My personal fave today, Hurt at NYPost: Only Global-Warming Guru Gore can Stop the Meltdown.
If anyone can figure out where the bitter truth stops and the satire starts in that kneeslapper, or vice versa, please let me know. Hurt has hit on what would be a final, crowning, disastrous absurdity of Dem Race ‘08: Goracle to the rescue.

“‘The only reason we ever lose is when we beat ourselves,’ one nervous Democrat grumbled yesterday as the primary dogfight dragged on.”
The sad thing is, they really believe this.

Pardon me while I stop and smell the schadenfreude.

How about a Gore/Clinton ticket. Wouldn’t that just set Bill’s teeth on edge.
Okay, seriously now. Nope, I can’t do it. I just can’t take this seriously. How is one to seriously consider that the world isn’t being given to an Atlas, but to a mental midget with a mediocre character, whichever one wins.

John Derbyshire, the skunk in the garden party at National Review, has been telling the same joke for months.
As a serious proposition, the Gore-Dandy-to-the-Rescue scenario has two problems:
1. Al Gore has to want to do it. There is no indication from Al Gore that he wants to give up his cushy, lucrative, tenured chair in Prophecies of Doom at the Church of Global Warming and dive back in to electoral politics.
2. Lots of other people who are not named “Al Gore” have to want it, too. They’re called “delegates.” There is no indication that any signicicant number of them are saying, “Boy, if (circle one: Hillary! Obama! ) doesn’t win it on the first ballot, I’m gonna join the big spontaneous ‘Draft Gore’ movement that doesn’t exist yet.”
