Good interview. I actually agree with what Gore said about the Daily Show cutting through the BS more than old fashion news.
Jon once again showed he has really become a good interviewer.
. Bump? .
That was a rerun.
And didn’t Gore look good!? Loved that outfit. Man looked hot!
Has he endorsed a candidate yet?
I like Gore. And lately, I like Stewart. But he sure as heck softballed that interview. Lots of questions are out there about Gore’s jet fuel consumption, his house being less fuel efficient than Bush’s, and so on. Yes, I’m sure Kos or someone has addressed those, but when you have the horse’s mouth right there with you, you’re supposed to let him address them.
Since he has only ten minutes for an interview, Jon probably felt he wouldn’t waste precious question time on junk. Fortunately he stuck to questions relevant to Gore’s current book, which addresses stuff that Jon seems to feel strongly about (such as the news media’s pathetic ignoring its responsibility to report on important issues and instead focusing on dumbass muckraking crap like, oh, the jet fuel used by a guy who never said people should stop flying).
Loved Gore’s dry humor, his articulateness, and his vision. I don’t think Gore will be endorsing anyone else for some time. (Hopefully … not for another eight years. 
) The audience loved him too. And Jon’s beer hat at the end was hilarious.
Why do you claim to like Gore and then spew right-wing attack talking points against him? This is a common tactic used by astroturfers to spread negative propaganda: “I hate Bush as much as all of you fellow liberals, 'cause we’re all liberals here, right? But I think maybe his new idea for a doomsday device isn’t so bad…” “I love John Kerry, but what about those accusations that he is the Manchurian Candidate…”
The “questions out there,” which are actually the product of a Rovian whisper campaign, have all been answered again and again: Gore applied to his neighborhood association for permission to install solar panels on his roof but was denied. The neighborhood association’s rules were recently updated, and he’s moving ahead with installing the solar panels. Plus, he participates in the TVA green power program where he buys electricity at a higher rate in order to promote the development of greenhouse-emission-free energy. Surely a Libertarian like you Liberal finds the neighborhood association’s interference with what the man wanted to do with his private property offensive.
Maybe the reason that Stewart didn’t ask about the “questions out there” is because he knows the “questions” are really stupid baseless smears.
Claim? Spew? 
As one who favors neither the left nor the right, I’d say that I’m decidedly not spewing anyone’s talking points. I’m saying that Stewart softballed the interview. And it doesn’t matter how many times the points have been addressed, they haven’t been addressed by Gore to Stewart. If they’re right-wing propoganda, then he has the opportunity to say so.
As to who likes Gore and who just says so, have you opened any threads like this?
All I can say is that it’s a sad day when our best hope for hard questioning of politicians is on a fake news show.
Well, there is always NPR or Charlie Rose* still. That is your best hope for hard questioning of politicians. Commercial news is all softballs and yellow journalism IMHO.

- Of course Charlie Rose is boring 90% of the time. Slight drawback.
I’d add Tim Russert to that list. Anything you’ve ever said that needs ‘splainin’ will be up on the screen, and he’ll be reading it and asking you to respond.
Okay, he seems so confrontational, that I forget he is considered legitimate. Sometimes he is more humorous than the SNL take-offs on him. I guess he is the opposite side of the coin of Rose. One is nearly catatonic and the other is in the guest’s face and practically in ours.

Why hello Mr. Gore, please allow me to jerk you off.
Why thank you John! If you turn this way a little bit, I think I could jerk you off at the same time.
I happened to catch that even though I don’t usually watch the daily show. It wasn’t a bad interview… I guess I just got tired of the daily show as it became more and more biased and smug. I do watch the Colbert Report every day even though it has the same biases, but manages to be funny more than smug/preachy.
