I know any attempt at a joke at in which the punchline is “Al Gore really won the election” is going to get a huge laugh for the self-indulgent nitwits that make up most of Hollywood, but here’s an idea to get a laugh out of everyone else. As soon as Ellen DeGeneres made the joke, a siren could have gone off while balloons fell from the ceiling. Then a man could come out and announce DeGeneres is the one billionth liberal to make a lame “Gore won the election” joke and she gets a free copy of Coping with Loss.
I think I might have laughed at that, but the moment is gone.
While we’re on the subject, we all know that you don’t get the Presidency for winning the popular vote, but did Gore get a framed certificate that said something to the effect of “Won the popular vote in an election for U.S. President.” You all have to admit that that’s at least worth a framed certificate.
