Al Gore to Iowa Amid Clinton Scandal

As reporters and members of Congress begin to dig into the Clinton email scandal, former Democratic presidential candidate has announced an upcoming visit to Iowa. He'll be in the important caucus state from May 5-7, as part of a training sessions for the Climate Reality Project, of which he's chairman.

"During the training, you’ll hear from The Climate Reality Project Chairman and founder, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, as well as world-class scientists, strategists, communicators, and technical specialists about the science of climate change and the direct cost impacts are having on communities around the world. Most importantly, you’ll learn about the solutions that are available today. You will also learn a twenty-first-century skillset in storytelling, public speaking, social media networking, and media engagement from successful grassroots organizers who will share best practices for positive impact," reads a description of the program.

"The Climate Reality Leadership Corps training will bring together scientists, non-profits, civil servants, and policy-makers to craft strategies and action plans towards a sustainable future for the U.S., the North American continent, and around the world."

While Gore has not expressed presidential ambitions in some time, some Republicans cannot help but wonder about the timing of the trip.  Especially as the Clinton email scandal begins to grow.

"When it comes to politicians visiting Iowa, I don’t believe in coincidences," one experienced Republican hand says.

"Al Gore, like Hillary Clinton has spent most of his life in politics. Running for office is something that’s in his blood, and he probably thinks that the waters for a potential bid are getting a little, shall we say, warmer."

Al Gore for president.  Why not? The Dems are desperate t o find someone as an alternative to Hillary.  Al Gore would certainly fit the shoe.  Team him up with Warren and we have two known liars; one about their heritage and the other about inventing the internet.  Both of them have proclaimed how much they will help the poor and middle class while they've raked in millions.  Just what America needs. Sure makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Uh, Al, how about the direct cost of all the roofs collapsing from the heaviest snowfall and coldest winter on record?

Uh, I think you're trying to use logic and common sense here in your comment - what the hell are you thinking?  We don't need no stinkin' logic!  Al Gore is the world's preeminent scientist!  It's settled science!

Al Gore has been sufficiently damaged by popular culture that there is no chance for him. None, zero, zilch, nada.

ManBearPig is all I have to say about that.
