Alec Baldwin: Al Gore's Political Courage
from HuffPost:




Alec Baldwin
Al Gore's Political Courage
Posted December 11, 2007 | 10:32 AM (EST)



What a glorious day to see Al Gore accept his Nobel medal and diploma in Oslo. The man once elected president of this great country, only to be turned out of office by dangerous Bush political operatives such as James Baker, myopic and cowardly Supreme Court justices, such as Sandra Day O'Connor and thugs posing as election officials on the payroll of Florida's governor, Jeb Bush.

Al Gore today takes his place as a true global leader. Through his important work, he demonstrates the insight and determination that was the measure of political courage yesterday, is so today and will be tomorrow. It is the necessary force for change that has constituted great political movements in this and other nations throughout human history. It is the essential combination of character and inspiration that we require in difficult times. Those qualities have typically resided in the one individual who can turn the guts, wealth and ingenuity of the USA into solutions for the world's problems. Today they reside in Nobel Prize winer Albert Gore. They used to reside in one that we call the President of the United States.

2. Maybe, there is still hope
besides a deadlocked Democratic Convention to draft Gore. He hasn't "ruled out" a run yet by the latest interview with him a few hours, I think, after the Nobel Peace prize award. Maybe Alex Baldwin can start a draft Gore movement, somehow, some way.

4. This is it! But, on the bright side
look at how far Gore's come and how low the flatulent monkey has sunk under the weight of his shite.

There's things we can't control but we can keep pluggin' along as we all have ..fightin' to get our country back!

6. I really like this..
"Those qualities have typically resided in the one individual who can turn the guts, wealth and ingenuity of the USA into solutions for the world's problems. Today they reside in Nobel Prize winer Albert Gore. They used to reside in one that we call the President of the United States."

10. if Al Gore had political courage, he'd get his ass in the race for president . . .
I love Al, but I'm frustrated as hell that he's still on the sidelines at a time when the crises facing the nation and the planet demand just such a man in the White House . . . making speeches and sitting on boards is no substitute for getting into the muck that is politics and telling the nation the truth -- something no candidate other than Kucinich (and sometimes Edwards) is doing . . .
