Political Speculation About Al Gore More Important to Media Than His Mission

Bill O'Reilly would rather feed the idea of Democratic chaos with Al Gore speculation than focus on some real issues like, for instance, the global climate crisis. After an article by Joe Klein, 3/26/08, provocatively titled "Is Al Gore the Answer", the speculation got started. 3/31/08

O'Reilly's Top Story, 3/27/08, was tagged "The Gore Factor" even though Al Gore has said numerous times that he won't run because he's too busy raising global awareness of the climate crisis. Patricia Murphy, political blogger, joined John Kasich to add another component to the picture of Democratic chaos promoted by FOX News. Murphy opened with the perfect line."The last thing the Democrats need, is another candidate."Both acknowledged that Gore probably wouldn't run but it gave them another opportunity to discuss Democratic conflicts.

Then Kasich stoked the fire a bit speculating that Gore would have a lot of support."Gore was the first Democrat who really took on Bush on the war in Iraq, and there was tremendous enthusiasm for him to enter the race. Within the base of the Democratic Party, Al Gore could be met with real enthusiasm." ( Kasich didn't discuss the work that has taken Gore's focus away from politics)

Last night, 3/30/08, Al Gore in an interview ,by Leslie Stahl, on 60 Minutes announced a huge advertising campaign he's launching to try once again to get the attention needed to solve the escalating climate crisis. Each ad will have unlikely pairs like Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson and Nancy Pelosi with Newt Gingrich to show how this is a non partisan and non political problem that affects everyone. Gore also revealed that he had contributed his Nobel Prize money and matched it with personal funds to get the project going.

And that is why that Telegraph UK POS article that got frontpage billing here should not even have been acknowledged. It is insulting to Mr. Gore to now place more emphasis on that BS that only gives the RW asses more fodder than to focus on his work which is what he believes in his heart and soul is truly important now, and it also feed the distraction so many hope for. Which leads me to wonder who is really behind the names pushing that unsubstantiated crap here and elsewhere all of sudden just as his campaign initiative through The Alliance for Climate Protection is being launched.

1. This post looked so lonely

sitting here by itself I thought I'd let folks know that there are some of us who think Al Gore could do the most for his cause if he were President. To that end, if it looks like there is going to be a deadlocked convention (which appears very likely at this point) a number of us are going to suggest to as many super delegates as possible that they consider Gore as a unifying/compromise candidate to carry the Dems. to victory in November.
