WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Al Gore, long mocked as an exaggerating bore, seems certain to land a lead role at the Democratic National Convention as an internationally recognized defender of the Earth.

Eight years after losing one of the closest White House elections ever, Gore is being embraced by party faithful as the Nobel Peace Prize-winning crusader against global warming, and one of the most successful failed U.S. presidential nominees in history.

While the Democratic Party has yet to announce its lineup of convention speakers, the former vice president is on an anticipated short list of headliners at the four-day gathering in Denver that opens on August 25, party aides say. "He'll receive a tremendous reception," said Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, a convention delegate.

"A lot of us still feel he was cheated" in the 2000 vote, Harkin said. "If he'd been president, we wouldn't have had these (Bush administration) messes the past eight years."

7. Reuters ...an example

....Reuters, though long pilloried by the left as a hacknied mouthpiece for the wingnut crazies currently in power, again allows itself to become a tool in the McShame Campaign.

See how easy it is???


Proud to be represented by Tom Harkin a consistent progressive voice.

9. ***THE ONLY EXAGGERATING BORE WAS THE CORPORATE MEDIA!!!***

They lied continuously and they were and are boring as hell too boot!

This also means they exaggerated, stretched the truth, told whoppers, spoke with forked tongue, their pants were on fire from lying, they were untruthful and dishonest, they bore false witness against Al Gore, they omitted, they spun, they obfuscated, they brainwashed, they used propaganda, and I blame them more than I do Cheney/Bush because while Cheney/Bush may be some evil individuals in power, the corporate media was an institution that turned evil while enabling Cheney/Bush to power.

Having said that, I have more respect for Reuters than I do AP by a mile.
