Not in so many words, but look in his eyes. That’s love. That’s what love looks like. We should all be so lucky to find it.
Good stuff here. Superb defeatism by Gore, plus the spectacle of a former vice president of the United States urging people to throw house parties for his DVD. All morning television should be this watchable.
N.B.: the clip has been edited for brevity.

ROFL at that screencap. You, sir, are the master.

I remember Chris Matthews having quite a thing for Clinton. Recall his “ooos” and “ahhhs” and “he’s so handsome” when Clinton first appeared in public after his surgery.
EF on December 6, 2006 at 1:08 PM
You do know that Matt Lauer is Katie Couric in drag, don’t you? Just like how Janet Jackson is actually Michael Jackson in drag.
SilverStar830 on December 6, 2006 at 1:11 PM
Algore and the Chia. After the show, they strolled the West Village and were spotted canoodling at Babbo.

OK, the throbbing McCain ad last week was bad enough, but now we have to look at the Hildebeast ————–>
Yes, I know how those things work. Hope it’s a limited run.
JammieWearingFool on December 6, 2006 at 1:21 PM
I saw some of this…I have never seen the “unbiased” press push so hard, and fawn over someone so much. Mr. Lauer here was begging Gore to run for president…begging. Aren’t they just supposed to report…not try to talk someone into making a political decision.
The only other person who I’ve seen have their unmentionables carressed this much by the media is Clinton (either).
StoutRepublican on December 6, 2006 at 1:25 PM
I just ate lunch. Now I may lose it.
He was on the “Oprah After The Show” show (or whateverthehell it’s called) last night on or CW affiliate. We were busy looking around the house for a replacement cord for my laptop’s AC adapter. All we heard from him was GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL WARMING, followed by Oprah’s breathy “Wow” whenever he paused to take a breath.
Gottafang on December 6, 2006 at 1:25 PM
The lies and misinformation are getting me sick! Iraq has been a disaster for thousands of years. Nothing new here. It’s like blaming Bush that Iraq is also a desert.
We’re not trying to turn Iraq into Seattle…we’re trying to turn it into a democratic Iraq — still a disaster by our standards, but at least a “fair” one.
This is just another opportunity for the left to snatch a defeat out of the jaws of victory.
stonemeister on December 6, 2006 at 1:29 PM
Save the planet…LOL
Wade on December 6, 2006 at 1:29 PM
Allah you really do have a knack for catching that extra special stupid expression one makes while talking. Heh.
Theworldisnotenough on December 6, 2006 at 1:34 PM
Gore could save the planet? What exactly did he do during his 8 years as VP? Kyoto? A treaty no one is meeting the standards of. He negotiated the treaty. During the negotiations the Senate voted 98 to 2 that the treaty should not exempt China or cost American jobs. The treaty diod both those things. It was DOA from the start and neither Clinton or Algore or the democrat leaders made a serious push to ratify the thing. By agreeing to a failed treaty, Algore did more harm to his imaginary cause than any one I can think of.
Mig on December 6, 2006 at 1:35 PM
Al Gore, Planet Saver!
SilverStar830 on December 6, 2006 at 1:35 PM
In his usual understated fashion, Algore says Iraq is
I’d argue electing him and the Greatr Stainmaker for two terms was worse.
JammieWearingFool on December 6, 2006 at 1:36 PM
…like it…consider it stolen….
Puritan1648 on December 6, 2006 at 1:36 PM
…once again, the spiritual leader of the Party of Hyperbole strikes again.
Here is a man who should’ve paid more attention in school. Civil wars are rather nasty. As even a faux Southerner, he should know this…but, as in most other areas of his life which he parades in public, he’s ignorant.
…and the Left just laps it all up.
Puritan1648 on December 6, 2006 at 1:41 PM
Is this considered their Brokeback moment?
TexasRainmaker on December 6, 2006 at 1:46 PM
Everybody knows you have to save the cheerleader to save the world
/reference to tv show “Heroes” to the unaware
LakeRuins on December 6, 2006 at 1:46 PM
Two men in love, looking longinly into each other’s eyes and talking about very important things.
He could save the world, a failed fatass silver-spoon lying sack of Vice Presidential crap could save the world.
That Al Gore is a very smart man…
Well, no, not really. Thought we were talking about Captain Kangaroo.
benrand on December 6, 2006 at 1:46 PM
I almost wet myself when Matt said, in almost a comic book way, “YOU could SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!”.
I was waiting for Al to rip open his shirt and say that he really was Superman!!!
I really didn’t see Matt fawing too much over Mr. Gore….OK, maybe he was BUT it was about 51% worth of fawning
HarryStar on December 6, 2006 at 1:48 PM
I would live for either Gore, Kerry, or even Hillary to run in 2008. Losers, everyone of them. Gore has managed to beef up his crazy porfolio immensely. There are so many ways for this buffoon to be made to look like a buffoon, I almost feel sorry for him.
EF on December 6, 2006 at 1:49 PM
Help me Al Gorobi, you our only hope.
Help me Al Gorobi, you our only hope.

