Politico: Al Gore’s self-imposed exile from politics will extend to this week’s Democratic National Convention.
Citing “obligations in Tennessee,” the former vice president’s spokeswoman told POLITICO that Gore plans to skip the festivities in Philadelphia where his former boss’s wife will accept the Democratic presidential nomination. The Tennessean first reported Gore’s decision earlier Sunday.
Gore remains one of the last Democratic Party luminaries not to make a formal endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Betsy McManus, Gore’s communications director, told POLITICO last fall that he’d wait until a nominee had been formally selected to weigh in. But it’s been more than a month since Clinton sewed up the necessary delegates, and Gore has maintained his silence on the 2016 presidential race.
There must be some mucho shady climate money to be made somewhere else!
If you’re too sleazy for Al Gore….
‘Nuff said.
There is nothing in it for him. He’s about as faithful as a rattlesnake. A phony POS!
Gore ain’t no dummy. He’s waiting with his hand out to see what she will offer him in return. That’s what they all do.
That is a story not being covered, a lot of Dems are not going particularly if they are running for office or reelection.
It isn’t the ‘United’ love fest… No matter how they spin it.
Yeah, they got a planeload of new Korean masseuses in last week, and Al’s back has been bothering him lately. Also, his front…
He’s still mad a Bill for “costing him the election”.
“Obligations in Tennessee”, huh? I don’t suppose it could be a “Dueling Banjos” competition with an inbred hillbilly, could it?
Naaah.
😛
It’s really simple. It’s going to unbearably hot and muggy in Philadelphia this week, and of course he’s opposed the the use of air conditioners, so…..
“Obligations in Tennessee”
The Mexicans who built the wall around his mansion are demanding payment, I reckon.
al who?
OFT hit it on the head. Time for Rubz ‘n’ Tugz.
The Phillie crowd would rather withstand the unbearable heat than risk Mr. Iceberg covering them with a glacier. Happens everywhere he goes.
He doesn’t want to risk getting in the middle of a Philly-syle beat-down. Smart move, shitforbrains.
FAA wouldn’t let him land his private jet?
When Cankles has to buy/bribe/threaten to kill her supporters, doesn’t say much for their backing now, does it? Wonder if the Crunt has done that all her miserable life? If she wants Hippo Hips Al to back her, she is on the ropes…
The Republican nominee’s softening on his core issue has created an awkward situation for his defenders. Al Gore’s self-imposed exile from politics will extend to this week’s Democratic National Convention.
