Bush still hasn’t seen An Inconvenient Truth.
But Al Gore has a plan:
Q: Do you know if President Bush has seen the movie yet?
GORE: Well, he claimed that would not see it. That’s why I wrote the book. He’s a reader.

Hopefully there are lots of neat picshurz.
December 5th, 2006 at 12:50 pmHAHA, he’ll get to it right after he finishes My Pet Goat in 2011.
December 5th, 2006 at 12:52 pm…you beat me to it : re : My Pet Goat
December 5th, 2006 at 12:55 pmBush is in Denial of everything from health, Iraq to globalwarming
December 5th, 2006 at 12:59 pmit’ll have to be a coloring book… or maybe one of those “Choose your own Adventure!!”
December 5th, 2006 at 1:00 pm…hmm actually he might actually learn something then.
Needed the comic relief today.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:02 pmWow, now the Bush II library will have TWO coloring books!
December 5th, 2006 at 1:03 pm.
As long as Gore writes the childrens version, junior might possibly read it.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:05 pmGORE: Well, he claimed that would not see it. That’s why I wrote the book. He’s a reader.
Brilliant.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:06 pmFor once, Al Gore is a-tellin’ the truth!
After all, we SAW Preznit Bush Jr. with a book that one time, remember?
What was it again?
“My Pet Goat”, or sumthin’ like that…
He sure seemed to like it.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:08 pmDon’t hold your breath on him ever seeing that book or movie, in any form.
It’s not on his approved Exxon and Chevron reading list. But if it was, Karlie and Uncle Dickie would have to spoon feed it to him and explain all those big words.
NAWWWW, will never happen
December 5th, 2006 at 1:13 pmWhy would anyone wast time watching an Al Gore movie?
December 5th, 2006 at 1:18 pmBush still hasn’t seen An Inconvenient Truth about installing “democracy by Daisy-cutter,” either.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:20 pmAh, too funny. :)
December 5th, 2006 at 1:24 pmThe content is above Kevin’s head as well.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:25 pmYeah, but it is unclear how much Bush understands, learns or retains when he reads. I mean, it must be “hard work” reading like 80 books a month, or whatever Bush claims to be averaging.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:25 pmWhy would anyone wast time watching an Al Gore movie?

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin….. How many times do we have to tell you to not watch so much Faux News, and listening to the Rusher babble away.
You need to get out more!!!!
December 5th, 2006 at 1:26 pmWhy would anyone wast time watching an Al Gore movie?
Kevin
Why would anyone waste time reading a Kevin comment?
December 5th, 2006 at 1:26 pmcynic,
Kevin? Who is this Kevin of whom you speak…?
December 5th, 2006 at 1:28 pmKevin: “Why would anyone wast time watching an Al Gore movie?”
Kevin, can you name any major issue about which Al Gore has been wrong? In the late 80’s he worked hard to help develop the infrastructure for the Internet. He was spot on about that. He was talking about the environment and global warming long before anyone took the issue seriously. In 2002, he delivered a long, fiery speech saying that it would be a huge mistake to invade Iraq. Even though he was referred to as “unhinged” over that speech, who would argue that he wasn’t absolutely right about that? Gore is one of the only major politicians who have been correct on about every major issue. But no politician has suffered more from media attacks on his character. You seem to have bought into the media message.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:30 pmWho is this Kevin ?
Just a wast of space.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:31 pm[...] In a recent interview with GQ, Al Gore had this to say about whether President Bush has seen his movie: “GQ: Do you know if President Bush has seen the movie yet? Gore: Well, he claimed that would not see it. That’s why I wrote the book. He’s a reader.” [1] Hat tip: ThinkProgress [1] http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_5179&pageNum=2 [...]
December 5th, 2006 at 1:33 pmI still haven’t seen it either, but I did just see ‘Sky High’ something tells me it was the right choice.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:40 pmPerhaps Gore should write a book specifically for Bush: “My Pet Goat and the Melting Iceburg”.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:44 pmThe night I first saw Farenheit 911, I purchased 4 tickets for a show later that evening. I put them in an envelope and left them at Will Call. The envelope had George Bush’s name on it. Returning home I emailed Bush, saying it was obvious he had not seen the movie because he had not resigned in disgrace yet. The tickets where there for himself, Laura, and the First Twits to go see. It was my gift. Later I learned that they never saw the movie so when the DVD came out I bought an extra copy and mailed it to Bush. He had no excuse not to have seen it then.
When Neil Young’s CD “Living With War” was released last summer I bought an extra copy and mailed it to Bush because I didn’t want him to have the chance to say he’d never been able to listen to it.
Now that Amazon.com is advertising that the DVD for An Inconvenient Truth will be available, I have ordered an extra copy of it. Once in hand I’ll mail it to Dumbya and Laura. They cant say they’ve not had a chance to see it.
Cant wait for the DVD of “Shut Up and Sing” to come out. I”ll mail him a copy of it also.
December 5th, 2006 at 1:48 pm“My Pet Goat and the Melting Iceburgâ€.

