Al Gore

Desperate times call for desperate...Al Gore?

Democrats are reportedly getting close to hitting the panic button on Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy as the scandal surrounding her possession of top secret, classified information continues to get worse. Bernie Sanders is currently beating Clinton in New Hampshire and Joe Biden looks like he'll be jumping into the race sometime in September.

Democratic voters should forget about Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden. That’s what one analyst says.

“It’s time to draft Al Gore: If Democrats want to win, it’s clear neither Hillary nor Sanders is the way. Hillary’s flailing. Biden’s grieving. Bernie’s a longshot. Gore bridges the party’s establishment, progressives,” writes Sean Illing, a political theorist for Salon who has 10 reasons why he believes Mr. Gore is a viable alternative.

How the ex-veep came by his cable TV windfall remains heavily redacted. As with the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, let's hope both sides lose.

Al Gore sued Al Jazeera, saying it still owes him $65 million from the sale two years ago of Mr. Gore's unwatched liberal cable channel for $500 million. Al Jazeera says it's rightfully holding back monies left in escrow against breaches of contract by Mr. Gore's Current TV when he was still in charge.

Former Vice President Al Gore said he's optimistic about the future of the climate change debate, arguing Republicans are growing weary of global warning deniers.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Gore said climate change activists are in the process of "winning the conversation," just like activists won the civil rights movement.

It was the altitude. Yeah, that's it.
As liberal pundits cringed Wednesday night over President Obama's debate performance, Al Gore leapt to his defense with a curious explanation.
If Obama seemed like he had his head in the clouds, the former VP reasoned, perhaps it was because he was having trouble adjusting to the Mile-High City.