Farenheith 911 has found it’s place in the remainder and discount bins at video stores and book stores. “An
IncontientInconvenient Truth” is headed there in record time.Mallard T. Drake on December 6, 2006 at 1:53 PM
Unbiased? “you could be in a position to SAVE THE WORLD” Yea and I could go back to riding a horse to work. But then Al would tax me out of that too, you know horse poo causes global cooling.
Gwillie on December 6, 2006 at 1:54 PM
Hey, this is nothing. Oprah called him “our Noah.”
Valiant on December 6, 2006 at 2:00 PM
nice screenshot.
jummy on December 6, 2006 at 2:03 PM
The only good news is that the left’s political positions are built on such a mountain of lies that they folled the american people for a breif time but they cant keep the lies going.
Thats why they want those investigations. They want to spin more lies to cover the fact that they have nothing to really offer the american people.
William Amos on December 6, 2006 at 2:04 PM
Meredith: “Where in the world is Matt Lauer?”
Al Gore: “In my belly!”
Bradky on December 6, 2006 at 2:07 PM
I smell moonbat love in the air. They probably have some cozy winter cottages up P-town way; why don’t you boys take a long weekend?
JammieWearingFool on December 6, 2006 at 2:10 PM
“you could save the world … without putting to much emphasis on it”.
Can I throw up now?
seriously, I just ate. Allah, why you wanna go and ruin a brothers lunch?
One Angry Christian on December 6, 2006 at 2:11 PM
You know what else I see in Matt’s eyes? Anxiety.
Something to the effect:
*Did he notice my tie? I picked it out just for him. God, he’s so dreamy. I wonder if he ever thinks about me. Would it be awkward if I asked him to lunch? He’s so powerful, all I want to do is kiss him. Definitely felatio if I can get him back to my dressing room. I wonder what his favorite color is? It’s probably green. My favorite color is green. We could save the world together. But only after we spoon for a while on the rug while watching his DVD. That would be so rad.*

