I thought Bill was the original Come Back Kid. Looks like our old pal Al Gore is making a career out of sucking up to Hollywood big wigs.
It’s hard to believe that Al won an Oscar for a campaign speech, but that’s what An Inconvenient Truth really is. He made a movie out of a speech with slides.
For years I pitied Al because he was so close to taking the White House. He and Bill just didn’t have the cajones to send in tanks and take it.
Now Al wins an Emmy to go with the Oscar. For what? Current TV, an obscure television channel that nobody watches. Think of it as YouTube on TV instead of your computer. Kids already have the attention span of a former Fox broadcaster turned White House press secretary. Two minute clips of home videos will help kids how? Bob Saget was the last person to make money from video clips. Even Google can’t figure out how.
Al gets an Emmy but at least he was shrewd enough to share it with Hyatt and others involved in Current. They’re all looking for work elsewhere. Speaking of work, I’m adding Al to my project list. I want him to have a job. He isn’t any good on the campaign trail, but someone’s bound to need a guy with a good Hollywood Rolodex.
Al’s money quote
“We are trying to open up the television mediums so that viewers can help to make television and join the conversation of democracy and reclaim American democracy by talking about the choices we have to make.”
Whatever.
