I really find it odd Mr Gore doesn't run for the Presidency right now. The sentiment (among his supporters) is he won the 2000 election. Hillary has horribly high negative ratings.

I wonder if there weren't some "agreement" to keep him out?

I would never vote for him… but as a political observer I'm surprised he isn't running.

what a shame for us, we did not elect him as our Presidient. It is a loss for America.

oh, brother…. another Fred Thompson….from the Hill, to TV, to the WH….

"30 Rock" and Al Gore - both full of themselves.

And to think, I used to hate that guy.

I'm sure the idiot will be running around saying "The Sky is Falling"

When I first saw the title of this story, I thought that Al Gore was going to have his OWN sitcom series. maybe he was going to make a sitcom based on his Presidential bid or "An Inconvienient Truth"

I remember Gore doing a spoof of the show "West Wing" on Saturday Night Live a few years ago, and it was really funny and he was hilarious. I am as Rebulican as you can get and hate his politics, but I will admit that he has great acting ability.

The guy from Saturday Night Live would probably do a better job.

I am OK with "Green is Universal" even if W or Fred Thomson taking part. Of course Gore does it more naturally. I wonder, I have been waiting for more and more environmentally friendly politicians so we'll be able to pass on a greener USA to our future generations.

Go green, America!

I would think Tina Fey would be smart enough to see that Al Gore is a self-serving hack. Then again, Alec Baldwin might have desensitized her.

Spare the comparisons to Fred Thompson. One is the most prescient politician of our time. The other forgets that the SOVIET UNION no longer exists.

If Gore was to run, he would win, not only the Democratic nomination, but the Presidency. He must know that, so one can only assume he has found his calling doing what he is doing.

I'm sure he is doing what Colin Powell did in not running as well. He probably doesn't want to subject his family to that life.

The main reason I didn't vote for him in 2000 was because of Tipper (no i didnt vote for Bush either.) She was a leader in the PMRC, and many of us in the music industry were attacked by her organization, even those with music that was not vert offensive at all.

I felt she was a strong advocate for government censorship, which I felt was inappropriate for a First lady.

"seriously only libs toot their own hornj like this"

If you are looking for horn-tooting, I would look no further than the Republicans in the White House.

How odd that a Republican poster would be "sick" of Al Gore.

I just don't see the logic in it. After a disputed election in 2000 which Gore lost (I personally stand behind both the Supreme Court and the Electoral College, so I acknowledge Bush as the winner), we have been subjected to seven years of some of the worst leadership our country has ever seen.

Sick of Al Gore? I think seeing Al Gore on TV and at the Oscars has been a minimal intrusion on our lives. The person to be sick of is in the White House.

gee, Al are you still trying to find your a..hole?….look in the mirror stupid….

JAMES IN PHONEIX…You want to watch a real comedy, watch George Bush try to speak without a script!

blah blah blah

i suppose that Al likely also invented the sitcom.

what a blow-hard

Why is everyone attacks Al Gore for being "boring", "a dork" etc, seems no one actually attacks his stances or his beliefs, just plain old personal attacks.

Hey Richard Goodwin, you mean like the idiot Repubs that run around saying "If we don't fight them there, we'll have to fight them here" Talk about chicken little's!

If Al Gore would run for president, I would vote for him.

I CAN JUST SEE IT NOW A DUMMY PLAYING HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I truly believe Gore would be the best chance the Democrats have of winning the presidency. I hope he wins the Nobel Peace Prize next Friday. Hopefully he will then go on to announce he is entering the race later this month. I would vote for him AGAIN. GORE 2008!

This is the news? I thought the silly season was over. This is worse than the news about Fred Thompson's trophy

Al Gore makes great comedy films. The title alone on his last one was a hilarious reflection of his political career.

An inconvenient truth.., isn't it ironic.

Joseph from Austin, TX,

Apparently you have never seen Guliani on SNL and other shows and John McCain on SNL and the Daily Show. I love how Al Gore bothers you only because he is a Democrat. The only thing he is trying to do is save the planet from Global Warming. Instead you rather support people who don't believe in it and want to blow up the world.

Why doesn't Gore just run and save us all from a Hillary vs. Rudy campaign? He is one person that could heal our foreign relations and get America "forward thinking".

If Al Gore had become president in 2000 our country would be in a lot better shape than it is now! He is 100 times the man Bush is and at least 100 times as smart! I wish he would run! He would win hands down! You Republicans are idiots! Go Hillary!

Al's still looking for his glory, sad really..

I wonder if he'll be flying into hollywood in his gas guzzuling private jet while Tipper hosts those massive energy consuming parties for the TV show??

Please Al, tell me again how my conservation of the minuscule amount of energy I use is going to save the world..

