The brand, spanking new Fox Business News network is doing an hour-long segment on “Al Gore, Inc.” -- the many facets and accomplishments of the former Vice President, tomorrow, October 18th, during the 7:00a hour. I’ll be on around 7:30am to discuss my cover story, “Al Gore’s Million Makeover." Should be interesting, eh?
Needless to say, Gore’s recent run of exceptional luck has earned him this hour in the news – the Emmy for the cable network he co-founded with Joel Hyatt, Currrent TV, and his recent shared Nobel Prize for his climate change activism, for starters. But it’s also political season, and the Draft Gore movement is gaining some momentum. Unfortunately, I don’t think they’ll have a candidate at the end of the ride. And I’ll talk about that more tomorrow.
Tune in, if you can. I’d love to know what y’all think of the segment.

Do you agree with his Nobel prize, or more importantly, with all the spin in his Irrational Verdict?

Fox Newsspin was alone in saying all the prizes were politically motivated. Now you say Gore has a string of "exceptional luck". Not that he had to work for anything, that anything he did was an accomplishment? Although I agree he won't run, Fox commentators are saying he gained too much weight, as if that was a qualification. And your spin is . . .?

Nobel Prize is no longer significant with awards to Arafat and now Gore. Unforthunately a slick movie now days can get you what used to be a very relevant award.

OK, now that I've read the article, I'll say that I found it very fair, and that he did the work; he went from $1-2 mill 'rags' to riches. As for the awards, they're relevant snapshots reflecting the times they were awarded. You think the Nobel committee can be bought? Bush people have been pushing him for the award for a couple of years, and they have the slightly devalued dollars to do it.

I think that Gore himself is surprised about all these 'green' explosion. Obviously, is highly a political given prize to someone that had been recognized as champion the ecology of our planet. Hopefully, he will not run for president, that will be another story.

Candidate Gore: you exhibit the superlative signs of miscued patriotism that got your last presidents elected for two terms. Gore's movie, apart from being a boring Powerpoint presentation brought to film with interludes of him staring out airplane windows, is in fact factually wrong. There is no global warming 'crisis'. Climate swings have happened before, and many of them were more severe than the present one ( http://snipr.com/gore2 ).
Not only is his farce politically motivated, it is also factually and deliberately strewn with selective evidence. For instance, the "FUD" he created with two polar bears about to go extinct, ignores conveniently that about thirty varieties of polar bears are in fact becoming more active-- a fact he well knew, and one you can easily find with an easy Google. Even a UK court famously (but I suspect you may not about it) found 11 gross inaccuracies in the mockumentary: http://snipr.com/inconvenient_verdict
And if I were to meet him, I'd love to ask him about what he personally doing for the environment with his big ranch where he pays electric bills of 30,000 USD per year: http://snipr.com/gore1
