Shorter Steve McIntyre: Al Gore is fat.
(Shorter concept invented by D squared, perfected by Busy, busy, busy.)
Update: McIntyre has edited his post. Here's what he originally wrote:
Gore has gotten a little stout over the years and a little jowly, as though he was subconsciously morphing into a shape more suitable to lead a penguin army.

There's a school of opinion, fwiw, that says stout al = al who's definitely not running (and that al who turns up to get an oscar will definitely be al who's not running

As I pointed out over there, the comments seem to be morphing to a newer Shorter - Al Gore is a fat hippy.
Apparently, some readers of Ecotopia and Monkey Wrench Gang have left interesting comments in Amazon reviews. This, apparently, discredits Al Gore.

'If science can be explained to Al, then he can explain it to the masses.' -- steve mcintyre
the real question is who can explain science to steve mcintyre?
it's admittedly a tough job, but there must be someone who can do it.

Very appropriate that McIntyre leads off his smarm by referencing ExxonMobil astroturf PR.
