Bush and Gore: An Inconvenient Reunion?
November 16, 2007 2:21 PM
ABC News' Jennifer Duck Reports: The man who hoped to win the White House in 2000 will finally be congratulated by the man who beat him in the end. George W. Bush and Al Gore will be face-to-face at the White House on Monday, November 26th.
Awkwardly, the President and former Vice President will meet at the place where Gore once thought he had enough votes to sit -- the Oval Office. Bush is expected to congratulate Gore and other US Nobel Peace Prize winners in a ceremony.
It's no secret that President Bush doesn't see eye-to-eye with most of Gore's talking points on the issue of climate change.
Gore, who also narrated a documentary about global warming called "An Inconvenient Truth," shares the Peace Prize with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

If Al Gore can become more Green than Ralph Nadar after losing the Presidential race, then Gore should have no problem being gracious to Bush. I have $2 riding on the chance that Gore will make a joke about finally reaching the Oval Office when he gets there.

Gore should have a wet wipe to wash his hands immediately after shaking Bush's.

And Gore could add to his humor saying that he's lucky that the Nobel Peace Prize wasn't decided by the Electoral College.

For a REAL RUSH, watch the 2000 debates, see who the liar is. Pick out the one who makes statements ONLY TO GET ELECTED, and see who has "morphed" into the opposite of what he claimed.

If I was Al I would gracefully decline to make the trip. Say he is going to do his part by cutting travel

They should just kiss and make up, and maybe sing a Christmas carol or two--to get everyone in the holiday spirit!

bush should also congratulated gore for beating him in "2000" and to say he was sorry for stealing the white house from him.. and the American people... greg

Correction: GORE HAD ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN IN 2000 -- THE SUPREME COURT SIMPLY REFUSED TO ALLOW THEM TO BE COUNTED.

Bush did not beat Gore...get a clue ABC and stop the propaganda.

Al Gore is a very intelligent man. It must be hard for him to accept defeat at the hands of our inarticulate cowboy, ape-like president.

Bush should ask Gore who has the most energy efficient home. Bush lives in an eco-friendly home that recycles rain, is made of scrap materials, and uses geothermal climate control. He built it before the current fad. Al Gore lives in a big, sprawling, and wasteful mansion that uses 20x the electricity of an average home. Ironic...yet the news media ignores it.

The idea that Gore won was debunked by every study performed...including one by the liberal New York Times. Why do people spread propaganda on the web? No wonder liberals don't think score should be kept at kid's soccer games... they never learned to accept defeat graciously.

What does cherry-picking environmental details some of which have proven to be false in a court have to do with nobel "peace" prize? Evidently there is a strong politically-correct group on the Nobel panel. I thank God that Gore was not the commander in chief on September 11.

The Userper-chimp meets the legitimately elected-but-robbed real president of the US, Al Gore. Bush was inserted by the Supreme Court. He didn't win Florida, that's why Supreme court, his daddy's buddies, had to stop the re-count. Bush never was legitimate president and he's proved it by his complete piece of #hit performance while in office. And finger up to all you right wingers who hate Al Gore. You are the losers. Gore, whatever his faults is a better man than any of his right-wing-nutjob detractors.

Al Gore is a class act. He knows how to act like a true gentleman.

I simply cannot believe ABC News. We have aleways watched ABC News. I am through. When Tim Johnson (suppose to be a doctor) was praising Hillary Clinton about Health Care, I thought what an idiot. Gore is most of the time off on some tangent that he knows nothing about. Goodbye ABC, along with a lot of other people who feel the same.

I love the comment about "I thank God that Gore was not the commander in chief on September 11". Ha! If Gore was President, September 11th would never have happened! At least his cabinet and national security advisor would have been competent, and *paying attention* to what the FBI, NSA, CIA, etc., etc. were saying!
Posted by: Jimmy | Nov 17, 2007 10:18:54 AM
Kevin, Won't you please elaborate on those studies funded by questionable sources that 'debunk' the studies presented by Gore. BTW, I won't keep score at a wus game like soccor either.

Bush and Gore holding hands. Finally the country can unite.

I am writting from Nigeria.
I can now see why America is looking the other way in the electoral fraud commited here in April 2007. Like Bush like Yaradua.