Big Al could do a lot to slow global warming by simply NOT TALKING SO MUCH!!! And until he begins making the sacrifices he demands of the rest of us, I will not listen.
Dinsdale Piranha on December 6, 2006 at 2:12 PM
What a shameless plug.
Watching that clip reminds me of how mindless the drools that watch daytime TV talk shows and really believe the crap spewing from these people.
I hope the majority of the people in the great country are not that stupid.
Kini on December 6, 2006 at 2:17 PM
is he drunk? he sounds like he’s pulling a Devito here.
cms on December 6, 2006 at 2:17 PM
Someone cut off his comic subscription PLEASE!
And, Matt, just ‘come out’ already, will ya? What a load of crap.
shooter on December 6, 2006 at 2:19 PM
Props to Lauer. I’ve never seen anyone enunciate so clearly with his mouth full.
Kid from Brooklyn on December 6, 2006 at 2:19 PM
Did he borrow Vieira’s kneepads, or are those his own?
Kid from Brooklyn on December 6, 2006 at 2:19 PM
You give Gore too much credit. Lauer’s mouth wasn’t that full.
natesnake on December 6, 2006 at 2:25 PM
I’ll give Lauer one thing: he’s dedicated.
I doubt he’d blink if Gore wanted to give him a Cleveland Steamer.
You can’t buy that kind of commitment.
natesnake on December 6, 2006 at 2:27 PM
…or a German Knuckle Cake.
Lauer has moxy.
natesnake on December 6, 2006 at 2:29 PM
Matt supports transgendered people because he is one.
Merideth has more testosterone than Matt does.
Speakup on December 6, 2006 at 2:30 PM
I heard off camera Matt gave Gore a big open mouth kiss just to suck all the smoke out of Gore’s breath.
Kini on December 6, 2006 at 2:33 PM
Gawd… I bet Al creamed his pants when Matt made that save the planet comment.
CorinthianJest on December 6, 2006 at 2:37 PM
Matt’s talking about saving Mars, right?
SouthernGent on December 6, 2006 at 2:45 PM
“would you pull out of Iraq right away?”, well that is difficult, if I was president, I would have all of the information and be able to analyse it all and make a decision, it is very complicated.
No shit sherlock. That is what our president is doing, you don’t have the facts, knowledge, aptitude, intelligence, charisma, power, sensibility, common sense, expereience, trust, honor…your a beta dog and will always be a beta dog.
right2bright on December 6, 2006 at 2:53 PM
You guys are really getting off on the gay references…repressed desires perhaps?
Enviromentalism is an issue the right is stupid for opposing. Yes, I’m sure some of it is hype and we don’t have all the facts, but to deny climate change is happening is crazy. But alas, I guess the three scientists left in the world who still aren’t sure are enough to convince you we better get all the facts straights before we do something crazy like stop dumping waste in our rivers.
JaHerer22 on December 6, 2006 at 2:56 PM
Blow me.
natesnake on December 6, 2006 at 3:08 PM
AP,
you edited out the part where Matt Liar told ManBearPig, “Why can’t I quit you?”
BigOrangeAxe on December 6, 2006 at 3:10 PM
AP, you edited out the part where Al says “last night before we went to bed Matty, I told you I would get you posted on Hot Air, now give me some hot air.”
right2bright on December 6, 2006 at 3:14 PM
…wait a minute.
The folks on the Right joshing about people they oppose being homosexuals would be Righties accusing their targets of doing something *WRONG*.
Meanwhile, homosexual pressure groups routinely “out” people, accusing them of being homosexuals…something they’re supposed to think is *CORRECT* and morally *DEFENSIBLE*.
…so, tell me…are your guys on the Left the ones with the deep personal confusions?
Wait…you are! Homosexuals! Yeah…your side. Deep personal confusions indeed!
…and just who said that the Right opposes environmental measures? I think that, if you examine the issue, you’ll find that the folks on the Right are *AT LEAST* as environmentally aware and as environmentally engaged as your turds on the Left…it’s just that they’re trying to enact measures which don’t unemploy mass numbers of people, cripple industries, or cost this nation its sovereignty, putting US policy under the scrutiny of largely self-appointed and unelected international bureaucrats.
The environment is just like other Lefty issues — like “social justice” — about which Lefties are all fired up, but which they don’t really understand beyond the sloganeering level. They’re even willing to use faux-science to support their points of view.
Ultimately, I think that it’s a class warfare issue. The Left just doesn’t like the look of all those loggers, construction workers, and folks who shop at Wal*Mart…all those pesky red-staters who just can’t get it through their heads that the Left is looking out for them…while they’re disposessing them.
…globe’s warming, JaHerer…go lay out, take advantage. Get a tan and leave policy to adults.
Puritan1648 on December 6, 2006 at 3:28 PM
Sonny, people just don’t say “but alas” any more–not for a long, long time. It’s just too…….oh, you know
Why is everything you post a cheap-shot attack on conservatives or your sad femme ramblings, or both?
Janos Hunyadi on December 6, 2006 at 3:54 PM
Or if Gore wanted to take Lauer Bass Fishing on Mars.
Gottafang on December 6, 2006 at 3:57 PM
He needs to read Jim Webb’s book and get some tips to work that crush thing out…..PIG.
seejanemom on December 6, 2006 at 4:31 PM
Later…Gore instructed Lauer on the proper technique of peeing while sitting down.
The Ugly American on December 6, 2006 at 4:34 PM
HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
OMG, I am *SO* stealin’ that! ……LOL
The Ugly American on December 6, 2006 at 4:36 PM
That begs for a definition in the Urban Dictionary. I’d speculate on what it could mean, but I don’t think Allah or MM would care for that much.
Bass Fishing on Mars: requires two men, one live fish, two gallons of EasyCheese, mint jelly, left-handed 5 iron, fire extinquisher, full faced motorcycle helmet…..
natesnake on December 6, 2006 at 4:40 PM
Whacko politicians, junk science and lefty, mouth-breathing news readers. The decline of America continues apace.
MCPO Airdale on December 6, 2006 at 4:52 PM
Donks ran on bashing Bush. Donks had no new ideas. Donks won house. Donks won Senate. Voted in by the majority of the people.
So much for hoping.
fogw on December 6, 2006 at 4:53 PM
(I just posted the following comment on NB:)
Lauer has got to be the greatest diplay of excessive/compulsive sychophantism (?) ever seen.
pocomoco on December 6, 2006 at 4:55 PM
“I didn’t realize I was in a Buddhist temple.”
- Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President when asked about his illegal fundraising activities that took place in a Buddhist temple.
there it is on December 6, 2006 at 5:19 PM
Hey, Ja, it’s over 1500 disageeing climate scientists, not your 3. And even if you would want to call them “paid stooges” of the oil and coal companies due to some of their funding (as gory Al did), it’s the same as calling many of your scientists paid stooges of the extreme enviro NGO’s and universities (universities have leftist agendas?! oh, my, no!).
Something else about which there is little dispute – I haven’t heard a single reputable economist who has says that leaving China and India out of Kyoto – with the US in – would do other than drive the American economy well past recession deep into depression. And with the growing economic, educational and research strengths of China and India, that would not be a short-term problem. (No, I don’t know what Paul Krugman thinks, but the advanced level of BDS he puts in all his calculations makes them worthless.)
And a little warning to some of those above such as EF – looking forward to the ease of a Gore defeat: We’ve had at least 35 years of an increasing public school push of the absolutist environmental agenda. That puts many of those people way past the age of “I’ll-go-vote-if-Playstation-gets-boring”.
They love Gore. He’s their Noah. He’ll save the planet (excuse me, Planet). And they’ll vote in 8-years-older larger numbers than they did in 2000.
eeyore on December 6, 2006 at 5:27 PM
Connecting dumping waste in water with global warming? This is how the left analyzes ideas. Yeah Haherer22, the right wants to dump waste in the rivers, and we want to destroy the enviornment, our kids don’t swim or drink the water, wald the mountains breathe the air…how stupid are you?
No one is claiming global warming doesn’t exist you idiot, we know that global warming (this cycle) began in 1880 way before the infamous “industrial impact”. What we are waiting for is proof that man is the cause or that man can reverse a natural cycle. So far that has not been proven. If you think Richard S. Lindzen (the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is a fool, than you are the only scientist on earth who thinks so. His findings have never been refuted, even by the top scientists in the world. The only ones to ignore his findings are people like you with absolutly no knowledge besides your google search engines, and the democrats talking points.
The left demeaning the right by calling us homosexual is really twisted.
Don’t tell me, you failed logic in school, right?
right2bright on December 6, 2006 at 5:28 PM
That is a classic, the sad part is the left took that as a valid excuse.
Great post, that is Al Gore.
right2bright on December 6, 2006 at 5:33 PM
This is one of the funniest threads in a looooong tiiiiime!
Thank you to so many who’ve entertained me greatly. Read every one of the comments here. Great for endorphin release!

