Al Gore, Animated

I had no idea that Al Gore's daughter, Kristin, was a comedy writer whose credits include the brilliant and underappreciated Futurama. She is at least partially responsible for this clever trailer, starring an animated Gore and Futurama's crass, self-important robot anti-hero Bender, for An Inconvenient Truth. Gore continues to deny any desire to run in 2008, which of course puts him at the very top of the viability chart in US politics. A dream scenario might be a brokered convention in which Gore is effectively drafted, but it seems almost impossible in this day and age for a party to host a convention without a candidate firmly in the bag.
