Just an Idea

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.

    Yes, a nice wood-and-glass one, not one of those cheap Wal-Mart frames.
    Furthermore, it would be a nice gesture for the next president to award it.

  2. What? Was the Oscars on or something? I must have been busy having a life.
    A pity I missed the 1 Billionth Algore Wuz Robbed Joke. Alas.
    That popular vote straw man is the last refuge of the Loser. In my opinion the “popular” vote should not even be televised, and used only for its intended purpose, determining the real vote; which is laid out in the Constitution, blah blah blah.

  3. Why does anyone even bother watching those MSM award shows? If I want to watch a group of idiots waste time, pat each other on the back & speak in cheap allegories, I’ll sit in on a congressional session. (Hey! Al Gore…allegory… I think I’ve discovered something)
    I would watch an award show for liberal politicians, supporters & protesters featuring awards for:
    Most Arrested
    Loudest Rant
    Best French Bath
    Wittiest Protest Sign/Shirt
    Best Supporting Dumbass
    Longest Stretching of Truth
    Drunkest or Highest

  4. Gore declared last night’s Academy Awards to be the first “green” Oscars – which struck me as funny, because I don’t recall any buses pulling up to the red carpet. Maybe all those limos were electric. Yah…

    California “environmentalism” at its finest. I get to experience it frequently, in the form of bumper stickers on BMW SUVs passing me on my bicycle on my way to or from work.

    I think this was a referance to what they were all smoking.
    Actually, I think the Oscar would be best served if renamed, “The Golden Bolshevic.” McCarthy should have finnished the job.

    I used to live with a couple of old geezers (not elderly people…these two fit basically every stereotype about the elderly you can think of except for the walkers) when I was going to school at Santa Cruz. You know, Hippie Central?
    Old Geezer Lady-Type decided to become a “liberal” sometime before I got there, I suppose in an effort to “fit in” or make herself feel younger or something. The truly hilarious thing was that they had a camper that they took for dog shows (she bred a variant of Papillons) with — I pull not your leg — a bumper sticker that read, “We’re unwilling for offshore drilling”.
    That’s why in northern CA, the meme of “Big Corporations” intentionally polluting the environment and kidnapping babies from liberal families is so rampant: no one wants to apply environmental regulations to their own lives…that’s the job of other people. They haven’t quite figured out that all those socially-aware campers add up.
