BECAUSE HE DIDN’T READ IT: Al Gore’s polar-bear movie, The Inconvenient Truth, won a Grammy last night for best audio book. Barack Obama’s Grammy-winning audio book is so much better. [Broadway World]

Oh great, just what Al Gore’s ego needs: another award.

Al Gore, go get your own damn fries, bitch.

Move over, Howard Stern (remember him?) — Al Gore is now King of All Media.

Can’t wait to hear the Stephen Colbert backlash.

Wait, his movie turned into a book turned into audio…? What next? An Inconvenient Truth: the Musical?

If you don’t say “motherfucker” in your audiobook, you don’t get to be president.

To clarify, here is a list of shit Al Gore has won:

Nobel Fucking Prize
NAACP Image Award
Webby
US Presidential Election*

He didn’t read it himself, did he? Because that would be more dreadfully boring than the talking Al Gore doll.

Isn’t movie to book a little backwards? Should we be expecting it to be carved into stone next? (And, obv, is there an award for THAT to satisfy Gore The Publicity Whore?).

[re=239132]Doglessliberal[/re]: Don’t give Gore any ideas!

“Mr. Gore, it’s an audio book — you don’t really have to say ‘could I have the next slide, please.’”

[re=239144]norbizness[/re]: It was read by a dull triumvirate of people who were willing to be paid in sandwiches in exchange for reading 100 pages each of scientific projections and graphs:

Beau Bridges, Blair Underwood & Cynthia Nixon. Hey, remember her? She was that pale, ginger MILF who talked about her sexual needs on that show for ladies in the 90s.

[re=239132]Doglessliberal[/re]: Dreams from My Father would make a great musical–music by Elton John, book by President Barack Obama–guaranteed Tony Awards!

He won America’s Illest Dance Crew or whatever last season, too.

BillyClubb February 9, 2009 at 2:53 pm

[re=239142]mattbolt[/re]: To be fair, he never found manbearpig, and yes, “I’m serial!”.

[re=239144]norbizness[/re]: My thoughts exactly.

Doglessliberal February 9, 2009 at 2:56 pm

[re=239147]mattbolt[/re]: oh jeebus

[re=239127]cspurgeon[/re]: Colbert is going to be pissed. Finally, someone is going to take that Al Gore guy down a notch.

hobospacejungle February 9, 2009 at 3:33 pm

He’s talking, of course, about ManBearPig. Half man, half bear and half pig. Or, wait, half man, half bearpig. Or is it half bear, half manpig?

[re=239144]norbizness[/re]: When I got the move from NetFlix I had to go back several times and replay segments because I kept drifting off. He’s got to be the most boring, monotonic speaker I’ve ever heard.

Wake me for the sequel: An Incontinent Truth. It’s supposed to be an eye-opener or whatever.
