Inconvenient Fit: Al Gore Not Interested in Cabinet Post?

Understand where Gore is coming from, if it is as reported. Have to admit that my dream team (of those Cabinet posts yet to be filled) is Gore, Sec'y of DOE, and Colin Powell, Sec'y of Education.

i think Gore can be effective inside or outside of government...

Al Gore says he is not interested in an Obama Administration cabinet post. Translation: I haven't been offered one yet.

Al looks like he's more interested in a baked ham.

I seriously doubt that. Gore is more efficacious where he is and both men probably agree.

However, it is typical of the right wing to project their own motivation on their perceived enemies. Without that, they wouldn't have much if anything to exist for.

They do it all the time, but it was a losing strategy this year on the national and state level.

the fact is, Gore's advocacy of the environment began long before he was vice president. I've been following gore's stance on the environment for maybe twenty years. He was an advocate of ecologically responsible global conduct when it was political suicide.

I was thrilled when he was nominated for Vice President, and I'm very glad his input is valued by the Admin, but I doubt this will result in a cabinet position. Maybe, but I doubt it.

Or maybe Al doesn't want to be scrutinized for his scams like "carbon credits" to "offset" his gluttonous use of energy.

Might knock that halo he supposedly has on his head.

He knows, that the "gloves off" approach that the media has taken with Obama only extends to Obama.

He doesn't want his hypocrisy broadcast 24/7.

Well I hope Al Gore does accept some sort of position within the Obama admn for two reasons ? Number one with all the Clinton people already on board Al could be sort of a " watchdog" over Hilly and the rest of the gang ? Number two Gore could help Joe Biden decipher the who where what and why of Cheney's 8 years at the VP spot in the hopes of finding something that will stick to the teflon coated bush admn ? I know it sounds a trifle stalinistic but there it is

I think Al Gore's primarily interested in Al Gore.

Doesn't he have a financial interest in the "carbon offset" racket? Probably more profitable for him to "work from the outside" than it would be to put his holdings in mothballs for 4 years.

that's typical republican hypocrisy, but gore's a democrat. Therefore he has no excuse. If you're one of the colander helmet bunch anyway, it's not important. You can get back to nascar or whatever.

So you're saying he doesn't have a financial interest in the "carbon offsets" racket? Or that it's okay if he does because he's a Democrat?

Shiny metal gamma-ray reflecting dunce caps are more your style if I remember correctly, gramps. And I think I do.

I'm saying it's not a racket and you're politically motivated, in denial or simply scientifically illiterate to thing otherwise.

If you think it is, the entire ecology issue is over your head both literally and figuratively and your opinion doesn't interest me and shouldn't interest anyone with a sense of global responsibility that overrides greed.

Got that?

You think YOU're smart? Gwan, Godel, whup yer thinker out.

Clif you're one grumpy old codger. What's the problem? Got your ass handed to you in a cutthroat shuffle board match?

if you don't believe "carbon offsets' is a racket, you're a fool.

Your ability to reason rationally took an turn for the worse the day you suggested that NCLB "couldn't be ruled out" as motive for the anthrax mailings. Apparently there's been no improvement since.

Go play your guitar or something.

Bob, this is far too complicated for you. You don't understand the difference between thermate and thermite as I recall, and I seem to recall you challenged me to a dual and gave me your address.

What is it, mcb - something in the water?

The memory is the first thing to go...or a close second anyways.

You were the one who was going to make a detour by my place on your way to punch Bill O'Reilly's lights out. I merely gave you the address and an invitation to swing on by.

Wrong again on the thermite thermate thing. Couldn't tell you which is which. Don't know what planet those little gray men in the alien autopsy photos are supposed to be from either. Maybe your big brain's got that tucked away somewhere.

It's really not all that complicated Clif. Seen one snake oil salesman, you've seen them all. Kenny Lay's probably spinning in his grave cursing his poor timing. This could be big.

speak for yourself, you paranoid fool. Didn't you also accuse me of beating your sister?

this is just a blog, bob, not reality, and I'm just a guy, not lex luthor and I could give a shit about O'reilly except as a blog punching bag. He's as over the hill as I am and from the looks of him, in a lot worse shape even though he's quite a bit younger than I am.

I'm not driving to your house to cross epees with you at dawn, and in my experience with you, you present as someone with some serious affective problems you've never resolved.

Sending someone your address as some sort of attempted aggression package just isn't very smart.

Don't blame me. Until a few months ago I had never heard of you, and until you brought it up again, I'd forgotten about you since you aren't relevant to much of anything on a blog.

But as usual, you seem to get distracted.

I'm Clif, the tall old guy who has no national prominence. Al, he's the fat, shorter young guy with the Oscar and the great environmental ideas and something of a following, which includes me. He's a very capable leader and it's his time. I expect good things from him and not much of anything at all from republicans.

oh, my god, you killed kenny? You bastards!

Clif,

I can bring it all back here for you if you like. It's still all there. The stupid tough talk. The ridiculous Mitty-esque Clif-a-log. Culminating with you accusing another poster, by legal name, of being a child molester.

As I said, it's all still there.

You're right Clif. You're just another guy on a blog with a line of bullshit that runs as far as the eye can see. Once in awhile some of it gets stuck on your shoe.

As for Al, his extended 15 minutes is about up. He's smart enough to know that, so he's going to make hay while the making is good. Why work for government wages when you've got a scheme that could net you that 100 fold? Just because Air America told you he's a selfless crusader doesn't make it so.
