Well, One of Them Is Enjoying It Anyway (And Not the One We Would Expect)

The self-described inventor of the internet and real life Captain Planet, still as wooden and expansive as an inflatable totem pole, has endorsed Barack Obama for president when there was nothing else left for him to do but lumberously climb on the wheel-less bandwagon. The future Anti-Energy Czar, whose prescription for the oil crisis (that is, the crisis of consumption), is higher, not lower, oil prices, hailed Obama as the Tom Cruise of the new scientology, which, like the old, is also science fiction masquerading as science and paganism masquerading as religion.

There has been some speculation about Al Gore as a possible vice-presidential candidate. "Been there and done that" would seem the logical response from Gore. Still, he might be tempted for the same reason that Hillary so desperately wants the nod herself. And she's not the only liberal hoping to succeed Obama in his first term. Well, you will never go bankrupt underestimating their ability to underestimate their countrymen. Gore would balance the Democratic ticket -- the liberal child of privilege coupled with the liberal child of underprivilege; ominous experience coupled with ominous inexperience; the crackpot with the the apprentice of crackpots.
