Aaaaannnnnddd…let the campaign slogans begin:
He’s Fat, Restive, and Red-Faced
In Your Heart You Know He’s A Rabid Lunatic
Environmentalism In The Pursuit Of Billions In Carbon Offsets Is No Vice

OK, this one is good, too: “Release America’s 2nd Chakra”
What America needs — a crazed-sex-poodle-in-Chief.
[Evening update]
My spam filter caught a comment. I have the email address, but I won’t publish it (I don’t know whether it’s valid or not, but it probably is, being a Gmail address). I’m not going to approve it, but I thought it might edify my readers as to what kind of creature supports the former vice president and mindlessly vilifies his critics. I would also note that it is very unusual in both its lack of intelligence and its foul language, compared to the vast majority of comments here. And I will state the name it used — J_star, since it willingly put it in the form, and every commenter’s stated name is published here.
GO suck a f***ing c**k you f***ing useless piece of s**t.
With enemies like this, who needs friends?
“If we have learned anything from the history of the presidency, it is this: experience matters. Judgment matters. Achievement matters. ”
OK, so how did “we” get to 2008?
Can we let slip the dogs of snark on this one at least?
Don’t get cocky. The GOP would find a way to fumble even that one.
Somebody is really hitting the crack pipe early today!
The comments following the article illustrate just how seriously (or “serially”) people take it. They even beat me to a Manbearpig reference. Too many people think he’s too big a joke…
If you haven’t read the piece, I strongly suggest you do some stretching first. Otherwise, when you find yourself wanting to ROFLMAO and :facepalm: simultaneously, you might sprain something.
Al Gore as a primary challenger to Obama? Excuse me while i pop some popcorn.
When he doesn’t win again the Progressives will finally have the spark they need to send the mech army into NYC. /Empire
Wait, why 2016? Is it too late to draft him for 2012?
Actually, I think it’s a really bad idea even to joke about this… he might take it seriously. My advice is: Be careful what you wish for. I would lay even money that Gore could elbow Li’l Barry aside and conscript the press into an all-out assault on Romney/Bachmann/Perry/Whoever…. He could win. And then where would we be? He’s more of a crazed Socialist than Clinton ever was, maybe even as much as BO, without the pro-terrorist, America-hating baggage. And the sex scandal just proves he’s got the testosterone for the job, right?
Maybe Gov. Rick Perry is announcing Saturday he will be Al Gore’s campaign manger. After all Gov. Perry did a good job of running Al Gore’s campaign in Texas in 1988 🙂
Come to think of it, have two Nobel Peace Prize winners ever faced off in a Democrat primary? That would be worth the price of admission.
I would torch the local Best Buy and jack a 42″ HDTV to watch that!
I….can’t…..breathe…..must……stop……laughing……

Hey, Brent – I think you’ve had a Bud (or 20) too many.

That was before Al Gore appeared on that episode of Happy Days involving an attempt to water ski over a shark.
No second chances for Mr Second Chakra.
Poor J_star.
His comment pretty much sums up the attitude of young leftists these days.
I think that “attitude” is much too generous a word for it. “Incoherent mindless rage” would be a better description. But that may be the way it goes through life.
“GO suck a f***ing c**k you f***ing useless piece of s**t.”
I would tell J_star to apply his advice to Algore but he proabally already does. Who knows, J_star may be the Interwebs inventor himself in disguise! Considering Algores recent outburst, it would be in character for him.

I’m shocked that ANYONE could read that, and not keep looking up to see if “The Hill” had disappeared to be replaced by “The Onion”! I looked three times and refreshed the page twice trying to find the joke.
And HOLY SWISS CHEESE Batkids, he was for REAL, I’m serial! And the Manbearpig thing was bound to come up. It’s just so true.

No, Rand. In his world, that qualifies as reasoned political debate against conservatives. A short version is “Shut up!!”
Of course, in his mind, we’re the ones consumed by rage and hate. And in his mind, liberalism makes perfect sense.
Yo, the new “civility” looks a lot like the old “civility”…
“GO suck a f***ing c**k you f***ing useless piece of s**t.”
Funny how members of the Party of Tolerance are so typically homophobic and misogynist.
Not funny “ha-ha”.
Laughing or crying… can we please have some other choices?
