You know he started out as a ambulance chaser. When I worked in Pensacola, I used to see him on a bill board every day on my way to work. That was in the late 1980's. Of coarse he would be all over the place depending which way the wind is blowing. That was his stock and trade.

Did I know Al Gore's fat what?

Oh alright, I'll give you the setup PP ... No, I didn't know that. How fat is he?

If he'd been Goldman Sachs,

If he'd been Goldman Sachs, he could have bet against doomed worthless investments he was telling people to go for, and made a huge bundle, and been too big to fail.

And speaking of big, did you know Al Gore's FAT?

What bothers me most about Morning Joke is that they try to be all things to all people. Some days they're Liberal, some days they're Conservative, some days they're pragmatic middle-of-the-roaders. Tuesdays is "Everything the Democrats do is wrong" day, where they all sit around and moan about how badly screwed up the current administration is, and all their guests are Conservative politicians or Conservative leaning Democratic tools like Harold Ford Jr. Mondays, of course, are "Republicans are all whack-jobs day", and so on throughout the week. It's like the old Mickey Mouse Club, where Thursday was 'Anything Can Happen Day!' Joe is Jimmy and Mika is Annette.

I just watched Mornin Joke do the same rant against Gore.

He accuses Al of hypocrisy because he made so much money in oil?

It's all good.

Al just laughs all the way to the bank.

I am not happy about the sale of the network to Al Jazeera though. Does that make me prejudiced? I suppose so.

Nobody is going to make me watch it though!

These kinds of articles tend to make me angry. The media creates stories now using one of three templates: a) resurrecting a stalled career, b) piling on a person whom we're encouraged to hate or c) revealing a beloved hero's feet of clay.

If Al Gore had lost money, there would be articles about what a lousy business man he is and thank God he wasn't President. "Whew, we dodged a bullet." If he lost money, it would have been held up as a failure of Liberal economic policies.

There is no winning for anyone in the media spotlight. Eventually, they will be fodder for an "Aren't they a hypocrite?" article.

If Gore had devoted his life to prayer and joined a monastery, there would be articles about how he wasn't able to cope with losing the election and it drove him nuts and he became a hermit.

Gore made a lot of money ... Okay. Did he do it legally? Why is this a story? Because the media needs to get a little juice by making insinuations that what he did was illegal or making the "point" that "See? Democrats are just as dirty-dealing and low-down as Republicans."

The bottom line is, the world according to the media, thoroughly stinks now and always has and always will. No success can be legitimately celebrated, no demise is fully deserved or permanent, all actions by people in power are questionable, and everyone, in politics, left, right or center is scum. I'm sick of the media's modus operandi.

Apologies for the mini-rant.
