Apparently lawyers for former Vice President Al Gore have filed numerous lawsuits against TIME magazine, alleging a series of voting irregularities they maintain deprived Gore of the magazine's "Person of the Year" designation. It has been announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin received the 2007 designation, with Gore finishing second.

Details of the suits are sketchy, but one of them accuses certain unnamed TIME employees of denying others the right to vote when it was determined they were leaning toward Gore. Rumors have surfaced that one employee, known only as "Chad", has confirmed those rumors. Another separate suit claims the voting process to be far too complicated to be understood by, to quote the lawsuit, "a bunch of journalists." Gore's lawyers are calling for a recount of the ballots in question. They also demand that independent observers from the United Nations Commission on Climate Change be allowed access to any recount procedures.

"Mr. Gore has won an Emmy and an Oscar for his important work, not to mention a Nobel Peace Prize," said a spokesman for the Vice President. "They don't even have an Oscar ceremony in Russia. Who ever sees Russian films anyway?"

Some Gore supporters have accused Republicans of using dirty tricks to manipulate the results. One close advisor, requesting anonymity, claimed, "Putin is just the kind of civil rights trampling dictator the GOP loves to see in power. It would be interesting to sit down with those who voted and find out just how many have been subjected to Guantanamo-like coercion. Republicans knew Bush wouldn't win, so this was the next best thing."

So far, there have been no official comments from the White House, the Kremlin or Time.

Damn, here we go again.

Just wondering ...



Though in thinking about it some more - I certainly lack comedic ability. But I love to see it well done by others. My impression is that comedy has to be both unexpected and relevant to be funny. Anything else is just lame.

It's both relevant and funny. It's crystal clear to most that once AlGore lost the 2000 election, he imploded. Then exploded ( around the waist ). And then went searching for a purpose to live. He found his 'purpose', masquerading as a man w/ a cause. To save the planet !!! He's adored by the DUMB MASSES, is accountable to no one, and gets to trash the very country which he feels wronged him by not making him President. It's all manner of hi-larious, as he , once again, he is denied to what he feels he's entitled.

He did ? Or is that a figment of your partisan 'true believership" ? You know where facts get denied to maintain your own twisted fanatsies. I'm guessing the latter, since I don't see a whole lot of giggling from anyone.

"Then exploded ( around the waist )." And this is relevant - how exactly ? In fact, do you HAVE a point ? I'm guessing - no.

You know what they say - right ? Only someone would look behind the door who's hidden there himself. I'm guessing your life is terribly empty, you have no friends, your job sucks hairy balls and is low-wage besides. Except you have no answers to your own predicaments. So you cravenly criticize someone who seems to have got past all that.

In every single one of your posts all you can manage is a slew of unsupported partisan swipes - no facts, no argument, just invective. You must be feeling really bad about the repubican melt-down at this point.
