2000 Presidential Loss Real Reason For Gore Split?

A CBS clip suggests that the real reason for the Al and Tipper Gore split after 40 years of marriage is his loss in the 2000 Presidential election. Understandably, it haunts Gore.

It remains surprising and unusual for a couple of 40 years to split. Who would have bet that Bill and Hillary would be married past the Gores?

There is a link here to a Real Clear Politics video that places the blame on that election loss.

It makes for something new to blame on George Bush. At least no one has placed the collapse of the marriage on another woman.

Gore “Fool Of The Week”

“The interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees,” said Al Gore during the Conan O’Brien Show.

If true, that would eliminate the problem of cold feet. Of course, nothing would be alive on earth as it would be a sun. The earth is actually 5,000 to 9,000 degrees.

That was enough to make Gore “Fool of the Week.”

I am sure after the ridicule of the last week that Gore realizes the difference now.

Gore’s misstep points out why the best spokespersons for scientific issues are scientists. Unfortunately, most scientists present themselves as spokespersons as well as Gore presents scientific facts.

As the world’s leading voice against global warming, Gore should really know better. His error was not just one of getting a fact wrong, it violated common sense. Then again, that is exactly what a fool does.

Gore Thinks The Center Of The Earth Is A Sun

It is a little bit scary when the main advocate of global warming gets his facts so wrong.

In this interview with Conan O’Brien, Al Gore states that “the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees.”

I am going to assume Gore just made a gaffe and does not really believe that. The interior of the earth is several thousands of degrees, somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000. The interior of the sun is several million of degrees.

If the earth’s interior was that hot, the earth would be a sun.

Gore Compares Environmental Struggle To Nazis

I can understand what Al Gore is saying about a lack of political will to confront global warming, but comparing it to Nazis is a bit overboard.

Scalia Blames Gore For 2000 Debacle

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia blames Al Gore for the 2000 election fiasco that ended before the U.S. Supreme Court.

I didn’t bring it into the courts. Mr. Gore brought it into the courts. So if you don’t like the courts getting involved talk to Mr. Gore.,” Scalia said during an interview with a British newspaper.

Scalia’s memory is a little weak or just convenient. The first court case was filed by Palm Beach voters in state court. The first Federal suit was filed by the Bush-Cheney campaign. Sorry Antonin, you are still responsible for your votes.
