Gore in an Obama administration?

And my desire to see Obama’s campaign go down in flames just increased tenfold.

Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday he talks regularly with former vice president Al Gore and would consider putting him in a Cabinet-level position or higher.

A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming.

“I would,” Obama said. “Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He’s somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I’m already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now.”

I can’t think of much more beyond ‘No no no no no’. Of course, are we going to see anything different from a McCain administration, save for being spared having to deal with Al Gore in an official governmental capacity again? They’re all Global Warming kool-aid drinkers. It’s sort of depressing to think about.

I’ll attempt some positive spin: this will energize the Republican base.
