If Al Gore Was President

SnlgoreI don’t watch Saturday Night Live anymore, but I regret not seeing Al Gore open the show this past weekend.  He spoke as President Al Gore, looking back on his six years in office.

Crooks and Liars has video. A snippet:

As I speak, the gigantic national budget surplus is down to a perilously low $11 trillion dollars.

And don’t get any ideas. That money is staying in the very successful lockbox. We’re not touching it.

Of course, we could give economic aid to China, or lend money to the Saudis… again.

But right now we’re already so loved by everyone in the world that American tourists can’t even go over to Europe anymore… without getting hugged.

There have been some setbacks. Unfortunately, the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Michael Moore was bitter and devisive. However, I could not be more proud of how the House and Senate pulled together to confirm the nomination of Chief Justice George Clooney.
