Al Gore is still being coy. On a visit to Australia, he said he is not ruling out a run for the presidency.
Gore spoke to reporters in Sydney, where he was promoting the local premiere of his documentary on global warming.
"I haven't completely ruled out running for president again in the future but I don't expect to," Gore said before the Sunday night premiere of "An Inconvenient Truth."
"I offer the explanation not as an effort to be coy or clever. It's just the internal shifting of gears after being in politics almost 30 years. I hate to grind the gears," he added.
The funniest thing in the story as far as we're concerned is the refusal of John Howard to meet Gore to listen to him urge Australia to sign on to Kyoto. Mr. Howard told reporters: ""I don't take policy advice from films."
As we understand it, Gore is keeping his options open because of the enormously strong support he is getting from certain left wing bloggers. They continue to keep his name flitting about throughout the interweb thingee that Gore invented. In fact, we happened to find him having a strategy session with a couple of his supporters. We were not able to positively identify the supporters, but they certainly resemble a blogger with the initials GG.
