Al Gore Wins Emmy

Think Progress:

Tonight, Al Gore won an Emmy for Current TV, his global television network that allows viewers to "create and influence what airs on TV." The audience gave Gore a long standing ovation as he and his Current TV partner, Joel Hyatt, walked onstage to receive the award for "interactive television services." From Gore's thank you speech:

[W]e are trying to open up the television medium so that viewers can help to make television and join the conversation of democracy and reclaim American democracy by talking about the choices we have to make.

Al is the best! How different the world would be today if we had only got the guy we voted for.

Will the Nobel be next? I hope so.

My favorite Gore interview can be heard at http://hawkeanddove.com/

The point that Gore and DiCaprio could ease carbon emissions by posting their movies for free on the internet instead of producing a product, distributing it and having people commute to see it is a good one.

Only one reason they won't.

Whoa...the­re's a lot of folks posting here that need to get a life, get a grip, lose the term 'troll', and grow up. Global warming caused by man is a crock. You are all dupes...an­d some are dopes. Al Gore is surfing your wave of gullibility and pocketing all the cash he can while you're still dazzled by his brightness­.(Boy, THAT's a funny thought isn't it) Anyway, every careless word you morons throw out there is chipping away at the foundation of the greatest civilized nation on the planet...a­nd you are too comfy in your stupidity to see it. We will survive...­in spite of you. And finally, to you Hollywood takers and bottom feeders, and you know who you are...you’­re becoming tiring and boring. We know you love socialism, it’s just that we also know that you don’t know what socialism means. Talk about glittering jewels of colossal ignorance!

[YellowDogInRedCounty]

Try citing some FACTS, Phocus, instead of just calling names. We already have one troll (johnnyjus­tdoesntget­it) who is in charge of the juvenile name calling so if you can't bring some FACTS to the table, please just shut the f**k up.

[kellygrrrl]

Oscar, check

Next stop: Noble Peace Prize

let's see if Rove can steal that one

[LeftLeaner]

He's the Right-Wing's Conscience (if it exists).

They wish he would go away so they wouldn't have to keep being reminded about stealing the 2000 Election, and what a loser they stole it for.

[Macready]

Congratulations Al Gore!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­! so very happy you won an well-deserved award!

[castlerider]

It's still not too late...
Seems like if Gore was to run, it would be better to hold off until the very last minute because the corporate media will try to bounce him like a basketball­..
He'll have to get dirt dog mean which isn't his normal style, but which most Americans will most relate to and get won over with, because it's the same way we all get screwed over by the right wingers when any of us try to make this a better world.
With idiots like Bush, this has become completely obvious, which is why I've seen more people then ever lately letting go of that stupid right wing way of thinking that only seems to have its best moments in public bathroom stalls...

[kmccaskill]

Does Experience Matter? (Clinton and JFK didn't think so)

This Video Is Showing That Obama can be president because two fmr presidents were
where he is right now, history proves experience makes an either worse president( nixon, bush, vp dick cheney, defense sec.rumsfe­ld)

Per the video, the full quote that Pres. Clinton echo'd is per Albert Einstein (give or take):

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while HOPING FOR DIFFERENT RESULTS."

[johnnyjust]

Al Gore could wipe his ass and they'd give him an award for what was left.

Oh, right, that already happened..­.and he got an Oscar for it.

[castlerider]

Yeah, right- and you were there in the bathroom stall hoping to get it, right troll?

[LeftLeaner]

Rather than being so bitter, use your mind, and look inward. The only reason for your anger is with yourself.

[YellowDogInRedCounty]

Oh look - another post from johnnyjustdoesntget it and of course it's another post where he doesn't actually discuss any facts he just calls names. How sad. That's all the trolls have is name calling.
