(135,425 posts)Al has been sidelined. In case you didn't notice. He has his Current TV niche, but he's not a player on the larger scene anymore beyond that tiny little effort that reaches a very limited audience. He's been pointed out as the guy who won the Presidency and had it taken from him, and then he went a little crazy and it was all downhill from there. He's had to pay money to shut people up. He doesn't have his Tipper anymore. He does have a shitload of baggage.
He could walk through a mall unnoticed--I'll bet most college students wouldn't recognize his face if presented with a picture of him.
But most importantly, and to his great credit despite his personal imbroglios, you don't see Al Gore trying to fuck over Barack Obama by pretending that both political parties are "equivalent" on climate issues--and that IS what MM is doing. Al Gore is using his niche TV station to HELP the Democrats; MM is trying to reach out to an audience focused on the debate to fling shit willy-nilly, like he always does. Coming soon to a theater near you...MM's latest scold! Step right up and give him your money to have him tell you what you already know!!
