On the McLaughlin Group's "2006 Year-End Awards" aired over the Christmas weekend, Newsweek's Eleanor Clift hailed Al Gore for the "Best Comeback," trumpeting him: "Al Gore, who is now in contention as a possible presidential candidate and who is leading a campaign to recognize the potential danger of global warming. Hooray that he is back."
After giving her "Enough Already!" distinction to "Bush and Cheney," Clift championed Democrat James Webb as her "Person of the Year" at the end of the show: "Virginia Senator-elect James Webb, the former combat veteran, novelist won the race and has the stamina and the imagination to help lead the campaign to get this country out of Iraq."

Since we're at the end of 2006, I'm just wondering how many feet the sea level rose in the past year. What was that you said? Zero feet? You mean all this global warming didn't cause a catastrophic rise in sea level? Holy cow! Al Gore was wrong!

December 27, 2006 - 15:39 ET by rimskyEC is not a journalist, she is a megaphone for liberal thinking and a loud speaker for Bush bashing hatred. All due respect, I suppose.. she has made a career for herself, but exactly what makes her such an expert? So she's been a WH corespondent (during the Clinton years) and she's followed Demo campaigns? So What? So she's a brainwashed liberal pundit?

December 27, 2006 - 17:34 ET by TexasOptimistI sorta agree with you. NewsBusters should perhaps focus on those "journalists" that claim to engage in objective reporting. On the McLaughlin Group, Clift and the other panelists are SUPPOSED to give their opinions, as shallow and misguided as they may be.
Merry Christmas.
Send Eleanor Clift to Iran
December 27, 2006 - 15:54 ET by j17ghsA burqa would do wonders for EC's looks. Let's send her to Iran, one way, very soon. McL Group was once a decent political show, though always left-leaning. Today, the show's just more maggots feeding off the bottom of the rendering barrel. Tony Blankley should get out before he gets tarred with the same brush.

I hope she realizes Gore has about as much of a chance to be elected Prez as she does when it comes to making any rational point of view.
Btw....now that I think of it, she may not of been the original screech, Shrillary may have her beat...she's working on it anyway....more to come!

December 27, 2006 - 20:03 ET by Dave DThis is why I wonder why anybody here would be upset. I mean the guy couldn't win when he had an automatic nomination and the wind of "8 years of peace and prosperity" at his back against supposedly one of the most incompetent politicians that could ever exist. Now I'm supposed to think "Professor Genius (TM)" has got a great shot at the presidency? Maybe she'll pine that he'll join forces with "Captain Liberal(TM)" as his VP.
Don't be so sure
December 27, 2006 - 20:50 ET by nkviking75I wouldn't be quite so sure. Don't get me wrong: Al Gore is a complete joke. However, he was a whisker away from becoming the President in 2000. He came to the battle armed with a plot to steal the election, a plot that was already in motion while the voting was still going on. More than that, it nearly worked. Unfortunately, there are enough brain-dead libs out there who will support this bozo that he could have a shot in spite of his obvious lack of qualifications for the job.

December 27, 2006 - 21:02 ET by bigtimerI agree with your assessment viking...I just feel whomever is running or whatever the position is the democrat is running for, they all come armed with plan ABC and D, with legal guns ablazing to boot! Media their biggest number one free advocate. We can count on it.

December 27, 2006 - 19:21 ET by winston smith"Newsweek's Eleanor Clift hailed Al Gore for "Best Comeback"......."
Yeah right, Eleanor because Al Gore was never even once challenged in the press or MSM who are unbridled Democrat party shills. And of course, Gore skillfully avoided any "unfriendly" media (of which there is very little, anyway) that could expose his cinematic fraud of a movie by pointing out facts and experts that Gore "conveniently" ignored. So if you want to call that a "comeback" be my guest but you know damn well that the biggest comeback of the year was the economic recovery and boom which you and the rest of the media purposely ignored and continue to do so.

Consider your upgrades very carefully folks. Mozilla and PCCillian for my PC!
<Edited> if you click the link button a different screen appears....cleaver of them, I will attempt another avenue. Sorry to waste your time, working on the issue.
This is the first line of what I receive;
"Sorry, we couldn't find http://newsbusters.o.... Here are some related websites:"
I give, I have three sites fighting me and I do not have it in me right now to battle all three.
But for a clue: the first listing under "Related Websites" is the Book of "Why Mommy is a Democrat", the second is "Impeach Bush", etc., etc., get the picture?

December 27, 2006 - 22:03 ET by JABBT, the "IE" (Internet Explorer) I was referring to was the infamous "Gates" Windows "IE". I don't know if it's Google (my prime suspect), Dell or Microsoft.
It could be all three for all I know but the link I copied is not the link I receive -- they omit the "newsbusters" portion of the link when you click on it.
I can send the reply through a private IM but this site will not let me post it, nor (i Expect) email it to you.

JAB,I don't have any problem
December 28, 2006 - 00:20 ET by Indiana JoeJAB,
I don't have any problem like that with IE 7 (which is the upgrade I assume you refer to). I HAVE heard there are "bugs" in the system, but the worst thing I've seemed to find is an occasional tendency to "bog down," and I have to re-boot to clear things up.
Also, that URL that your browser says it "can't find." Sounds like you get it when you hit "refresh" when creating a comment, no? I HAVE had problems with comments going "poof" when I hit the "preview" or "post" buttons, but no re-direct to Google, or anywhere else. Just that "Internet Explorer cannot find the page." So I've developed the habit of "copying" a post before I hit the buttons. Makes it easier to just recreate the post, rather than starting completely over.
But just "refreshing" a thread or the home page? No, I don't have any problem like that. Could you have a corrupted version of IE 7? I got mine directly from the Microsoft site, and as I say, the problems have been pretty minimal.
Regards,
IJ

December 28, 2006 - 06:11 ET byDidn't Al Gore embarrass our nation enough the first time he lost?
Seriously, there should be a law against poor losers running again! hmm... although.... It would be sort of funny to see him and Hillary duke it out in the primaries. That would be a riot. I would love to see the cry-baby Dems who got so upset over Gore losing, have to pick between him and Hillary.
Someone pass me the popcorn. This should be good!
And while they are playing "One Potato, Two Potato," perhaps some nice conservative could win the Republican nomination. And please don't even THINK Romney--He is not a conservative. Heck, he is barely human!

Eleanor Clift on Al Gore
December 28, 2006 - 12:44 ET by Ken in SantaBarbaraOn that show, what did not surprise me was the two liberals gave every positive "award" to a liberal or Democrat and every negative to a Republican. The two conservatives mixed theirs up. The test of intellectual honesty is when you criticize your own; something the left never does, unless someone is not left enough.
