I quite honestly have nothing better to do right now than blog. It is that narcissistic “I have nothing to say but I’m going to say it anyway” type of blog.
I caught Al Gore on Larry King Live the other night ad I have to say I was impressed. I guess he is finally free to speak his mind and he isn’t really dancing around direct statements like most politicians do. Of course these days he is a statesman, movie star and PowerPoint-lecture-on-the-end-of-the-world-giver. He is not (apparently) a politician anymore. You have to admit, the man is damn smart. It is nice to have someone in the public eye with a southern accent that is actually intelligent. Unlike the current resident Whitehouse "southerner" Gore is actually from the south. I’d love to know when exactly Texas became W’s home.
According to IMDB.com Al Gore was born in Washington, DC. Still technically the south. W was born in New Haven and that is decidedly not the south. That isn’t such a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with being a New England child of privilege who went to an Ivy League school and was in Skull and Bones. That seems to be exactly the type of person who could reach the presidency. The funny thing is W seems to run like hell from that distinction. He wants you to believe he’s just a good old boy who cleans brush off his Texas ranch all day. I’m ashamed I was born two blocks from a Krystals and W seems to openly want people to think he had just that type of childhood.
Alas, I digress. Gore for all that he drawls his speech is decidedly more intelligent than any other politician I've seen in the last few years. Like nerdy-needs-a-swirly after class kind of smart. Exactly the kind of character Bush wants you to think he beats up after class. I’m just wondering if Bush wedged that in before or after cheerleading practice. I'll bet he wishes people would forget his spirit squad days. Once again, I digress. My point was that Al Gore became his boring old intelligent straight talking self and suddenly everybody wants him to run for president again. So I guess maybe American is realizing what happens when they put their favorite frat boy in office. Maybe 2008 will be the year of the nerd president.
Forget the suave and smooth alpha-males of old and let’s finally get a complete and total nerd running things. I for one would rather have a guy who would bore me to death at his presidential address but knows what he is talking about. What type of leader is someone who can smirk and crack a joke, but would forget his own name if it wasn't on the teleprompter? Borderline retarded people can have successful careers as Wal-Mart greeters, boxers and maybe even the occasional car salesman. They should not be in charge of running the last super power.
