This is either the funniest or the scariest thing I’ve read all day:
If there is a single appointment Barack Obama could make to signal how dramatically things will change in Washington, it would be to name Albert Gore Jr. — former House member, former senator, former vice president, former presidential nominee and current Custodian of the Planet — as secretary of state. For all the other aspirants to the job, sorry — this is an inconvenient truth.
I will admit to not paying The Goracle much attention in the past couple of years – other than to note with some hilarity that the carbon footprint of his infamous Live Earth concert was roughly the size of the ex-planet Pluto – he’s always just been there, like an ever-swelling Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon. Only now this Cohen person has to go and make him the boogeyman in the closet for those of us still retaining our cognitive capabilities.
‘Course, that’d have to be a really large walk-in type closet.
And the justification for the expense of reinforcing all the floors in the White House?
But given that Obama has no foreign policy background, he needs a secretary of state who can really run the nation’s foreign affairs while the attention of the White House is largely directed elsewhere.
It amuses to no end the little dribs and drabs about The Messiah’s actual lack of real world experience the media is allowing to slip into their post-election articles, it’s almost textbook passive-aggressive behavior. It surely does not stem from a sense of guilt or shame for completely ignoring same pre-election. They’re all just fucking nuts.
Hey, that’s one less jet The Goracle will have to fly in order to spread his message of changing weather patterns. (And record regional lows.)

By tossing in hints of how unqualified Obama is for the job that they pushed for him, they think they are covering their own asses… “What? We said all along he didn’t know what he was doing! Please refer to the article we wrote about Al Gore being SoS! Just because it was after the election doesn’t mean we were running interference for him!”
