Maureen Dowd: Ozone Man Sequel
Maureen Dowd: Ozone Man Sequel

HOLLYWOOD

Al Gore now has a movie with an Oscar and a grandson named Oscar.

Who could ask for anything more?

Al Gore could.

The best ex-president who was never president could make one of the most interesting campaigns in American history even more interesting. Will he use his green moment on the red carpet in black tie to snag blue states and win the White House?

Only the Goracle knows the answer.

The man who was prescient on climate change, the Internet, terrorism and Iraq admitted that maybe his problem had been that he was too far ahead of the curve. He realized at a conference that “there’re ideas that are mature, ideas that are maturing, ideas that are past their prime ... and a category called ‘predawn.’

“And all of a sudden it hit me,” he told John Heilemann of New York magazine last year. “Most of my political career was spent investing in predawn ideas! I thought, Oh, that’s where I went wrong.”

As Mr. Gore basked Sunday night in the adoration of Leo, Laurie David and the rest of the Hollywood hybrid-drivers, Democrats wondered: Is this chubby guy filling out the Ralph Lauren three-piece tuxedo a mature idea or an idea that’s past its prime?

1. When will Ms Dowd apologize to Al Gore?
Edited on Wed Feb-28-07 11:22 AM by Apollo11
From the column: "When he’s finished Web surfing, tweaking his PowerPoint and BlackBerrying, what goes through his head? Does he blame himself? Does he blame the voting machines? Ralph Nader? Robert Shrum? Naomi Wolf? How about Bush Inc. and Clinton Inc.?"

If I was Al Gore I would put some of the blame at the door of Maureen Dowd of the NYT, Katherine Q Seelye of the WaPo and others in the so-called "liberal media" who helped Karl Rove spread lies and smears about Al Gore that created the conditions for the GOP to steal the Whitehouse in 2000. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for her to apologize ...


Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:

2. Maureen sounds like an old sparing partner ..
Standing at the edge of the ring and daring him to step in ... if AL is looking for apologies politics probably isn't the right spot for him ... this is about public service and Dubya is leaving this country in DEEP ... we need a leader and if he wants in ... surf's up, baby ... HANG TEN ... ;-)