I didn't realize Al Gore was in that new Caveman show!!!!!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist… personally, I don't care what this guy does…. he's so worried about the environment yet he runs a 5,000 bill in his big mansion….. spare me.

The US presidency is a relatively thankless difficult difficult job, that Al Gore has viewed up close and personal. I don't now if that had something to do with his not demanding a full recount and complete verification of each vote in each state in 2000. That he did not fight for his rights tells us something about his personality, the corruption of our election system, and the peril to all of us for allowing a mediocre fellow to lead up our executive branch. Yes you Bush / blind republican supporters, by this I mean our economy would be in a better place the dollar would not be sliding down, we would not have engaged in torture, the rich would be paying their fair share, there would still be a middle class, there would be fewer gas guzzlers on the road and the hummers (costly mistakes) would be at the back of car lots gathering dust, we would have money for our education, children's medicine, infrastructure, safety from terrorists, Katrina rebuild, veterans care, 9-11 workers medical expenses if we didn't have the wasted expense of the, albatross hanging from our neck, that Iraq has become. America would still hold a place of respect around the world, and we would have come to consensus and have begun making strides toward controlling greenhouse gasses. You just about can't tote up the financial and moral bankruptcy that Bush Chaney have visited upon us.

Al Gore… people want him to run again? For what? He has done nothing for the US. He took credit for creating the Internet, a technology that grew from the DOD and from out of Berkley and Gore had nothing to do with it. His 'Truth' about the environment is fabricated and lest we forget Tipper and the all suffocating PMRC… why people think he should run again or at all makes me wonder what the 'memory factor' or 'intelligence level' of this countries citizens really is. He did not create the Internet. His environment tirade is baseless and anyone who can't see this guy for who he really is… (a baby who had a nervous breakdown after his failed election) are only kidding themselves. Educated yourself, dig into 'true' historical facts and then blog; otherwise you’re only confusing the idiots. Peace!

To Joseph in Austin:

You're right, the right-wingers never toot their own horn.

…..that must be a Giuliani look-a-like running around reminding everybody that he, and only he, saved the day on 9/11!

Gore has every right to cackle, because up to now he's been spot on in every way!!!

Quit watching Faux News and jump in for the big win!

By the way, have you found that "vast cache of WMD's" we keep hearing about yet?!?!?!

Didn't think so ditto-head!!!

Some of the other comments are way out of line have they not lived under Bush's controls long enough.Gore is very suppotive for the honest Americans and the moral of familys dreams I would have voted for him as I did when he was cheated by Ohio's cheating polls.I made that statement along with the proof of my comment

Personal to Ramu:

We did elect Gore in 2000; the GOP and the Supreme Court wouldn't let us count all the votes!

Scintillating.

I am glad that Al Gore doesn't run for President although he'll have my vote if he does. He's the best at what he's doing about the environment. Peace be with Al Gore.

Al Gore didn't get to be president, so he made an Oscar-winning documentary, was a huge success on the lecture circuit, and is now using his visibility and our preoccupation with prime-time network TV to draw attention to environmental issues. He's having a good time, doesn't appear to be bitter, and I honestly can't imagine why he'd want the WH job this time around. Nor am I sure why, despite his apparent harmlessness and low toxicity, so many people take offense at the continuing existence of Al Gore.

A sitcom is the prefect place for Al Gore to be!

Sorry guys, he can't run, as he and Bill sold their souls to the Devil (Hillary) many years ago.

She made Bill stay with her and told Gore that he can never run against her, having all those secrets and "stories" in her "lock box" has so far paid off well.

Cackle, cackle……………….

You go Al!!! - should be President Al Gore for sure - a great man.

I think is good for everyone to see the lighter side of Al Gore. He was portrayed as uptight and boring, and maybe rightfully so. And now he is more open to the public and doing what he wants. This is positive reinforcement of "what doesn't break you makes you stronger." He has moved on from politics and can focus on global warming, Current TV, and yes even a cameo or two on some funny shows. Like him or not, please appreciate his new direction as being more than self interest. He sees an important issue and makes it his own life's work. He doesn't just pay lip service to it, he becomes part of it. Everyone should be that passionate about something. This soapbox is now yours, do your worst.

You guys should watch "Futurama". Al Gore makes several appearances (as a preserved disembodied head) in the animated series.

Well, he did play a level 10 Vice President a few times on Futurama…

30 Rock isn't too far a stretch…and we get more than just his disembodied head, too!

Maybe he can get his own cartoon series.

I'm sure it will be great.
There is no question that if Al Gore was elected in '00, the world would be a much better place

There is a difference between Gore and Bush. We laugh with Al Gore while we laugh AT George Bush.

