#1 Didn't he invent TV?

#2 broadcasting international news produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

The CBC is comprised of quite possibly the only people on earth duller and more biased than Al Gore. It beggars the mind to think of the millions of news starved Americans quenching their thirst for facts in Al Gore's font of Canadian wisdom.

#3 That was after he was born in a log cabin that he built with his own two hands.

#5 YS - I was sure he said something about the wheel.

#7 It doesn't appear on my Comcast channel lineup. Think they'll sue to get added?

#9 RT I heard that the ONLY reason that Canadians don't get Fox News is because it is against the law! The ONLY way that Air Amerika or this News channel can make money is if it was REQUIRED. DOA.

#11 I'm not exactly going out on a skinny limb by predicting that all these ventures in cable news and talk radio will go dark just after the first week in November.

What a colossal waste of money.

#12 Watching a test pattern would be more entertaining than watching Owlie Bore!

#14 Well he can host a show called Pyscho Hour Politics. Just think, his first guest could be ....Howard Dean, certifiably nutso. It would be interesting to see them both have the veins stick out in their pencil necks as they spew their vitrolic "ideas" on the television media.

#15 "Pyscho Hour Politics"

Heh. Back in the early 80's there was a movie called "Scanners." I didn't see it, but the trailers they ran for it on TV showed a sequence of this guy sitting, calmly at first, then more and more agitated, shaking and red-faced, and finally his head exploded with a BANG. That's how I always think of Al Gore.

Howard Dean is another matter; him, I always equate with the character in Network, Howard Beale, who goes crazy and does that "I'm mad as hell, and I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!" thing.

#16 I think the TV deal should go better than the radio foray. Giant puppets don't make much of an aural impression.
