his blather was enough to make me puke...

Yours, Mike

Saying his name as one word makes it sound a bit better!

I didn't even bother to watch it! They took away my "America's Funniest Videos" show!

Must be a lot of sore arms today after all the self-congratulatory patting of their own backs at the Academy Awards last night. Somebody should tell Al Gore and company that an event in which the participants arrive in about 200 stretch limousines probably isn't too good for the environment.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Now, Boris, you know why some of us don't like Al Gore. He is the environmental equivalent of the war scare mongerer the left accuses VP Cheney and others of being.

Gore has always been a nobody. Even if you like Clinton, there is nothing equivalent to like in Gore.

Except for the fact that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, of course.

He was in good company on Oscar night. Birds of a feather.

If you want to have a substantive debate about Mr. Gore, fine, but lets not get bogged down in the silly internet thing...

If he is a scare mongerer, at least his mongering never got anyone killed (to the best of my knowledge).

Please note that I especially quoted him verbatim and did not claim that he invented the Internet. I was already well aware of the the misquote, so neither of us want to go there.

The same 'if' can be applied to Cheney, thank you.