I am ceretain Al Gore cannot find a job. He got into Global warming issue to make money and now it looks NBC got him a job. No wonder ratings for NBC are going down the toilet.

I hope that this is as funny as his appearance on SNL a few years ago.

Oh, I remember him. He's that guy who was Vice President under whatshisname.

Nothing Mr. Gore has done (including the upcoming "30 Rock" appearance) has, does, or would embarrass me HALF as much as does George W. Bush.
Also — I'd suggest that someone from Austin take a refresher course in grammar and spelling if he intends to make a point.

Hopefully, he'll invent comedy on this show, much in the way he invented the internet.

You go big Al!

My money is on you as an award winner cause you sure had plenty 'acting' experience while in politics…

Well Pat - unless you're literate…then you laugh at Gore too.

Not surprised that the disgusting little wingnuts have raised their heads to take pot shots at a noble man. It doesn't matter if you're laughing at Gore or Bush- come 2008, the whole country will be laughing at the GOP. Oh, except these wingnuts who will be crying.

God, spare me the Oklahoma, Texas and Alabama idiots –

Hey, be nice to Al. As Kermit says, It ain't easy being green.

Al Gore is a patriot and I hope he answer the call.

An Incoherent Gore, Tennessee:

Get your facts straight, Gore NEVER said "I invented the Internet"

Here is what really happened:
During a CNN interview, he actually said this:
"During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."

Furthermore:

"On March 19, 1979, Gore became the first person to appear on C-SPAN, making a speech in the House chambers.[18] In the late 1980s, Gore introduced the Gore Bill, which was later passed as the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991. The bill was one of the most important pieces of legislation directly affecting the expansion of the internet."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore

But I guess you are too partisian to know the real truth with regards to the internet

As both an American and a world citizen it both saddens and angers me that Al Gore won the election fair and square yet did not end up our President. That one rigged election stuck us instead with an ammoral egocentric buffoon that has damaged America more deeply and in more ways than Biden Laden himself could have ever dreamed of. Democracy sabotaged HERE while Bush exports "democracy" to Iraq at the barrel of a gun…oh yeah, it was WMDs that brought us there, no, wait…it was Bin Laden, no wait….The second rigged election let Bush continue his savaging of America.

Go AL! I am your biggest fan!

Al Gore has a finger on he pulse of America. Love him or hate him, it doesn't matter. He knows what America needs if it is to re-establish its place as a Global Partner. Perhaps it takes someone like me, having lived in Canada, (close enough) to see how America has gotten wrapped up so much in its self-importance that it can't see its true value on the world stage -now and in the future. The world is not America. I had to move to Europe to see that. Gore would make a great president and I urge all of you who can urge him to run, to do so. The opposition still remains in the Dark Ages of progressive thought.

Al Gore The Clown - yes, I bet he thinks he invented the sitcom, too (apart from the internet). And he is right in this - one can only laugh at his "educated" stances on issues last few years…

Gore and Edwards are just about the two most hypocritical a-holes environmentalists wannabees out there. Mega square footage homes with ungodly energy consumption, yet, they have the audacity to tell us to be green..! So much for practicing what you preach..! Now, given that Obama refuses to wear an American Flag, which is utterly disgraceful for a future American President, is Hilliary our only viable candidate..? If so, it kinda scares me… The Repubs deserve a wicked thrashing in the upcoming elections, but is Hilliary going to be our only choice..? Oh good god, please say it isn't so…

Scott, Silicon Valley:
I think you're trying to make a point but seems you can't quite get there. How can "…the whole country laugh at the GOP. Oh, except these wingnuts who will be crying" be a true statement? If we have 55+ million registered Republicans or "these wingnuts" (as you infer) vote and their candidates lose, then obviously the "whole country" would not be laughing or almost half the registered voters would just be laughing at themselves. Proofreading is powerful ability…use it. If you can't make sense when communicating, don't participate in adult conversations!

Sick & tired of this wacko. Go build houses with Jimmy Carter another out of touch America.

Gore/Obama '08

He will win the Nobel Peace Prize, then throw his hat in the race and will win.

Scott
Unless you run Hillary - then you will have to think up the "excuses" you guys always come up with when you lose - how about these "its because she's a woman…well..kind of" or maybe "they don't like the fact she's a socialist….they are socialist bashing" - I know Democrats who won't vote for her….and it looks like we are running the only moderate candidate - Giuliani - and will win….its not a GOP win….its a win for moderates everywhere….(Democrats, Republicans…and Independents)

this guy needs attention

Run Al Run! Mr. Gore is a very wise man. He spoke out against the war, he has not been afraid to stand up for what he believes. He is a good man. Bless him for expanding his repetoire and doing comedy. GW would be funnier if he wasn't so dangerous. Giulianni? you gotta be kidding me!
