Gore responds.

Gore responds.
Tony Snow said today of Al Gore’s new book: “I don’t know if they’re going to do a reprinting of the book to try to get the facts straight. The fact-checkers may have to take a look at it.” Gore responded on a blogger conference call: “This book, unlike the President’s State of the Union Address, has been fact-checked.” Taylor Marsh has full audio of the call.

May 22nd, 2007 at 8:15 pmRun for Prez Al; It is your destiny
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:17 pmDefinition of irony:
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:18 pm
I sure wish he’d run; it’d be suh a change to have a President who’s not only knowledgeable but literate and witty with it.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:20 pmAl Gore for President – Hilary Clinton Vice President :-) perfect ticket !!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:21 pmLaughed out loud. Great answer.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:23 pmA well-deserved SMACK! on the back on Snowflake’s head.
Heh.
Later, y’all. :)
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:24 pmWay to go Al, perfect response! I love that guy!I really wish he’d run again. I think he’d win this time inspite of the MORONS in the MSM.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:25 pmGore has one more thing Bush will never have, CLASS. He needs to run. He deserves to have the presidency he legitimately won.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:26 pmI wish he’d run again too, not only because I’d like to see him as President, but I have a case of beer riding on it :)
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:28 pmPres Jimmy Carter, and now VP Al Gore taking justified swings at bushco. Who’s next at bat?
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:30 pmTake a look at this picture…
http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/al-gore-ex-vp-environmentalist-gadget-freak/
This man is plugged in, as opposed of course by Bush, who’s as dim as the 14th century.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:30 pmAnderson…great image!! Who is hitting clean-up!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:35 pmBush is S-L-A-P-P-E-D by a great leader and a man with twice his I.Q.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:38 pmGORE 2008!!!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:39 pmP R I C E L E S S. . .
and those were only 16 little words. . .
not a whole book full of ‘em!
that made my day!
t h a n k s!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:39 pm#14. Point of clarification. Bush has the IQ of a termite. Al has to have 150 x the IQ of the Chimp.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:41 pmDamn, that’s gonna leave a mark!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:41 pmI can’t believe that Gore would so shamelessly pick on such an easy target as the inaccuracies of Bush’s 2003 SOTU address. HE should be ashamed of himself for using the president’s own words against him.
We have always been at war with Eastasia!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:42 pmDidn’t you know? There is a National Letter writing campaign to ask him to run. How about a little “Miricle on 34th Street?” SPREAD THE WORD
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-boyce/just-off-the-phone-with-a_b_49082.html
HERE IS THE ADDRESS:
If you believe in Al Gore, and his mission, send him a letter.
The Honorable Al Gore_
2100 West End Avenue_Suite 620
_Nashville, TN 37203
Also, check out AlGore.org
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:42 pmBut that’s the problem, Al. You based your statements and arguments on FACTS, and BushCo lives in a Fact-Free Zone.
Perhaps it’s time to start referring to W as “The Bubble Boy”, like on Seinfeld.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:44 pmAl Gore, more like Al Bore… as this Al BORING.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:47 pmAl Gore keeps rising up in my estimation. And, frankly, if he wants to hang onto those extra 20-30 pounds he’s OK in my book.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:52 pmQuestion: Doesn’t it violate a law of physics to lie like a rug and spin like a top at the same time?
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:54 pm#22 Wow. What an insightful and engaging comment you made there.
/snark
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:56 pm“Al Gore, more like Al Bore… as this Al BORING. Comment by Mr. President”
One man’s boring is another man’s intelligent, thoughtful and literate. But then you love the laugh a minute Mr. Bush. He’s a riot. A good comedian script writer couldn’t write the lines that come out of Bush’s mouth.
I’ll take a “boring” intellectual over a “not boring” moron any day.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:58 pmComment by Mr. President
You’re just upset that you’re going to have to give up your screen name.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:59 pmLove it, Al! Great response. I can’t wait to see what Tone Loco has to say about it tomorrow!! Awesome.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:59 pmBush on Iraq – Al Qaeda – 9/11 Links:
“It [Iraq] has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al Qaeda.”
President Bush, March 17, 2003.
“The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We’ve removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding.”
President Bush, May 1, 2003.
“I would tell them [families of fallen soldiers] the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the war against those who caused the deaths on 9/11 is necessary.”
President Bush, October 22, 2004.
“We went to war [in Iraq] because we were attacked.”
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:00 pmPresident Bush, June 18, 2005.
Mr. Irrelevant, sir?
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:03 pmYour Game-Boy just came back from the repair shop,
shall I “boot it up” for you, sir?
Sir?
Way to go, Al. Please run! P-U-L-E-E-Z-E! We need you to fix our country! Please take your rightful place as the real POTUS. Your country needs you!