My Pet Goat Hightails it to Higher Ground”
December 5th, 2006 at 1:49 pmBush still thinks Dr Strangelove is a documentary
December 5th, 2006 at 2:01 pm#18
You just did! LOL!
December 5th, 2006 at 2:09 pm#7
It’s a coloring book? Very thoughtful for his readers.
December 5th, 2006 at 2:12 pmIs there a Shakespears version?
December 5th, 2006 at 2:23 pmSaw the plans for the Bush library, it’s a false front with the Dick Cheney library behind it.
December 5th, 2006 at 2:39 pm#31 – Isn’t it right next to the “Barbie” museum?
December 5th, 2006 at 2:45 pmAwe crap, all the good jokes are taken. I don’t see George sitting down to read Gore’s book.
December 5th, 2006 at 2:52 pm#20, bluedog, I can give you one, google PMRC
December 5th, 2006 at 3:12 pmrobert,
While I am 100% against any kind of censorship, and generally dislike the PMRC did do a small favor for American parents in helping them. It’s a tough job being a parent, and as long as they aren’t trying to censor music, I don’t care if they stick big labels on CD’s. Hell I always knew as a teen that label was a mark of quality.
I just looked up Wikipedia’s PMRC, hilariious, ahh the memories it brings back of being a heavy metal loving teen.
December 5th, 2006 at 3:44 pmbadreligion, read the links that accompany the wiki article. the PMRC moderated their tone about the same time Gore had presidential aspirations.
December 5th, 2006 at 3:49 pmPresident Bush does not read science fiction.
December 5th, 2006 at 3:54 pmFlaco is still a virgin, why else would he watch the women here so much and follow them around? Creepy.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:04 pm…google PMRC
Comment by robert
I thought that was Tipper. Are you saying he needs to catch the reins on the little woman?
December 5th, 2006 at 4:07 pmZooey, no, no , no, NO, I am not saying that.
Gore was a member of the Senate committee that was hearing the PMRC case while at the same time endorsing the PMRC, therefore he was endorsing censorship.
NO ONE can EVER catch the reins on any woman. I would rather wrestle with a cat in a burlap sack that to try! (ok, i set myself up with that one)
December 5th, 2006 at 4:20 pmGore was a member of the Senate committee that was hearing the PMRC case while at the same time endorsing the PMRC, therefore he was endorsing censorship.
You endorse censorship, Robert. Weren’t you saying you wanted to be able to opt your kids out of certain subjects?

Comment by robert
Good answer. I shall let the wrestling of the cat in the bag go…
December 5th, 2006 at 4:31 pmopting out of a subject is not censorship. I am not advocating denying the right of the public in general. I do however have the right to determine what my child is exposed to.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:35 pmBest laugh, all day, hands down.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:36 pmI do however have the right to determine what my child is exposed to.
Comment by robert
Yes, you do have that right, but it’s still a form of censorship.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:38 pmC’mon, Robert, be honest…
Zooey, no it is not censorship because my house is not a democracy. Ok, let me put it this way, I am against GOVERNMENT censorship. You know by now I am all for Parent rights and responsabilities. A responsable parent is aware of what their child does, watches and listens to.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:44 pmOk, let me put it this way, I am against GOVERNMENT censorship…
Comment by robert
We can agree on that one, Robert.
My house was not a democracy either, but I called things what they were.
We have to stop agreeing like this, people will talk. :)
December 5th, 2006 at 4:54 pmAl Gore was just on Oprah for the entire hour talking about his movie and book. A very quiet, very attentive audience. Too bad the MSM is paid by big corporate interests, otherwise we might already be following the Kyoto accords. Al says we have maybe ten years…..tick….tick…tick

Comment by ForTruth
Hey can u fix me up?
December 5th, 2006 at 5:54 pmI’m real horny now that u mention it.
I do not expect a man who cannot pronounce “nuclear” properly to see a movie of such importance.
December 5th, 2006 at 6:13 pmI can’t say it enough! I love this man.
Re-elect Gore 08
December 5th, 2006 at 7:12 pmPoor Gore should have carried Tennesee his home state.
December 5th, 2006 at 7:35 pmNow he out making bad movies.
December 5th, 2006 at 7:36 pmask yourself.
why would the commander in chief feel obligated to watch that politcal hack`s attempt at melobrama.
it brings to fruition this phrase…..”The president scared you with terrorists,but the global climate trumps even that”
it is called the propaganda machine.it knows no bounds,loyalties or party affiliations.
it is a contest to see who can rake in the most followers and both parties,sad to say are major players.
like it or not.
on another note,
Anybody know where one can find a copy of Ken Lay`s autopsy?
No?
Because he either isn`t dead,or BushCo did him in, is why.
This was engineered by BushCo.to keep Ken`s “knowledge” silent,or an exile pardon from BushCo for “helping them out”
December 5th, 2006 at 8:05 pmNow that Amazon.com is advertising that the DVD for An Inconvenient Truth will be available, I have ordered an extra copy of it. Once in hand I’ll mail it to Dumbya and Laura. They cant say they’ve not had a chance to see it.
Cant wait for the DVD of “Shut Up and Sing†to come out. Iâ€ll mail him a copy of it also.
Comment by Curlew
Curlew,
December 5th, 2006 at 8:31 pmAre you sure you didn’t get yourself on some “no-fly” list, or on a terrorist list?
Why would Dumbya need “An Inconvenient Truth” when he deals with “convenient lies/truthiness” everyday?
December 5th, 2006 at 8:33 pmAlthough I agree with Gore on many issues, on this point I have to disagree.
GORE: That’s why I wrote the book. He’s a reader.
Bush is barely capable of reading the cartoons on the back of a cereal box, much less a book.
December 5th, 2006 at 8:38 pmAnd people say Gore isn’t funny!
December 5th, 2006 at 9:52 pmBush is no reader, if he is, he should read the definition of civil war in the encyclopedia!
December 6th, 2006 at 4:28 amAl Gore. Snap! Hilarious!
