TVNewswer reported Monday that Katie Couric “will sit down this afternoon for an exclusive interview with former Vice President Al Gore in advance of the release of his new book, Our Choice, to be released tomorrow. Portions of the interview will air tonight on the CBS Evening News.” Full title of his latest left-wing tract, 'Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.' Don't count on Couric, however, to challenge any of Gore's premises since she's been more interested in trumpeting his cause.
Back in March and May of 2007, Couric celebrated “a lot of excitement on Capitol Hill. A movie star showed up to testify before Congress -- a movie star named Al Gore” and hailed: “He was once called 'Mr. Stiff.' Now he's known as 'The Goreacle,' the new Al Gore.” With “Gore 2.0” on screen, Couric set up the subsequent tribute by asserting that “no one's getting more attention than the latest edition of Al Gore.”
(Meanwhile, this week's Newsweek cover champions: “The Thinking Man's Thinking Man: Al Gore's New Plan for the Planet.” See cover image below the jump.)
A year later, in July of 2008, Couric heralded: 
“Al Gore laid down a green gauntlet today.” And she couldn't resist reminding viewers that Gore's “environmental work earned him a Nobel prize” before she helpfully cued him up on energy policy: “It really is multi-tiered, isn't it? I mean, it's a national security issue, it's an environmental issue.” Couric soon moved on to pushing Gore about accepting the VP slot or at least “being, say, an environmental czar” in Obama's administration.
Gore is scheduled to appear on Tuesday night on another CBS show, the Late Show with David Letterman.

Nobel prize?
November 2, 2009 - 16:17 ET by Jerry MackWhat is the big deal about a nobel prize? Obama got one!
nobel prize doesn't mean anything any more
November 2, 2009 - 16:35 ET by TheLipI agree the Nobel prize doesn't mean much any more it's become a political trophy, nothing more. They gave one to Jimmy Carter because "they wanted to slap the current American administration ( George Bush) in the face". Obama got one for just showing up even he couldn't tell you why he got it. Nobel prize is given to "who is best communist this year".
Nobels original 'prize'

November 2, 2009 - 17:03 ET by Thinking.ManDo a special on "Gore" before or after the interview, I just wonder what the "Special" costs?
Katie is one hell of Presstitute, I'll give her that.
This is interesting. I want
November 2, 2009 - 17:13 ET by ThisnThatThis is interesting. I want to watch now to compare her interview with Gore against her interview with Palin for her book; or her interview with Glen Beck for his books; or her interview with O'Reily for his books.
Oh wait. There were no interviews. I guess you have to have a specific agenda to push -- then you get to interview for the book.
BTW, has CBS turned into the social hour? Is Gore's new book the main news for today? Wow! What a gal! Earning her $15M/year, I'll say.

November 2, 2009 - 17:35 ET by upcountrywaterSir Issac Newton
It is therefore no exaggeration to identify Newton as the single most important contributor to the development of modern
science. The Latin inscription on Newton's tomb, despite its bombastic language, is thus fully justified in
proclaiming, "Mortals! rejoice at so great an ornament to the human race!" Alexander Pope's couplet is also apropos:
"Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night; God said, Let Newton be! and all was light."
Newton...Proof that Christianity and Science can flourish...

November 2, 2009 - 18:46 ET by goldboughIf anyone still believes there is a climate crisis, then they're out of their minds. What, is the temperature supposed to be exactly the same all year, every year, to the degree?
Thinking man?
November 2, 2009 - 19:16 ET by changein2012From the Washington Post... " In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore's classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row." Yeah, a brainiac.
Can she be so dense as to NOT know what 'Goracle' implies...??
November 2, 2009 - 19:22 ET by wizardjrApparently so.
Us unbelievers crowned this butt biscuit with the 'Goracle' title as a pure joke. Now this queen of the non sequitur thinks it a complementary title! How demonstrative.

November 2, 2009 - 21:08 ET by YankeeBubbaAl Gore selling anything, much less doing anything in the Old West is off base. After regular b***h-slaps, he's sell himself out as an @$$ puppet when he saw that real work and effort were required.
"Al Gore: A User's Manuel" (Jeffery St. Clair) shows he's been groomed for this kind of gig.
We near 'C' time; Cap-and-trade, Copenhagen, full Court press.
Pity; his grades didn't often rise to C-level