May 22nd, 2007 at 9:08 pmThere, there, Mr. President…
Talking tough is the same as BEING tough.
Now, li’l feller, Mother Rove is calling. You toddle on home and she’ll help you put on a dry pair of britches.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:15 pmMr. Polident, sir?
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:24 pmIt’s time time for bed, sir…
Here’s your medications, and yes, don’t forget the blue one.
Here’s your drinky, too.
And your blankey.
Now, I asked Uncle Karl, and Unka Dicky too, and they said that you can sleep with Saddams pistol under your pillow, but only if you have a single bullet in it.
And remember, it’s not nice to shoot other people…. sir.
Good night, sir.
Don’t let the Fed bugs bite.
Ha ha… sir.
Gore finally got the permits to make his home environmentally with the program.

Says the BORING Troll ZZZZzzzzzzzz…….
I’m sure your mother doesn’t think you’re boring – but she’s probably the only one who doesn’t see what a useless little piece of sh*t you are… Good luck with that – loser!
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:24 pmGo ahead mr president vote Bush/Cheney in 08 and get the rest of your ilk to vote as well.
What a maroon.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:26 pmIn another thread, in a galaxy, a long long time ago… Mr. President stated that the only reason it comes here and posts, is to stir up the mix, get a reaction.
Hats off to the most successful troll here on TP! Huzzah!
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:27 pmL Ron Gore was dead and buried long ago. If it weren’t for the drive by media pimping his wacked out chicken little cries about “global warming” he’d be with in his rightful place in history, along with the rest of the vacuous, liberal dolts. Please, let the ozone man rest in peace.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:33 pmOoo, Tom you have a little hard on for Gore, don’t you? Get help.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:34 pmJPark, get off your sister and use your brain.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:38 pmGeez Snow, F*** Off. Next thing you know your going to pull all scientific books and ask they be reprinted after the facts are verified. What a fu*ker you are!
Why don’t you ask that the Bible be reprinted with accurate facts, a**hole.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:40 pmLunacy – if you’d stop to think you’d realize that any of Gore’s assertions have no basis in fact. As for the Word, it would be worth your while to read it.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:48 pmTom, thanks for all your great input. It is so helpful.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:49 pm“if you’d stop to think you’d realize that any of Gore’s assertions have no basis in fact.”
Are you going to back your claims up with facts? No? Because there are plenty of peer reviewed articles and studies that say he is right. And no, the bible is hardly peer reviewed.

Ah, the best reason of all for Al to run – because it scares the livin’ poop out of people like this.
Hey, Al beat George by 540,000 votes the first time around, and that was when the country was suffering from Clinton fatigue and the sheep didn’t have a clue about what a complete failure Bush would be.
If Al gets in this thing, and the best the Repubs can put up is Guliani or one of those other corpses they’re trotting out at the debates, he will clean up in a landslide.
Gore / Obama 2008

May 22nd, 2007 at 9:56 pmI’ve changed my mind. Al Gore should run for President. I think we need him now more than ever.
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:13 pmWriting letters may not be enough. We may need to go to Tennessee and march, a few hundred thou strong, letting Al Gore know how badly we need his leadership, his statesmanship, and his visionary activism. Al – you da man!!!!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:06 pmThe level and degree of unkind, hostile comments toward truly good, honest former White House executives (Gore, Carter) coming out of the Bush White House seem unprecedented, and I’m sick of it, and sick of the Bush people.

Hurry!
Why can’t Bill Clinton, Gore, and Carter hold a presser in front of the White House and just say “Shut up!, Everyone but the crazy people hate you, and you have destroyed our country. Just shut up!”
Sorry Goracle, you’re a little behind. The “sixteen words” were and still are true. Stop embarrassing yourself and let Cristopher Hitchens explain it to you. You silly Truthers will believe anything.

Oh Tommy boy! Don’t assume what you don’t know! It surely makes you look like a total a**. And, have you read his book? Quote your sources that his ‘assertions’ are not based on scientific fact.
Of course if you push the Bible, you probably don’t believe in science since evolution isn’t a part of the ‘facts’ presented there.

May 23rd, 2007 at 1:13 pmQuestion for trolls – did Dubya insinuate Iraq’s involvement with al Qaeda and 9-11 as reasons to bolster the invasion of Iraq? It is a true or false question…
Since we ALL know the answer, Michael, oopsie, whatever troll is out there with nothing to actually point out, we can ALL safely assert that Mr. Gore is 100% correct in his rebuttal of Tony Snow.
Sorry. Better luck next election cycle :)
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:18 pmYou can close your eyes and cover your ears and go “la la la la” all day long, but unfortunately the sixteen words will still remain true. Thanks for the continued comedy posts, Truthers.
