I just watched the video Wlady linked to featuring Al Gore blaming President Obama’s poor debate performance on the thin air in Denver.
Is the former Vice-President saying all that air went out of Obama’s campaign?
Well, given the consensus, it would seem that Romney took the air out of Obama rather than Air Force One.
Or put another way, Obama’s problem wasn’t his altitude; it was his attitude.

No Aaron, it's not because he thinks the air went out of Obama's campaign, It's because he's insane.

If true, it can't be good for Gore's wind farm investments!

Wasn't Denver where he had the great "False Greek Columns" speech? Picked that up from Fox this AM.

Another way to paraphrase this unbalanced jackass of a former VPOTUS' remarks is that he suggested that the myth of Obama's inevitable reelection vanished into thin air.

Algore believes it is the global warming, or is it global cooling?, that made Obama stupid and uninformed.
Albert Constantine Jr.| 10.4.12 @ 4:47PM
I when I heard Mr. Al-gore speak on the recording, he seems to have lost that black southern preacher accent you referred to the other day ("They don't even want to count you in the Census").
Albert Constantine Jr.| 10.4.12 @ 4:50PM
Sorry, it should have started "When" instead of "I when". Starting too many sentences with "I" is a characteristic of Obama.
CJW| 10.4.12 @ 8:53PM
According to Algore, Obama cannot function in Denver because of the altitude. He cannot handle a 3AM phone call either. Imagine if he had to take the 3AM call while in Denver or some other city with a hight altitude.

I guess that also means when he tools around the country on Air Force one he's worthless?
Bob Grant| 10.5.12 @ 10:00AM
That would be Air Force One.
Bob Grant| 10.4.12 @ 11:34PM
This talk about air, or lack thereof, reminds me of a song from the legendary, and under-appreciated, music group Air Supply.
Really think about these lyrics:
"I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know"
Ok, granted, these lyrics really have nothing to do with the issue at hand but they make about as much sense as Algore's explanation of why Teh One got his arse handed to him.
Now, if only Air Supply would team up with Juice Newton for a World tour, I'd be a happy man :-/

You may need to re-read the fine print on your 'man card', because it contains the address for you to mail it back

Sorry,
AMSpec doesn't have a sarcasm emoticon so I threw in a "/" instead.
If you read paragraph IV, section ii, addendum (c) of your standard MC, it makes allowances for what I attempted to do.
The man card stays in the wallet.
I mean really, doesn't Al Gore, Air Supply, and Juice Newton kinda fit?

There is a problem with shamockracy, and the following blurb might be somewhere in the ball park about it. Some higher specie animals choose to procreate the way the evolved humans do, others choose to evolve and re-create themselves into duplicates of the fossil remains of all the pre-ancestral species they were before their modern versions, just for the sake of nostalgia, if not fashion. Just for the sake of changing roles between the three sexes in evolved America, all the males should have their after-births genetically engineered into dark haired hermaphrodites with yellow eyes, green teeth, and 10 apposing thumbs.