Jeezus H Fargin…
LAUER!
The planet’s NOT IN DANGER, ya ignorant twit. It’s survived the hot times in the Jurassic, and the cold times in the ice ages. Lots of ice ages, and lots hotter times. No problemo.
Worry about comet impacts, why don’t ya?
mojo on December 6, 2006 at 5:39 PM
eff you, you fat bastard.
First of all, why is this guy still on the media circuit? Second of all, he would “test” all options? WTF does that mean? He’d pull out completely and see how it went, then put troops back in, with increased levels, and see how that went, etc. etc. “test each option?” What a retard.
I better stop now because I can’t even explain how annoyed I am with this ridiculous global warming crap.
By the way, Drudge was right on Drudge Radio the other night… In the winter they call it “climate change” (because it’s tougher to buy “global warming” when you’re freezing your nuts off), but in the summer it’s again “global warming”. Remember what time of year that stupid movie he made was released.
But Drudge’s point was confirmed when in this video, despite Lauer referring to “global warming”, Gore called it the “climate crisis”. POSs all.

RightWinged, how have you been? I see all your comments and wonder how much you know about so many subject. Not to worry – usually they show up later.
Now, that ‘d’ word made it through :) Regards,
Entelechy on December 6, 2006 at 5:46 PM
MATT LAUER: So, are there any potential presidential candidates for 2008 that are as awesome as you on the global warming issue? Can anyone other than you save the planet?
GORE: Well, not to distract from your sycophantic set-up question, have you seen my movie? If not, you can come over to my house-party and watch it on DVD and we can discuss a possibly spot for you as Press Secretary…
Seixon on December 6, 2006 at 6:19 PM
Matt Wower: VIce President Gore, how do you feel being one of the few people with their pulse on saving the planet and would you like me to massage your neck?
Al Gore: (chuckles) thanks Matt, you have such a purty mouth.
benrand on December 6, 2006 at 6:44 PM
Matt is just makin Al Roker jealous.
infidel on December 6, 2006 at 7:17 PM
I’ve always thought he had a bit of sugar in his tank.
In need of his own “Barebutt Mounted” moment.
Matt will have his “blue” scene taped just as Katie had her her own procedure a bit ago.
Do kiss and tell, “Louser”.
Despise them both.
