Al Gore is too fat to run
Yeah, that's basically what Pat Buchanan said last night on Scarborough Country. He also said, and everyone agreed, that if he were to run, he would beat Hilary and gain the nomination from the party. I agree. But, for now, he's too much of a fatass, according to Patty Patty Buke Buke. What's next, he has too much hair? Not enough? Manboobs?
Gimme a break, Pat.
Gimme a break, Pat.
SCARBOROUGH: Pat, Al Gore obviously absolutely beloved by these Hollywood stars. Does it translate to Middle America, though? I mean, this guy is becoming a rock star out there when you talk about the environment.
BUCHANAN: Well, he doesn’t have to translate right now to Middle America. But, Joe, he’s got two tremendous aces. He’s Mr. Environment. He was right on the war. Like Teddy Kennedy, he’s much better when he’s not an active candidate, you know, when he’s no longer running for something.
I think you all are exactly right. His problem, however, is one person. That is Obama, because Obama has something he doesn’t have: He’s got freshness; he’s got charisma.
SCARBOROUGH: But the same people that are supporting Obama would support Al Gore, would they not, Pat? I mean, Gore is the smart anti-war vote.
BUCHANAN: What I’m saying is that Obama has got to fade for Gore to move. He’s got to be knocked down. And if he is knocked down, Gore should drive right in there, because then I think he could win.
But you take a risk, because Iowa is not—is a state where it’s caucuses. If you line up supporters who can get out votes early, you’ve got a tremendous advantage. And it’s tough to overcome that, and Iowa would be crucial.
Another thing. Al Gore came in 40 pounds overweight for spring training, Joe. He has got to—look, you went out for football, Joe. You when a coach sees some guy waddling onto the field, he’s been eating all winter, it’s hellish. And he’s got to lose that, and he’s got to—then I think he can do it.
SCARBOROUGH: You know, my coach always told me that I’d been cheating on my wind sprints over the summer. And it was very obvious.

Pat Buchanan has a fat head and that didn't stop him from running for President.
Excuse me? I don't believe Mr. Buchanan's looked at himself in the mirror lately, has he?
I think the point he's trying to make is that Gore putting on weight is a sign that he's no longer active in politics because he's not as concerned with his image.
btw, Gore will endorse Obama later this year. I will say no more.
Interesting that you seize on Buchanan's comment when Hillary's staff is watching his weight as well. They indicated they'll believe he's running when he loses some weight.
And, unfortunately both Buchanan and Hillary's staff are correct. In this image driven world, that extra poundage is gonna hurt him.
Moreso, I think because he put it all on so quickly after losing in 2000. Chris is right. Gore doesn't appear to be concerned about his image.
Nobody can complain he has too much hair. He has a baldspot the size of Oprah's ass.
You are a baldist AND a fattist.
Ward-I am NO Hillary fan, and frankly, she should watch what she says about anyone else's appearance.
