What is Al Gore doing wearing all black and then bowing both left and right with that cornball whatever-it-is-called clasped hands deal? An eye-roller. He appeared on the Daily Show Wednesday to pitch his movie and book.
At the end he swings his arms way back as if he’s going to jump in the pool. I thought the whole thing was odd.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Yep, ummm, no weirder than monkey Bush and his strange facial tics and smirking. Or, no weirder than the effed-up House and Senate who are totaly insane and anti technology in their upcoming Telecom bill.
The new looser, more easy-going, less-robotic, every-man Al Gore!
He’s been kinda going for that hip Steve-Jobs-all-black-look lately, eh? Jeez, he’s sure plumped up over the years. That 1st pic of Stewart is funny! He’s like… “Uhhhhh…… ok.”
p.s. God forbid an entry goes by without someone bringing Bush into it…! WTF????
I think it is weirder. When did Gore become a Hindu or the Pope or whatever that clasped hands thing is supposed to represent? How about merely waving like a normal person?
And yes, Stewart looks as if he’s stunned by all this and saying, “what the…?” He was also quite skeptical about all this and seemed unimpressed with the Gore global warming alarmism.
And you guys wanted this tool to be president. I’m glad Bush stole the election 😉
Am I the only one who thought the cover shot of him on Wired was ugly and completely unflattering? That magazine sure has gone downhill, graphically speaking. Where has the edge gone? (Rhetorical. Answer: same place the advertising $$ went.)
But not to hijack the thread—he’s a loon!
Also, check out Stewarts face in the first frame. Looks like he thinking to himself, “What the hell is this guy doing”

Oh wait, Zuke got #2 in only 6-minutes ahead of your #6… guess I have to cut you some slack. 🙂
That little prayer-like hand greeting is called a wai and is a common greeting in Thailand. Done correctly and sincerely it can be quite charming. Unfortunately there are a zillion twerps otherwise that do it because they think it’s cool and, of course, they make asses of themselves.
lol – Considering that Gore has such a reputation for lacking passion, his critics certainly make up for it.
I really wanted “hard-hitting” reporter Jon Stewart to ask Al Gore, on tape, why Mr. Gore felt the need to embellish the facts as reported in his book. And yes, he did admit this in an interview that of course was immediately burried by the liberal media. But he justifies himself by saying that the lies were for a good cause… Learned from his old boss, I guess.
I’d sure love to get through the day without hearing once again about the “liberal” media.
As a liberal (in the classical sense of the word) I’d sure love to know where I can tune in to this mythical liberal media.
I have to agree. When he ran for president i wasnt sure who to vote for. He is that guy that comes to the party and your not sure who invited him. he tells everyone that they are special in thier own way and trys to get everyone to sing kum bah yah.
Why is it that Jesse Ventura seems like a better canidate then what the Dems have had for a while?
Jesse in 08! ? ! ?
ps This is for Zuke,
Bush sucks
“At the end he swings his arms way back as if he’s going to jump in the pool.”
I thought he was about to leap over the desk in a single bound. 🙂
I didn’t see the actual clip, but you have to admit the above descriptions sound exactly like what Conan O’Brien does each and every show. This is a guy deemed so cool and relaxed that they have already decided that he is going to be the successor to Jay Leno. So what’s a guy to do to be cool, emulate Martha Stewart?

“total loser idiot moron”
“A lump of dog-crap would be a better president.”
“I question the intellegence and sanity of anyone that still supports this goofball.”
Yes, throw the most possible spur-of-the-moment insults at a man and it’ll somehow make situations better.
*sigh*
Say anything you want about Al Gore, but who here is doing more for the planet at this time. Any of you posters working to make the world more aware of it’s condition? I’ll tell you one thing for damn sure, if Gore was president there would be more than 2700 Americans and coalition members still alive today.
Drugs.
Someday I hope Dvorak posts pictures of the glass house he lives in.
I be bowing too if i was being appluaded fiercely by the audience.

#16 – I tried to throw more, but my head was starting to hurt. I had to go lay down. I’ll try harder next time.

As much as I agree with Gore that climate change is reaching a critical tipping point. A 2008 choice between Gore and whichever kleptocrat the Republicans barf up would be more bad news for America. Team Gore had their opportunity in 2000 and managed to pull off a loss, against the odds, by ignoring the average voter and singing to the left of the left choir. In the eyes of Walmart America, he would have been more likeable if he had worn fake fur chaps and carried a guitar to the debates pitching himself as the singing cowboy alternative to Dubya’s hungover easily pissed off cowboy. And on the “father of the Internet” thing, after about the third time he was accused of that, he should have kicked the accuser squarely in the nuts and had the Secret Service tattoo the actual quote on the spin monkey’s ass. But that didn’t happen and now we have what we have running America.
The ‘clasped hands’ gesture is way to greet others and pray in India. Specifically in hindu religion.
Someone commented
“How about merely waving like a normal person?”
What makes you think that ppl who wave hand are the only ‘normal’ ppl?
@#17
Are you seriously going to play the what if game? You could make all kinds of absurd arguments. What if Iraq didnt happen but for some reason another terrorist attack happened or what if Saddam attacked Israel and ignited the whole region…or what if…geez.
#8 – Thanks, I learned something! Yes!
#25 – Uhhh, that was Mr. John D. who said that, not “someone”. LOL!
IN some cultures loud belching and opening your pants after a meal and public flatuance is ok too. So?
A common definition of normal when used as an ajective is:: conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern.
So how is using “normal” in this context bad? It’s not. It’s just perceived by one person as not politically correct because why? You tell me.
And now that Ithink of it, except for gurus caught on tape, I’ve never seen any Hindu I know (and I live in Berkeley!) EVER do that cornball handclasp. So why does Gore? Hence the comment.
If Gore grows a pony tail, I think he would resemble the fat and balding Steven Segal.
More like the fat, balding comic book guy from the Simpsons.
Gore must be eating very well these days — he’s huge. Damn.
You think the Bush jokes are funny. Can you imagine if that putzs became president….LOL and ROTF LOL
