Al Gore, media scholar

[DesertFox]

Brent Bozell

Al Gore’s new book “The Assault on Reason” has definitively established one fact: Al Gore is still the sorest loser in American politics. Even liberal book reviewers are wincing at the tone of his jeremiad against the Bush administration. The book should have been titled “They Should Have Elected Me Instead: How Much Better America Would Fare With President Gore.”

He seems to believe his own silly “Saturday Night Live” skit from last year, the one in which he pretended to be president and gas was 19 cents a gallon and the budget surplus was $11 trillion. He even implies he would have prevented 9/11.

Like many liberals with the itch to micromanage our lives, Gore clearly believes the American people are ignorant to the point of endangerment. So he’s become a media scholar, and unloaded his communications theories in a book excerpt hyped by his friends at Time magazine.

Al long ago became annoying. Now he's a crashing bore.

May his book wind up in the bargain bins the day after it hits the racks.

Tear-out toilet paper.

One square at a time?

He even implies he would have prevented 9/11.

That's pretty funny since he was in the #3 spot the whole time 9/11 was being planned ....

One square at a time?Well, one page, anyway. But knowing that bastard, the book will be done on the cheap and we'll all have ink-blackened asses.

the book will be done on the cheapBet it sells for $34, though. On environmentally-friendly squares paper.

The question dogging Gore followers: Will the book really be square in shape?

Perhaps the oddest part of this book tour is how masochistic the liberal media have become in response. Look no further than the 15 minutes ABC’s “Good Morning America” awarded Gore to plug his book. One segment was devoted to beating up the media, and ABC host Diane Sawyer willingly explained that Gore thought the media were distracting the public just as farmers can hypnotize chickens. ABC put these words on the screen: “Al Gore’s Media Assault: Is The News Hypnotizing You?”
OK, maybe the first few horrifically mistimed speeches could theoretically be explained by a string of the worst luck any politician has ever suffered. But after his astronomically unlikely series of "accidents", he's finally worked up the courage to overtly attempt political suicide - and he's trying to take the liberal media with him in some bizarre sort of lover's pact.

But that's not the really crazy part. The really crazy part is that the liberal media are still almost literally falling all over themselves to invite this one-man disaster area onto their shows and give him as much airtime as is humanly possible.

Will the book really be square in shape?Well, rectangular is the next best thing. But it should have rounded corners so that no one will poke his eye out, and be printed on 100% recycled paper from the unsold copies of his previous books.
