Al Gore to be honoured with Emmy

From the BBC

Al Gore and An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim at the Oscars Al Gore's documentary won Academy Award recognition Former US vice president Al Gore is to receive an honorary International Emmy award for his work in broadcasting.

Gore will be recognized for his hard-hitting environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth, which won two Academy Awards last month. His pivotal role in setting up Current TV, which features programmes made by viewers, is also being honored.

The Founders Award, given to those who "touch our common humanity", will be presented to Gore in November. The International Emmy awards ceremony will take place in New York.


So as a fan of the man to run for President this press is welcome news. I would have to say between the Academy Award, the Nobel Peace Prize and now this, let alone the actually work that Al does everyday to garner these awards he's getting plenty of media.

Heck, does he even need to have a campaign up and running? Actually that has been taken care of by the grass roots folks over and they are at AlGore.org. Those that are -- the only thing they are doing is collecting money to by media time. Now within Al's world of conservation why not try to get both. The strategy is flawless.

We know that every other campaign is opening each day the papers, web browsers and their emails looking to see if they have been mentioned. Good or bad. Now what they also see is some that is not spending money getting just as much press. That sucks for them.

In 2007 it is good to be Al Gore and for those that support him running for President. Which is a job the majority of Americans all ready voted to give him once . I would say looking back to the 2000 elections had the courts not made the vote for us he would be finishing up now and his VP would be running.

Since this did not happen the democratic process has been in hibernation and for the looks of things it is starting to wake up. If I was a candidate thinking that the road to the white house is wide open.

I have one word --Karma.
