Former Vice President Al Gore on Wednesday suggested a curious culprit was to blame for President Barack Obama’s lackluster debate performance: Denver’s high altitude.
“Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started,” Gore said on Current TV. “Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet and you only have a few hours to adjust — I don’t know.”
When asked why the altitude didn’t similarly affect Obama during his 2008 Denver nomination acceptance speech — widely considered by Democrats and Obama to be the greatest political speech ever given in front of injection-molded faux Greek columns — well, he wasn’t.
Thank goodness for those carbon credit scams that keep Gore rolling in the cabbage. Because something tells me Current TV is not much more than a vanity project (listen to the other panelists pretend to take this argument seriously), albeit one that manages to keep alive rumors that Andy Kaufman never really died, but rather just replaced his Tony Clifton makeup for an Al Gore fatsuit and is now living as the former VP, goofing on all of us.

He’s just trying to sooth Muslim terrorists by showing we can be just as jaw dropping stupid.
SCIENCE!!! Also, this is why the Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets and Avalanche have never lost at home.

The likes of Obama, Gore and Biden ought to be sufficient proof of the collapse of American politics from their mere appearance on the stage. Time was these sorts would have physically been run out of town tarred and feathered on a fence-rail hewn from the log itself by the hands of Abe Lincoln. And ol’ Abe would have laughed and laughed.
Speaking of Current TV losers, Elliot Spitzer is despondent. Because facts, I tell you!
That performance is here if you’re interested.
Ben Franklin was a philanderer! Q.E.D.
…retired to a quiet life of hooker biting…
LMAO!
With Gore, I could see that happening.

The “facts”(TM) have a leftward bias! (As long as we do all the editing and production. Otherwise the facts are revolutionary obstacles of the running dog, exploitative, capitalist gusano paymaster, that need to be covered up and or revised to suit the interests of the people.)
Oh, for pete’s sake. I have done some pretty demanding technical work in an aircraft flying over the Atlantic, where the cabin pressure altitude was more like 6 or 7 thousand feet.
Al Gore is a know-nothing who thinks that anything correlated to some end effect must be causative.
“Al Gore is a know-nothing who thinks that anything correlated to some end effect must be causative.”
He has shown he doesn’t know how to distinguish “controversial” from “stupid” anyhow.
You’d think a guy who had flunked out of divinity school would still be able to understand post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Obviously, Mr. Obama is powerless in the rarefied air of Denver without those Roman columns
Most Democrats are.
Isn’t ManBearPig from Colorado? Where was he last night?
Heh. Mike, my son said Gore looks like the ManBearPig now.
If he wasn’t such a creep, I’d almost feel sorry for Al. He’s failed at everything..
– Divinity School
– Law School
– President
– Carrying his home state
– Only becoming a senator because he has the same name as his old man
Yet, somehow, I still don’t feel sorry for him.
Poor Al, he should have taken this old saying to heart: “Choose your enemies carefully, for you will become much like them.”
I think with Al it’s a case of “you are what you eat.”
Which appears to be everything.
Ha!
I refuse to believe a founding member of the Choom Gang can’t function while high.
