As was about ten dozen other speculators who said Al Gore COULD announce his presidential run at the Oscar’s. But since they say COULD after writing sensational headlines and lead paragraphs with no real sources they get away with it.

Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth did win the Oscar for Best Documentary Film, but Gore made no such announcement. So you would guess that all the articles being written about his possible run for president have now stopped. Oh quite the contrary, they are at an all time ‘08 high my friends!

Meanwhile the top H1 story at Drudge? “GORE MANSION USES 20X AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION INCREASE AFTER ‘TRUTH’” Apparently the attempted assassination of the Iraqi Vice President (and stroke of Iraqi President) just aren’t newsy enough.
