Al Gore TV

It was like political porn for democrats. Remember that boring guy who droned on about global warming and lock boxes, back when we had a budget surplus, we weren't in a war of choice and actually still had choice?

OK, so Al Gore did get to gloat with a big I TOLD YOU SO on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. The skit opened with an oval office address from President Gore. He'd solved global warming, had to confront an oil crisis -- too much of it -- warned American travelers overseas about being hugged too much by strangers, and had put the extra, extra surplus in a lock box.

Gore hasn't just come out of retirement to remind us of what we're missing. He's shilling for his documentary An Inconvenient Truth. All about Al Gore's kill-joy attempt to get the U.S. to pay attention to this global warming thing. I don't know about you, but I for one, am all charmed out by the current president and would welcome a little bit of the bore Gore. Meanwhile, where can I get a lock box?
