Beyond the parody, there is something almost poignantly painful about Al Gore talking about so many of the issues that many of us thought were important back in the 2000 election, that have so ignominiously blown up in our faces during this Bush Administration.
I had almost forgotten how much I miss competent government.
If the Democrats can just remind us of this, I think they have a hell of a chance in the next elections.

Last night, "Saturday Night Live," <http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/> opened their show with Al Gore addressing the nation as if he was the President of the United States. Gore was focused and quite funny in this entertaining spoof of the current administration and their long range of failures. He also parodied himself and the media (when they falsely claimed he said he created the internets) by saying that he invented an Anti-Hurricane and Tornado Machine.
